Chronoswiss is a sneaky brand! Nod off for too long, and there\u2019s a good chance that the Swiss independent will have released something intriguing. In today\u2019s case, there are two very different debuts in the Opus and Pulse lines. However, one trait or material exists as a common theme. Our favorite metal, gold, comes into play. While that means these pieces tend toward luxury-level pricing, they\u2019re worthy additions to the brand\u2019s already respectable catalog.<\/p>\n

The latest Chronoswiss<\/a> releases are a chronograph and a GMT. The former has a more traditional case design that longtime fans of the brand will instantly recognize. The latter uses the more modern styling we\u2019ve come to enjoy in the Pulse series. In my view, both are lovely and use solid gold as a medium quite effectively.<\/p>\n

The Chronoswiss Opus Dakar Sundown<\/p>\n

The first watch on today\u2019s docket is the Chronoswiss Opus Dakar Sundown. This one features a 41 \u00d7 14.8mm case comprised of 23 pieces. The mid-case and screw-in case back are crafted from stainless steel. By contrast, the bezel, characteristic onion crown, pump pushers, and inner tension ring are crafted from 21.4 grams of 18K pink gold. The watch has a water resistance rating of 50 meters and features a curved sapphire crystal. A sand-colored nubuck strap with a discreet push-button stainless steel folding clasp completes the package.<\/p>\n

In previous articles, we\u2019ve discussed open dials at length, and while these are currently very trendy, Chronoswiss has aptly delivered on this style for years. The Opus Dakar Sundown is a lovely example of how the brand blends traditional styling with modernity. The hands are decidedly old-world, but the brown details and CVD-plated movement exude a contemporary colorway deserving of the model\u2019s name. Four sub-dials display the running seconds, a 30-minute totalizer, the date, and a 12-hour counter.<\/p>\n

Caliber C.741S<\/p>\n

Chronoswiss uses the C.741S automatic movement, which is a highly modified ETA 7750. As mentioned before, it has been heavily enhanced with skeletonization and finishing. Details include a barely-there gold-plated rotor with C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve finishing, polished components, perlage, and galvanic black coating. Performance includes a 28,800vph frequency and a 46-hour power reserve. At \u20ac29,000, the Opus Dakar Sundown is definitely a luxurious option, but I find it much more interesting than most mainstream bicolor chronographs.

The Chronoswiss Pulse GMT Frosted Guilloch\u00e9 Gold<\/p>\n

Whereas the Opus Dakar Sundown represents the brand\u2019s historic designs, the new Pulse GMT Frosted Guilloch\u00e9 Gold is part of a more modern line. The Pulse debuted in early 2025 with an integrated bracelet. Today\u2019s model is the first to trade metal for rubber. Perhaps this is because the 41 \u00d7 46.27mm case is made from 48 grams of 5N gold. Besides, there\u2019s a full-gold model<\/a> with a different dial if additional heft is desired. Additionally, the watch has a 50m water resistance rating and a 13mm thickness.<\/p>\n

\"Chronoswiss<\/a><\/p>\n

Aside from the rubber strap, the defining characteristic of this model is its new dial. For the first time, Chronoswiss performs hand guilloch\u00e9 on the brass dial base and sandblasts the surface with fine corundum particles. This creates a sparkling finish while galvanic nickel adds the hue. It\u2019s a lovely result and definitely a different take on a desirable complication. What\u2019s more, there are now three Pulse GMT references, and each has a distinct dial surface design.<\/p>\n

\"Chronoswiss<\/a><\/p>\n

The proprietary automatic C.6002<\/p>\n

Chronoswiss partnered with La Joux-Perret to create the proprietary ruthenium-plated C.6002. This automatic caliber powers a central minutes and second display with two sub-dials. The left indicator has a 24-hour time scale for the traveler\u2019s destination. A corresponding right-side sub-dial shows home time. Often, brands attempt to reinvent the wheel on well-known complications, and it\u2019s not always successful. Here, Chronoswiss has created a legible, sensible take on the globetrotter\u2019s watch. Aside from this, the movement has a 55-hour power reserve and a 28,800vph frequency.<\/p>\n

\"Chronoswiss<\/a><\/p>\n

Unlike the earlier chronograph, the Pulse GMT Frosted Guilloch\u00e9 Gold is not a regular-production model. Chronoswiss<\/a> will produce 50 of these pieces, and each includes the individual reference on the dial. Of course, the gold content contributes heavily to the \u20ac46,500 price tag. Still, it\u2019s a lovely piece and one I\u2019d love to try on for size.<\/p>\n

Final thoughts<\/p>\n

With today\u2019s pair of new gold-toned pieces, Chronoswiss continues to add attractive watches to its portfolio. Yes, they\u2019re exclusive and perhaps not always cross-shopped against everyday names. But that\u2019s one reason why we enjoy watches. It\u2019s the small brands that bring variety and creativity when everything else starts to look similar. I happen to like both of these watches and find that Chronoswiss created two well-thought-out models. Let us know your thoughts on them in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
