Quick TakeForget your typical three-hander; this Chronoswiss Anniversary piece is a conversation starter strapped to your wrist. The Flying Regulator layout isn't just functional, it's a visual treat, separating hours, minutes, and seconds into their own domains – pure mechanical clarity. Then there's that mesmerizing domed Night and Day display at 9 o'clock. It's not just a static indicator; it's a little celestial theatre, complete with Super-LumiNova stars that actually twinkle in the dark on the night side. Paired with the deep, galvanic blue of the hand-guilloched lower dial, it creates this incredible depth. The skeletonized small seconds add another layer of mechanical intrigue, while the funnelled hour display provides focus. It feels less like just telling time and more like observing a beautifully orchestrated mechanical performance, all wrapped in a robust 100m water-resistant steel case. Limited to just 50 pieces, it’s a slice of horological art that balances classic techniques with a truly dynamic display.

DescriptionRegarding the physical construction, the timepiece CH-8763-BLSI incorporates a case fabricated from stainless steel, composed of 16 individual parts. Its dimensional parameters are defined by a diameter of 41 mm and a height of 13.85 mm. The case back utilizes a screw-down design featuring a satin finish and an integrated sapphire crystal for movement observation. Complementing the case architecture is a polished screw-down bezel, characterized by a full thread and side knurling, housing a curved, non-reflecting sapphire crystal. The case finish exhibits a combination of polished and vertical satin-finished surfaces, paired with an onion-style crown. Securing the watch to the wrist is a strap interface with a width of 21 mm. Water ingress protection is rated at 10 bar, equivalent to a depth of 100 meters.

Powering the instrument is the Caliber C.296 automatic movement, operating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 alternations per hour) and offering an approximate power reserve of 42 hours. This intricate mechanism incorporates 31 jewels and features specific finishing details, including a rhodium-plated pallet with spiral offsets, circular-grained bridges, and thermally blued or polished screws. The rotor is skeletonized, rhodium-plated, engraved with Geneva Stripes, and mounted on a ball bearing system for winding efficiency. Information is presented on a dial constructed across two levels; the lower level is distinguished by hand-guillochage and a galvanic blue treatment, integrating a three-dimensional day/night display at 9:00 and a skeletonized small seconds subdial at 6:00. The upper level features funnel-like structures housing the off-center hours display at 12:00 and facilitating the central minute indication. A date aperture is positioned at 3:00. Time indication is achieved via 'Feuille' shaped hands, rhodium-plated and polished, with Super-LumiNova applied to the hour and minute hands for low-light visibility. This Anniversary Edition is attached via a hand-sewn Louisiana alligator leather strap terminating in a folding clasp. Production of this reference is strictly limited to 50 units, emphasizing its exclusivity alongside the hand-guilloched dial execution.
