L.U.C CHRONO ONE
FLYBACK
The L.U.C Chrono One Flyback watch,
with its assertive, perfectly harmonious
character, features a silver dial with a
sunray motif that radiates out from the
name of the brand's founder, Louis­
Ulysse Chopard, and from its appliqué
Roman numerals and black counters.
The only concessions made to a more
contemporary approach to fine watch­
making are the few touches of bright
red adorning the minute circle and the
chronograph seconds hand, and the
pushers that are integrated into the
42 mm case middle either side of the
crown protector. Visible through the
transparent bevelled case­back, its
L.U.C 03.03­L self­winding mechanical
calibre is fitted with a 22­carat gold oscil­
lating weight.
It offers a power reserve of 60 hours and
has a chronometer certificate issued by
the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing
Institute (COSC). This chronograph cali­
bre presents several major innovations,
and has been the subject of various
patent applications. The L.U.C Chrono
One Flyback model houses a self­wind­
