Commentary

Chronoswiss celebrates their 40th anniversary in style (our opinion) with the release of their most iconic chronograph – the Opus in titanium.

The colours chosen are also interesting, as the blue is usually hot wiht the collector crowd, but also in a vivid green which is the favourite colour of founder Gred Lang. Gerd would use green ink on his green fountain pen, and was quite a character who loved both the chronograph as a medium of horological expression, as well as vintage motor cars.

Gerd, sadly passed away earlier this year at 80 years old. We think it is a rather nice tribute to him that the green edition is also known as the Racing version.

These watches are not new, but now issued in a titanium case, and using the same C.741S, a Valojoux chronograph. The bridges of the movement are galvanised black.

Pricing wise, we think this is a competitive offering, at just a tad below CHF 14k, even with a regular chronograph without an open worked dial. But with the iconic Chronoswiss Opus dial skeletonising, this tips the scale to be quite a bit more attractive.
