Quick TakeThis Pink Panther isn't just telling time; it's putting on a show right there on your wrist! Forget subtle – this Chronoswiss screams confidence with that electrifying pink guilloché dial peeking through the intricate, skeletonized bridges. It’s like getting a backstage pass to the watch's inner workings, where the regulator layout separates hours, minutes, and seconds onto different axes – a nod to old-school precision clocks, but with a totally modern, almost rebellious twist. The black DLC case provides the perfect dark stage for that vibrant pink dial and the fascinating dance of the open gear mechanism. You can literally watch the train wheels turning. It's mechanically fascinating, visually captivating, and the pink rotor visible through the back? Chef's kiss! It’s tough too, with 100m water resistance and that scratch-resistant DLC coating. Limited to just 50 pieces, wearing this isn't just about owning a high-quality automatic; it's about strapping on a piece of mechanical art that refuses to blend in. It's bold, it's technical, and it’s undeniably cool.

DescriptionThe timepiece utilizes the Chronoswiss Caliber C.299 automatic movement, operating at a frequency of 4 Hz, equivalent to 28,800 alternations per hour. This mechanism incorporates 31 jewels to minimize friction and enhance operational longevity. Its power reserve is specified at approximately 42 hours when fully wound. The movement's finishing includes a polished pallet lever, escape wheel, and screws. Further decorative elements comprise colimaçon finishing on bridges and plates, alongside thermally blued screws. Visible through the case back's sapphire crystal, the rotor features skeletonization and a distinctive pink Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) coating. This rotor is adorned with Côtes de Genève and colimaçon patterns and operates on a ball bearing system for winding efficiency. The case construction involves 16 individual parts, crafted from stainless steel treated with a durable black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. Dimensional specifications include a diameter of 41 mm and a height of 13.85 mm. The lug width accommodates a 21 mm strap. Case finishing combines partly polished surfaces with areas exhibiting a vertical satin finish. An onion-style crown facilitates time-setting and winding.

Water resistance is rated at 10 bar, corresponding to a depth of 100 meters, ensured partly by a screw-down case back featuring a satin finish and a sapphire crystal exhibition window. The bezel is a polished, screw-down type characterized by a full thread and side knurling, securing a curved sapphire crystal treated with an anti-reflective coating to enhance legibility. The dial architecture is complex, constructed on two distinct levels. The lower level presents a hand-executed guilloché pattern, providing a textured base. The upper level is distinguished by screwed-on, skeletonized train wheel bridges and funnel-shaped structures framing the hour and seconds displays, contributing to the "open gear" aesthetic. Time indication follows a regulator format: off-centre hours are displayed in a sub-dial at the 12 o'clock position, central minutes are indicated by the main hand, and a small seconds display resides at the 6 o'clock position. The hands, designated as "Trigono" shape, are lacquered and incorporate Super-LumiNova inlays for visibility in low light conditions. Notably, the minute hand is meticulously bent by hand. This model is restricted to a production run of only 50 units.
