Chronoswiss borrows its cue from the Tora, a watch it built in the 1990s. The Strike Two Stellar Blue takes that spirit into its darkest dial yet, a deep blue cut in radiating straight lines.
Chronoswiss today introduces the Strike Two Stellar Blue, limited to 100 pieces. A matte grey, sandblasted steel case gives the watch its darkest silhouette in the line so far.
The dial is hand-guillochéd in radiating straight lines, in a deep blue under CVD coating. A silver, rhodium-plated small seconds at 9 o’clock adds contrast, while the floating hour display at 3 o’clock reads through an open gear between two bridges.
Inside is the manufacture Calibre C.6000, its tungsten rotor skeletonised and its bridge ruthenium-plated with a radial Côtes de Genève finish, for 55 hours of power reserve. For Chronoswiss, the Strike Two remains a return to its own history: the horizontal regulator it first built in the 1990s, worked now in a colder, darker register.
