Quick TakeAlright, strap in, because the ReSec Blue on Black isn't just telling time, it's putting on a show. Forget subtle – this Chronoswiss is pure mechanical theatre for the wrist, a collaboration piece with Kenny Wayne Shepherd that absolutely shreds. That black DLC case is stealthy, sure, but the dial? An explosion of layered complexity in electric blue and black. Forty-two parts make up this mini-metropolis, with bridges and gears proudly displayed like the inner workings of a high-tech engine room. You've got the hours hanging out up top at 12, minutes sweeping centrally, but the real headliner is down at 6 o'clock. That retrograde seconds hand doesn't just tick; it flicks back with impatient energy every minute, a constant reminder of the intricate C.301 automatic beating away inside. It’s got that rock 'n' roll swagger, perfectly captured on a tough Cordura strap. Limited to just 50 pieces, wearing this isn't just about knowing the time, it's about owning a piece of kinetic art that performs non-stop.

DescriptionThis particular Chronoswiss model, designated CH-6925M-EBBK, employs a multi-component case structure fabricated from stainless steel treated with a durable black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. The assembly consists of 17 individual parts, culminating in a robust housing measuring 44 mm in diameter and 13.35 mm in height. Lug-to-lug integration accommodates a strap width of 22 mm. External surfaces exhibit a primarily matt finish, accented with sections of vertical satin brushing for contrast. Protecting the dial is a curved sapphire crystal, enhanced with double anti-reflective coatings to maximize legibility under various lighting conditions. This crystal is secured by a screw-down matt bezel featuring a full thread design and distinctive side knurling, contributing to the watch's functional aesthetic and ensuring structural integrity. The case back mirrors this robust construction, utilizing a screw-down design with a satin finish and incorporating a flat sapphire crystal for viewing the movement within. Water resistance is rated at 10 bar, equivalent to a depth of 100 meters, rendering the timepiece suitable for surface water activities.

Internally, the timepiece is powered by the self-winding Caliber C.301 movement, which operates at a standard frequency of 4 Hz, or 28,800 alternations per hour (A/h). This mechanism, built with 33 jewels to minimize friction, provides a power reserve of approximately 42 hours when fully wound. Finishing details within the movement include polished surfaces on the pallet lever, escape wheel, and screws, while the bridges and plates are decorated with a traditional perlage pattern. Visible through the exhibition case back is a distinctively skeletonized rotor, finished in blue, adorned with Côtes de Genève striping, and mounted on an efficient ball bearing system. The dial presents an intricate, 42-part construction arranged across two levels. The base level features a galvanic black surface, providing a dark background that enhances the layered components above. The upper level includes screwed-on skeletonized train wheel bridges, a defining characteristic of the "open gear" design, alongside a funnel-like structure framing the hour display and the retrograde seconds mechanism. Time indication is achieved through off-centre hours positioned at 12:00, central minutes, and the prominent retrograde seconds display situated at 6:00. Hands are executed in the "Trigono" shape, lacquered, and feature Super-LumiNova inlays and tips for low-light visibility, complementing the cylinder-shaped Super-LumiNova hour indexes. The watch is secured to the wrist via a hand-sewn textile strap made from durable Cordura material, fastened with a folding clasp. This model is a limited production run, restricted to only 50 units worldwide.
