Chronoswiss made a significant mark on the watch industry by introducing their inaugural wristwatch featuring a regulator dial in 1987, a design element that has since become synonymous with their collections. Today, Chronoswiss remains dedicated to crafting a diverse selection of exceptional timepieces, in there commitment to harmonizing contemporary technology with craftsmanship techniques

The brand has recently unveiled two additions to its Delphis collection, the Chronoswiss Delphis Venture and the Delphis Paraiba, a balance between classic craftsmanship and avant-garde design.

These timepieces feature a case crafted from stainless steel, measuring 42mm in diameter and 14.5mm in thickness. They also include a polished, highly decorated onion crown under a polished screw-down bezel with a thin side knurling, along with a curved double-coated anti-reflective sapphire crystal.

The dial of the Delphis Venture displays a darker guilloché area in the upper section, while the dial of the Delphis Paraiba showcases a turquoise and green shift of colors with curved hand guilloché, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the watch face. Both watches feature a jumping hour window at 12 o’clock, central retrograde minute, and small seconds in a blue subdial for the Delphis Venture and a black subdial for the Delphis Paraiba. Rhodium-plated and skeletonized Viking-shaped hands.

These watches are powered by the new Automatic Manufacture Caliber C.6004, operating at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offering 55 hours of power reserve. An openworked rotor and components plated with ruthenium are showcased under the satin-finished screw-down case back.
