Across the sources

The 34mm Heritage edition revives the proportions of the original 1976 men's watch, featuring 21 diamonds totaling 1.05 carats.

Revolution

The 24mm Heritage edition is a concurrent release, featuring nine diamonds and powered by a quartz movement.

Revolution

The manual winding Chopard Caliber 10.01-C movement in the 34mm model is one of Chopard's smallest and thinnest, measuring 15.7mm in diameter and 2.9mm thick, with a 45-hour power reserve.

Revolution

The design is inspired by the original 1976 Happy Diamonds watch by Joyceline Tully, with diamonds set in gold bezels that allow them to spin freely between two sapphire crystals.

The caseback of the 34mm model features a porthole revealing the Côtes de Genève decoration on the movement's nickel-silver bridges.
