Quick TakeWhat a statement piece this Chronoswiss Flying Regulator Anniversary Edition makes! It's not just telling time; it's putting the art of timekeeping front and center with that audacious Open Gear design. You get to see the skeletonized gears doing their dance right on the dial – it's like the watch decided its inner workings were too cool to hide. The two-level dial adds incredible depth, with that hand-guilloché lower level contrasting sharply with the modern, screwed-on bridges above. The off-center hours at 12 and small seconds at 6 scream "regulator," a nod to historical precision instruments, but done with contemporary flair, especially with those pops of orange and the skeletonized rotor flashing through the back. Limited to just 35 pieces worldwide, each with a hand-painted number? That's exclusivity dialed up. It feels engineered, yet playful, a mechanical marvel strapped to your wrist with luxurious alligator leather. It’s a conversation starter that confidently blends traditional craft with a bold, almost industrial aesthetic, perfect for someone who appreciates both heritage and head-turning design.

DescriptionThe Chronoswiss Flying Regulator Anniversary Edition, reference CH-8753-BKOR, is encased in stainless steel, constructed from 16 individual parts. Its dimensions are precisely 41 mm in diameter and 13.85 mm in height, accommodating a 21 mm band width. The case exhibits a dual finish, incorporating both polished surfaces and sections with a vertical satin finish, complemented by a characteristic onion crown. Securing the case back is a screw-down component featuring a satin finish and an integrated sapphire crystal, allowing observation of the internal mechanism. The bezel is a polished, screw-down type, distinguished by a full thread and side knurling, and it houses a curved, non-reflecting sapphire crystal to protect the dial. This construction ensures water resistance up to 10 bar, equivalent to 100 meters, making it suitable for surface water activities. The overall design carefully balances robustness with refined finishing details, typical of the brand's engineering approach, ensuring durability alongside aesthetic appeal.

Powering this timepiece is the Caliber C.299 automatic movement, operating at a frequency of 4 Hz, or 28,800 alternations per hour (A/h). This movement provides an approximate power reserve of 42 hours when fully wound and incorporates 31 jewels to minimize friction and wear on critical components. Movement finishing includes a rhodium-plated pallet with spiral offsets, circular-grained bridges, and screws that are either thermally blued or polished. The rotor, visible through the case back, is distinctively skeletonized, rendered in orange, engraved with Geneva Stripes, and mounted on a ball bearing for efficient winding. The dial itself is an elaborate two-level construction. The lower level features hand-applied guilloché decoration, while the upper level secures skeletonized train wheel bridges and funnel-like structures for the hour and second displays. Time indication follows the regulator format: off-centre hours positioned at 12:00, central minutes, and small seconds displayed at 6:00. The "Feuille" shaped hands are rhodium-plated and feature Super-LumiNova inlays for legibility, with the minute hand being meticulously bent by hand. Each watch in this 35-piece limited edition bears a hand-painted limitation number directly on the dial. The timepiece is secured to the wrist via a hand-sewn Louisiana alligator leather strap equipped with a folding clasp.
