Quick TakeAlright, let's talk about the Strike Two Golden Gear. This isn't your grandpa's regulator watch, that's for sure! Chronoswiss throws convention out the window with this horizontal layout. Your eyes are immediately drawn to that open gear setup at 3 o'clock, flanked by those unmissable vertical bridges – it’s like a little mechanical stage right on the dial. The golden gears against the dark grey, vertically brushed background? Chef's kiss. It gives off this cool, slightly industrial vibe but keeps it classy with the polished steel case, that signature fluted bezel detail, and the elegant Feuille hands. Inside, the C.6000 manufacture movement isn't just functional; it's putting on a show, visible through the back and partially from the front. Running at a modern 4Hz beat with a solid 55-hour power reserve, it’s got the guts to back up the looks. Being one of only 100 makes it feel even more special, like you're in on a well-kept secret shared only by those who appreciate bold design and serious watchmaking. It's a piece that definitely doesn't blend into the background.

DescriptionThe Chronoswiss Strike Two, reference CH-5023-ANGO, designated "Golden Gear," is presented as a limited production model, restricted to 100 units. Its structural foundation is a solid 17-part stainless steel case, subjected to meticulous ground and polished finishing techniques. The case measures 40 mm in diameter and 12.7 mm in height, with a lug width specification of 22 mm. Water resistance is rated at 3 bar, equivalent to 30 meters, ensuring protection against incidental water contact. A distinctive polished bezel incorporates a fluted decorative ring applied laterally. Protecting the dial is a domed sapphire crystal treated with double anti-reflective coatings to maximize legibility under various lighting conditions. Case integrity is further maintained by a screwed, satin-finished case back, also fitted with a sapphire crystal for movement observation, and features such as screwed strap links and the characteristic onion-style crown. The dial configuration employs a horizontal regulator layout, displaying hours decentrally at the 3 o'clock position through an open gear mechanism supported by two prominent vertical bridges. Central hands indicate the minutes, while subsidiary seconds are displayed at the 9 o'clock position. The Golden Gear variant features a lower dial level finished with vertical satinage, complementing the hand-guilloché main dial surface. Visibility in low light is aided by the application of Super-LumiNova to the indexes.

Powering the Strike Two Golden Gear is the Chronoswiss manufacture caliber C. 6000, an automatic movement measuring 33 mm in diameter. This intricate mechanism operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, translating to 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour (A/h), providing a substantial power reserve of approximately 55 hours when fully wound. The movement incorporates 25 jewels to minimize friction at critical points. Precision is maintained through a Glucydur balance wheel of triangular design, paired with a Nivarox 1 balance spring, components chosen for their stability and resistance to temperature variations and magnetism. Fine regulation of the timing is achieved via an excenter mechanism. Durability is enhanced by the inclusion of an Incabloc shock protection system, safeguarding the delicate balance assembly against impacts. Aesthetic and technical refinements include a skeletonized rotor crafted from tungsten for efficient winding, supported by a ball bearing system. Key components such as the armature, escape wheel, and visible screws are polished to a high standard. The movement bridges feature a traditional Geneva cut (Côtes de Genève) pattern and are ruthenium plated, adding a sophisticated dark finish. Time indication is executed by "Feuille" shaped hands. The watch is typically supplied with a calfskin strap featuring an alligator embossing, though a rubber strap option is available.
