At 6 o’clock, you can see the seconds sub-dial with a hand that’s similar to the hours and minutes hand since it’s also gilded, but it isn’t done in the exact same style. I appreciate Chopard’s own-designed and proprietary font and red color used to indicate the time increments at 15, 45, and 60 and even though I wasn’t sure about the markers in between the digits at first, it’s something I really like today. Also, a noteworthy detail is that these markers — equally the numerals and the little points between them — are so modest, despite my great near-sight I could barely take them out.Additionally, as is usual for so many L.U.C watches, there’s the date window positioned at the bottom of the moments sub-dial, blended into the minute path to minimize its influence on the dial aesthetics. — that is always the question, but I could love Chopard Women’s Watches Sale Replica sticking with its idea of adding this extra piece of functionality. Again, to be taken into account is also the simple fact that this is one of the smaller date windows — consider the sub-40mm size of this watch and the proportionally yet smaller date window, and also the distraction-factor is in fact minimized.The exhibition case-back permits a view to the Geneva Seal accepted 97.01-L Calibre movement that, like the 97.03-L found from the L.U.C Tonneau view, is a tonneau-shaped automatic movement. The movement steps at 28.15mm by 27.60mm at only 3.3mm thick and is made of 197 components, and has 29 jewels.Chopard calls the L.U.C Heritage Grand Cru “the only tonneau shape watch wound with an automated movement” — although the Clé de Cartier, several Richard Mille bits, and even some Franck Muller models spring to mind as other watches that fit this description.The Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpa Hebdomadaire is really a tonneau shaped watch with a tonneau shaped motion, but one that is a manual wind, but also the RM 67-01 (hands-on here) is very much a tonneau-shaped movement in a tonneau watch.
Aficionados of high-end mechanical watches will find it curious but the Chopard Watches Forum Replica Happy Diamonds is one of the best selling ladies watches ever. The floating diamonds that are its signature have now been sprinkled into a diver’s watch for ladies that makes its debut Baselworld 2017.
The Happy Ocean is a 40mm, stainless steel diver that’s hard to take seriously at first glance but is nonetheless rated to 300m and equipped with Chopard’s in-house calibre 01.01-C.
Produced in the Fleurier factory that also makes Chopard’s top of the line L.U.C movements as well as the Ferdinand Berthoud chain and fusee tourbillon, the 01.01-C is automatic with a 60-hour power reserve.
The dial has a generic dive watch style, with five free floating diamonds above it. The stones sit in between two sapphire crystals, one just above the dial and the other a conventional crystal on the outside.
Available with red or green accents on the bezel, the Happy Ocean is delivered on a fabric NATO-style strap.
Price and availability
The Happy Ocean is priced at SFr8200 (about US$8230) and will be available starting July 2017.
