A valid critique, Fx. Personally, I have come to like the date window.
I must admit on many dials, Chopard included, I dislike the presence (or the particular placement) of a date window for aesthetic reasons. Nonetheless, I find the date complication quite useful, notwithstanding the smart phone that virtually always sits in my right front pocket!
On the 16/1860, its presence at 6:00, in lieu of an hour marker, does not bother the symmetry of this dial. It does interrupt the sub-seconds dial, but in a way I am willing to excuse, particularly in light of the elegance of the guilloche, the markers and the hands.
In any event, I always have the Tech QF if I need an L.U.C without a date (and soon the 1963 Chronograph PuristS Edition)!
