The creation from Chopard, the LUC Lunar Big Date cams on the market with an outstanding feature that can indicate the orbital moon phase. The orbital moon phase indicator is the new high teak technology that can be as accurate as a powerful telescope and it is the result of 10 years of work from Chopard engineers. The placement of the moon indicator is on the left down side of the dial and it is pretty big and it will reveal to you on what phase the moon is actually regarding the earth. The mechanism was created with the help of meticulous bearings and very sensible dials that has over 1200 knurls on it and it was created in a dimension of 12 millimeters beneath the dial.

     The case of the watch is made from solid red gold and its exterior design reveals an extraordinary line that combines the elegance with simplicity in a way that we encounter only on the big companies. In this way the Chopard manufacturers has proven to the world that they deserve to be on tops when we speak about developing and creating new pieces of technologies. The entire case of the watch measures 42 millimeters in diameter and it is protected by a sapphire crystal glass that it is treated not to reflect the light and also permits us to clearly see the Arabic numbers that are also created from 18 karats red gold.

     The LUC Lunar Big Date has also the ability to indicate the seconds and to reveal the date of the year. The second’s indicator is placed on the down right part of the dial and works on two layers. Actually the layers that indicate seconds are set one on top of the other and the indicator runs throw both of them by indicating one second on one layer and the other second on the other layer, also a unique system that we encounter on the watches manufacturer.

     The date indicator is very big and it is positioned near the 12 hour. The engineers has implementing also a unique fact and the date system can not be set or modify, the actually date system is set only once in the lifetime of the watch and that is in the factory where it was created.

     The bezel of the LUC Lunar Big Date is also made entirely from red gold and on the exterior side it has the emblem of the company inscribe on it. The bezel can set the hour and the minute’s indicators but also the second’s indicator can be set to zero also with the help of the bezel.

     The watch is being constructed only on 500 pieces and it will appear on the market on the beginning of July 2009. The LUC Lunar Big Date will have a 5 years warranty of the entire system and can be bought with a black leather belt that can be adjusted on every hand.

     For those of you who seek more technical information we can say that the watch can resist only 30 meters under the water and the manufacturer doesn’t recommend that you can keep your watch on your hand when you go swimming or even when you take a shower. The properties that complete the LUC Lunar Big Date are almost amazing and the fact that is being set on this very small amount of space, the water proof option was not an attention that the constructor took. They where more concentrate on the spectacular moon phase indicator.
     The price of the watch is around 5000 euros.
