L.U.C Lunar One: A Perpetual Calendar with Timeless Appeal

The Lunar One has been reintroduced with a smaller 40.5mm case, down from its previous 43mm size. This adjustment not only enhances comfort but also brings better proportion to the perpetual calendar and moon-phase complications. The case, available in white gold or rose gold, features satin-brushed flanks and polished bezels, delivering a balanced aesthetic.

Dial Details and Guilloché Craftsmanship

The new dials come in two stunning variations: a salmon-hued dial for the white gold model and a blue dial for the rose gold version. Both are adorned with hand-applied guilloché patterns, replacing the Roman numerals with sleek herringbone-style gold indices for a cleaner look. Calendar indicators, including the big date and moon phase, retain their classic layout but now feature enhanced readability.

At the heart of the Lunar One is the L.U.C 96.13-L calibre, a self-winding movement with a 65-hour power reserve. Its micro-rotor, crafted in 22-carat gold, ensures efficient winding while maintaining a slim profile. Certified by COSC and bearing the Geneva Seal, the movement exemplifies precision and fine finishing.
