Quick TakeThis ReSec Obsidian isn't just telling time; it's projecting an attitude straight from the forge where shadow meets luxury. Chronoswiss truly leaned into the "Born in Darkness" concept, giving us a watch that feels both tough and opulent. The glossy black DLC on the Grade 5 titanium case is like a stealth bomber's skin, perfectly contrasted by the warm glow of the 18ct red gold bezel and crown – it’s a visual handshake between high-tech materials and classic precious metal. That hand-guilloched dial is mesmerizing, the galvanic black finish sucking you into its depths while the unique layout keeps you engaged. Off-center hours up top, central minutes doing their sweep, and that fantastic retrograde seconds hand snapping back at 6 o'clock – it's a dynamic performance on your wrist. Driving this dark horse is the Manufacture Calibre C.6005, a serious piece of engineering visible through the back, complete with its tungsten rotor and meticulous finishing. Limited to just 100 pieces, wearing the Obsidian feels like being part of an exclusive club that appreciates bold design and in-house mechanics. It's a statement piece that whispers sophistication while hinting at a rebellious streak.

DescriptionThe Chronoswiss ReSec Obsidian Manufacture, reference CH-6925T.1R-BKGO, is presented as a limited edition series, restricted to 100 individual units. Its intricate case construction comprises 17 separate components, fabricated primarily from Grade 5 titanium, which undergoes both grinding and polishing processes. This specific reference features a glossy black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating applied to the titanium case body. Augmenting the case are elements crafted from 18-carat red gold, specifically the polished bezel which incorporates partial knurling, the lower decorative bezel, and the characteristic onion-shaped crown. Protection for the dial is provided by a curved sapphire crystal featuring double anti-reflective coatings. The case back is a screw-down type, ensuring structural integrity and water resistance, finished with a satin texture and fitted with a sapphire crystal exhibition window. Strap attachment is secured via screwed-down strap holders. The dimensional specifications indicate a case diameter of 42 millimeters, a height of 14.2 millimeters, and a lug width of 22 millimeters. Water resistance is rated up to 10 bar, equivalent to 100 meters. The display configuration deviates from traditional layouts, presenting off-center hours positioned at the 12 o'clock mark, centrally mounted minutes, and retrograde seconds located at the 6 o'clock position.

Powering this instrument is the Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C. 6005, an automatic movement with a diameter of 33 millimeters. This mechanism operates at a frequency of 4 Hertz, corresponding to 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour (A/h), and incorporates 31 jewels within its architecture. The balance wheel is a three-legged Glucydur design, paired with a Nivarox 1 balance spring. Fine timekeeping adjustments are facilitated via an Exzenter mechanism, and the movement is equipped with Incabloc shock protection. When fully wound, the caliber provides a power reserve of approximately 55 hours. Notable technical features include a skeletonized rotor constructed from tungsten for winding efficiency, utilizing a ball bearing system. Critical components such as the armature, escape wheel, and screws are polished. Further finishing details include bridges adorned with a Geneva cut pattern and plated with ruthenium for enhanced durability and aesthetic appeal. The dial exhibits a complex, three-dimensional construction featuring a hand-executed guilloche pattern finished with a galvanic black coating. Ceramic material is utilized for the indexes, which are treated with Super-LumiNova for low-light legibility. The hands are designed in the "New Dauphine" shape. Completing the timepiece is a strap made from rubber.
