Chopard L.U.C GMT One 161943-5001 Brown Dial 18k Rose Gold 42mm

The Chopard L.U.C GMT One reference 161943-5001 is a pure expression of the maison’s haute horlogerie ambition — a 42mm 18k ethical rose gold travel watch built around the in-house L.U.C 01.10-L caliber, COSC-certified and finished to a standard that places it squarely among the most serious GMT references in the modern Swiss landscape. The L.U.C collection has, since its 1996 launch, served as Chopard’s platform for traditional fine watchmaking, and the GMT One distills that philosophy into a single-paragraph dress traveler. The case measures 42mm by 11.71mm, sculpted in ethical 18k rose gold with brushed and polished surfaces in equal measure. The brown dial is created through galvanic treatment with a satin-brushed sunburst finish centered on the L.UCHOPARD logo, with applied Arabic numerals and hour markers coated in Super-LumiNova for low-light legibility. A central GMT hand tracks a second time zone, with a date aperture integrated into the lower dial. Powering the watch is the in-house L.U.C 01.10-L self-winding mechanical movement — COSC chronometer-certified, beating at 28,800 vph with 41 jewels and a 60-hour power reserve including stop-second function. Water-resistant to 50 meters and presented on a brown alligator strap with 18k rose gold tang buckle. The L.U.C GMT One is the dress traveler for collectors who value haute horlogerie credentials over marketing reach. Affirm financing available at checkout.
