Chronoswiss found the colour of the Delphis Dune in the desert: an amber Grand Feu enamel over red gold, set in titanium.
Chronoswiss today introduces the Delphis Dune, limited to 50 pieces. The brand says it draws on endless dunes, and that the enamel reflects the shifting sands and ever-changing scenery of the desert.
The enamel is applied in seven fine layers on a hand-guilloché 18ct red gold dial in the Atelier Lucerne. It sets the stage for the retrograde minute and jumping hour complication. The hour is digital at 12 o’clock, the minute is central and the small seconds sit at 6 o’clock.
The case is 42mm Grade 5 titanium, a lightweight yet durable frame, Chronoswiss says, for the sandy hues of the dial. Inside is the manufacture Calibre C.6004, with 55 hours of power reserve. Chronoswiss says the combination makes the watch both durable and captivating.
Chronoswiss says the watch captures the spirit of exploration and discovery.
