The display offers a double complication: a jumping hour and retrograde minutes.
In this watch, which is anything but retrograde, the combination grants a dial that stands out without being attention-grabbing. The little second hand at six o'clock balances everything out. The jumping hours are over 24 hours, with the Chronoswiss logo replacing the number 24.
The retrograde minute hand is a magnificent shade of blue. And being slightly rounded off, the light reflected underneath makes the deep black edges shade off into an ultramarine blue - beautiful and very classic. Come to 60, in a fraction of a second, the hand moves to zero, whilst the hour changes. The return of the minute hand is accompanied by a small and discreet “tick”. Without even having to look, you know when a new hour is starting. The guilloche dial in silver is truly amazing.  The characteristic Chronoswiss case is well proportioned with the barrel and screwed on straps. The edge of the case is straight and slightly brushed. The watch has a new black Hirsch alligator strap fitted. A new original brown Chronoswiss alligator strap is part of the sale.   The Enicar movement visible through the transparent has a perlage and Cotes de Genève finish. The watch is sold with wooden box and papers – see pictures.
I am a private collector. Having recently bought my dream Patek watch it’s time to sell part of my collection. Private sale, no warranty or return. Deal in person preferred, open to reasonable offers and ready to decline silly ones. Thanks for looking.
