Quick TakeDive headfirst into the hypnotic blue depths of the ReSec Vertical Blue Manufacture! This isn't your average time-teller; it's a statement piece pulsing with mechanical ingenuity, wrapped in space-age cool. That Grade 5 titanium case feels impossibly light, almost floating on the wrist despite its confident 42mm stance. Forget traditional seconds hands ticking predictably around – the retrograde display at six o'clock snaps back with satisfying precision every minute, a constant reminder of the intricate C.6005 Manufacture movement working tirelessly within. The dial is pure visual theatre: vertical Côtes de Genève stripes ripple under a vibrant blue CVD coating, creating a dynamic backdrop for the off-center hours and skeletonized 'New Dauphine' hands. It blends Chronoswiss heritage – peep the knurled bezel and onion crown – with a forward-thinking design language. Limited to just 100 pieces, wearing this ReSec feels like being part of an exclusive club that appreciates both technical prowess and audacious style. It's a watch that doesn't just tell time; it performs it with flair.

DescriptionThe timepiece designated with Reference CH-6923T.1-BL, known as the ReSec Vertical Blue Manufacture, is a limited production model restricted to 100 units. Its architecture centers around a robust yet lightweight case meticulously fabricated from Grade 5 titanium. This complex structure consists of 17 individual components, subjected to both grinding and polishing processes to achieve its specified finish. The case dimensions are precisely defined: a diameter of 42 millimeters, a height of 14.2 millimeters, and a lug width measuring 22 millimeters, ensuring compatibility with standard strap sizes. Enhancing its aesthetic and functional profile is a polished bezel incorporating sections of partial knurling, a signature tactile and visual element. Protection for the dial is provided by a curved sapphire crystal featuring a double anti-reflective coating to maximize legibility under various lighting conditions. Water resistance is rated at 10 bar, equivalent to a depth of 100 meters, facilitated by a screw-down case back and an onion-style crown. The case back itself features a satin finish and incorporates a sapphire crystal insert, allowing visual inspection of the internal mechanism. Structural integrity is further reinforced by strap holders that are securely screwed down to the case body. This comprehensive engineering approach ensures durability and resilience suitable for regular wear while maintaining specific dimensional parameters. The use of Titanium Grade 5 contributes significantly to the watch's reduced overall mass compared to steel equivalents, without compromising structural strength or resistance to environmental factors like corrosion.

Powering the ReSec Vertical Blue Manufacture is the Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C.6005, an automatic movement developed in-house. This mechanical heart operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, translating to 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour (A/h), a standard for contemporary precision timekeeping. The caliber has a diameter of 33 millimeters and incorporates 31 jewels to minimize friction at critical points within the gear train and escapement. Its balance wheel is a three-legged Glucydur component, chosen for its stability across temperature variations, paired with a Nivarox 1 balance spring, known for its anti-magnetic properties and consistent performance. Fine timing adjustments are executed via an eccentric mechanism ('über Exzenter'). Reliability is bolstered by the Incabloc shock protection system, safeguarding the delicate balance assembly against impacts. The movement boasts a power reserve of approximately 55 hours when fully wound. Visible through the sapphire case back are several specialized features: a skeletonized rotor crafted from tungsten for efficient winding, supported by a ball bearing system. Key components such as the armature, escape wheel, and various screws undergo a polishing process. Furthermore, the bridges are decorated with a Geneva cut (Côtes de Genève) pattern and finished with a ruthenium plating, adding a layer of visual sophistication and corrosion resistance to the caliber's technical specifications. The time display is unconventionally arranged: hours are shown on an off-center subdial positioned at 12 o'clock, minutes are indicated by a central hand, and seconds are presented via a retrograde display spanning an arc at the 6 o'clock position. The dial exhibits a complex, three-dimensional construction featuring a vertical Côte de Genève pattern enhanced by a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) coating in blue. Ceramic is used for the indexes, which, along with the hands, are treated with Super-LumiNova for low-light visibility. The hands themselves are skeletonized brass, designed in the distinctive 'New Dauphine' shape. A rubber strap completes the ensemble.
