Commentary

Ba111od takes their chronometer certified Chapter 7 to a playful level with summer colours on the dial. The Chapter 7 is available in either regular configuration without chronometer certification, or with.

But for this new release, Ba111od chose the chronometer certified models, which carry a small premium for the trouble they take to ensure compliance, but also in the certification fee.

Featuring three colours in fushsia, turquoise and yellow, these become fun summery colours. The Chapter 7 has already created waves within the industry for allowing access to a chronometer certified movement below the CHF 1k mark.

The watch is 100m water resistant, good for the sun, beach, surf. And remains very wearable in the 40mm black PVD case.

Release details

Acclaimed at watch fairs, praised by the press for its perfect balance between design, performance, and price, and already widely adopted by the public, the BA111OD Chapter 7 Certified Chronometer has established itself as one of this spring’s highlights. To celebrate the most beautiful of seasons, it returns in a brand-new capsule collection — the Summer Edition 2025 — blending watchmaking excellence with the spirit of escape. Conceived as an ode to summer and that delightful carefree feeling that only sunshine can offer, the collection unveils three vibrant limited editions: fuchsia, turquoise, and yellow. With its 40 mm black PVD case — a unisex size designed to fit every wrist —, 100-meter water resistance, and a Swiss chronometer-certified movement by Geneva’s Timelab Observatory, this timepiece is a summer essential, remaining true to its primary mission: delivering uncompromising precision from sunrise to sunset.

Between deep black and summer brightness: BA111OD’s Chapter 7 Chronometer Summer Edition revealed

The Chapter 7 Chronometer Summer Edition comes in three bold, radiant colors: flamboyant fuchsia, refreshing turquoise, and vibrant solar yellow. With 100-meter water resistance, each watch features a black PVD case that accentuates the bright tones of its dial.

Every model is delivered with two interchangeable rubber straps: one in classic black, and one matching the dial color, offering two versatile looks to suit any mood or occasion. A version fitted with a black PVD stainless steel bracelet is also available for a more urban and sophisticated style.

This striking contrast between vivid colors and deep black evokes sunny days, lakeside escapes, and the vibrant energy unique to summer. “Born on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel, BA111OD draws its energy from this unique setting where nature and clarity intertwine. With the Chapter 7 Summer Edition, we wanted to translate this harmony into a timepiece that is elegant, bold, and unmistakably summery — a watch designed to elevate every moment under the sun,” shares Thomas Baillod, founder of the watchmaking House.

The official launch of the collection takes place during the BA111OD Summer Party, held in partnership with the Neuchâtel Ski Nautique Club, of which BA111OD is now an official partner.

Certified Swiss precision

Beneath its summery and colorful appearance, the Chapter 7 Summer Edition houses an exceptional example of Swiss watchmaking: a Swiss chronometer-certified movement tested and approved by the renowned Geneva Chronometry Observatory – Timelab. This certification guarantees outstanding accuracy between -4 and +6 seconds per day, far exceeding the standards of traditional mechanical watches.

“This certification reflects our pursuit of excellence and our commitment to offering the very best to our clients,” emphasizes Thomas Baillod, founder of the Neuchâtel-based brand. Each movement is individually tested and adjusted, strengthened to withstand temperature variations, shocks, and magnetic fields — ensuring top performance in any condition.

Elegant design meets summer spirit

The Chapter 7 Summer Edition features a 40 mm black PVD stainless steel case, a unisex size that wears elegantly on any wrist. Its 10-sided faceted bezel, alternating brushed and polished finishes, creates a refined and dynamic structure where each edge catches the light beautifully. The sunray dial reinforces the timepiece’s luminous personality and strong summer character.

Available in Flamboyant Fuchsia, Refreshing Turquoise, and Radiant Solar Yellow, each model comes with two rubber straps — one black and one matching the dial color — or can be selected with a black PVD stainless steel bracelet for a more refined aesthetic.

The date at 3 o’clock and the off-center crown at 4 o’clock — a rare and distinctive signature of BA111OD complete this stylish yet high-performing watch.
