Quick TakeStrap this slice of the cosmos onto your wrist and prepare for launch! The Chronoswiss Space Timer Deep Space isn't just telling time; it's narrating an interstellar saga. That deep blue CVD case isn't merely colored steel; it's a chunk of captured night sky, housing a dial that's pure celestial theatre. You've got hand-guilloché waves rippling like gravitational fields around a laser-etched Jupiter and its fiery moon, Io – a tiny, mesmerizing solar system ticking away. Forget boring hour hands; the off-center display at 12 with its "Open Gear" lets you peek into the mechanical heart, while the moonphase below isn't just a complication, it's a tiny titanium world glowing with lume. Speaking of lume, those big ceramic-lume cylinders marking the minutes and the glowing hands are like navigation beacons in the void. Even the date uses tiny steel spheres, like miniature planets orbiting the dial. It's complex, sure – 63 dial parts, a 17-piece case – but it all comes together with a bold, adventurous spirit. Turning it over reveals the C.308 movement through the sapphire back, its blue CVD rotor swirling like a distant galaxy. Limited to just 50 pieces, wearing this isn't just checking the time, it's joining an exclusive mission into horological deep space.

DescriptionThe Chronoswiss Space Timer Deep Space, reference CH-9346.2-BLBL, utilizes a complex case architecture composed of 17 individual solid stainless steel components. This specific iteration features a distinctive Blue Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) coating applied over the stainless steel base, providing enhanced surface hardness and a unique aesthetic finish. Partial knurling is applied to sections of the case body, contributing to its tactile and visual profile. Protecting the dial is a curved sapphire crystal, treated with a double anti-reflective coating to maximize legibility under various lighting conditions. The exhibition case back also employs sapphire crystal, secured via screws and featuring a satin finish, allowing observation of the internal mechanism. An onion-style crown facilitates winding and setting operations. Water resistance is rated at 10 bar, equivalent to a depth of 100 meters, ensuring protection against water ingress during typical surface water activities. The strap attachment points utilize Chronoswiss' patented Autobloc system, employing screwed-down strap holders for enhanced security. Dimensional specifications measure 44 millimeters in diameter and 15.2 millimeters in height, with a lug width of 22 millimeters and a lug-to-lug distance measuring 53.5 millimeters, establishing a significant wrist presence. The overall construction reflects a robust engineering approach focused on durability and intricate assembly, aligning with the demands of a high-specification timepiece intended for discerning collectors and emphasizing its limited production status of only 50 units worldwide.

Powering the reference CH-9346.2-BLBL is the Chronoswiss Kaliber C.308, an automatic mechanical movement with a diameter of 32.8 millimeters. This caliber incorporates 33 jewels to minimize friction at critical points within the gear train and escapement, enhancing longevity and operational efficiency. It operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, which translates to 28,800 alternations per hour (A/h), contributing to the smooth sweep of the central seconds hand and maintaining timekeeping precision. The movement is equipped with an Incabloc shock protection system, safeguarding the delicate balance wheel assembly against impacts. Upon being fully wound, the mainspring provides an approximate power reserve of 42 hours. Notable finishing details applied to the movement components include polished surfaces on the pallet lever, escape wheel, and various screws. The bridges and plates are decorated with perlage, a pattern of overlapping small circles. The rotor, responsible for automatic winding, is skeletonized and features a Blue CVD coating matching the case, adorned with Côtes de Genève striping and mounted on a ball bearing system for efficient winding performance. The dial construction is exceptionally intricate, involving 63 separate parts. For the Deep Space model, it combines hand-guilloché techniques with laser-printed elements depicting Jupiter and Io. Skeletonized train wheel bridges exhibit angled and polished edges, alongside vertical satin finishing and sandblasted textures. Time indication utilizes an off-center hour display at the 12 o'clock position featuring the "Open Gear" mechanism, alongside central minute and second hands. A moonphase display is positioned at 6 o'clock, utilizing a thermally colored titanium hemisphere with Super-LumiNova detailing for the moon and stars. Indications for the hour and date are partly skeletonized and constructed from transparent, polished, colored ITR2 material. Minute indication relies on massive cylinders composed of a Super-LumiNova and ceramic mixture. Date indication employs minute stainless steel balls (0.6mm diameter) mounted within the ITR2 structure. The hands are rhodium-plated with a matte finish, featuring Super-LumiNova inlays and tips for low-light visibility, executed in a "Blade" shape. The strap specified is hand-sewn blue Hornback alligator leather.
