Chopard 139383-1701 L’Heure du Diamant Oval Diamond Watch

The Chopard 139383-1701 L’Heure du Diamant in its oval incarnation is one of high watchmaking’s most uncompromising expressions of femininity. Conceived entirely around the poetry of light, the 139383-1701 pairs a hand-engraved guilloche mother-of-pearl dial with a constellation of white diamonds — all housed in an 18-carat ethical white gold case whose softly curved oval silhouette has become one of Chopard’s most recognizable signatures. Against a supple black satin strap, every element of this watch tells a story of deliberate contrast: the warmth of luminous mother-of-pearl against the cool clarity of diamonds, the architectural precision of the case against the fluid drape of the strap.

Design & Craftsmanship

The dial is a masterwork in microcraftsmanship. At its centre, a hand-applied guilloche pattern catches and scatters light with each movement of the wrist. Around this, a full pavé setting of white diamonds frames the dial perimeter, with the bezel continuing the diamond theme in a seamless arc of brilliance. The oval case shape — measuring 34.10 mm × 40.00 mm — is an elegant departure from the round norm, giving the watch a distinctly jewellery-forward identity that wears beautifully on the wrist.

Movement

Inside beats Chopard Calibre 10.01-C, a manually wound movement with a generous 45-hour power reserve. The choice of manual winding is deliberate: it keeps the movement exceptionally slim, allowing the case to maintain its refined, jewellery-like profile. With hours and minutes as its only functions, the watch distils timekeeping to its purest, most elegant form.

Wearability

Presented on a black satin strap secured by a tang buckle, the 139383-1701 pairs effortlessly with both formal and understated ensembles. Water resistant to 30 metres, it is built for the realities of daily life while remaining wholly dedicated to the exceptional.
