Chronoswiss takes its Strike Two outdoors: Terra has a lasered brown dial, Highland a green one that shifts colour.
Chronoswiss today introduces the Strike Two Terra and the Strike Two Highland, each limited to 100 pieces. They follow the family’s debut at Watches & Wonders 2024 and build on the ’90s Chronoswiss Tora and its horizontal regulator layout.
Terra’s dial is lasered and PVD-coated in brown, a textured surface the brand says evokes the Earth’s terrains. Highland’s green dial, made with CVD coating and vertical satinage, changes hue with every movement, recalling the rolling hills and moors of the Scottish Highlands.
Both share a 3D regulator layout. Hours sit at 3 o’clock on an open gear between two vertical bridges. Central minutes and a hand-guillochéd small seconds at 9 o’clock complete it, made in-house at the Chronoswiss Atelier in Lucerne. The stainless steel case is 40mm across and 12.7mm high.
Inside is the new manufacture Calibre C.6000, developed with La Joux-Perret, with 55 hours of power reserve, a skeletonised tungsten rotor and a ruthenium-plated bridge with radial Côtes de Genève.
Chronoswiss says the visible gearwork and the guillochéd small seconds show the precision of handcraft, while the thematic designs connect each watch to the beauty of our world.
