Chronoswiss’s Neo Digiteur Chronos, launched this year, was one of the highlights for the brand as well as for jumping-hour watches. Crafted in 18-karat gold, it caught attention with its artistic case and jumping-hour complication. Now, building on the same line, Chronoswiss brings three fun, pastel Neo Digiteur watches, all limited editions of 99 pieces each.
The three new references include the Neo Digiteur Rose (Ref. CH-1373.2-LR), Mint (Ref. CH-1373.2-LG), and Sky (Ref. CH-1373.2-LB), featuring dials in pastel pink, pastel green, and pastel blue, respectively. Moreover, to obtain the matte finish on the dials, they are treated with a special sandblasting technique, followed by a lacquer treatment to add depth.
Featuring the dials in soft hues certainly makes them contemporary; however, the watches retain their tailored stainless steel rectangular cases measuring 48 mm x 30 mm, sharp architecture, and the onion-shaped crown at 3 o’clock. The jumping-hour complication also follows the line’s signature design. There’s a small window for the jumping hour at 12 o’clock, a curved window in the centre for the sweeping minutes, and sweeping seconds at the 6 o’clock position.
From their name and display, they might look like digital pieces, albeit the watches are powered by the hand-wound Chronoswiss Caliber C.85757, decorated with a Côtes de Genève finish. The movement is equipped with a proprietary in-house module developed by the brand, beats at 3 Hz, and boasts a power reserve of about 48 hours.
The watches are water-resistant to 50 metres and are completed with grey or black premium textile straps.
