Thirty years after the debut of the original Opus, Chronoswiss takes its open-worked chronograph into new territory with the Opus Dakar. This anniversary edition is inspired by the quiet intensity of the desert with its shifting light, its timeless stillness, and its palette of warm, earthy tones. It is a celebration of endurance, both mechanical and elemental, grounded in the beauty of simplicity.
The 41mm case is crafted from Grade 5 titanium, a material chosen for its strength and lightness. Beneath the CVD-coated brown skeleton dial, the movement’s geometry plays with depth and shadow, while the sand-colored nubuck strap ties the design together with understated texture.
Inside, the Chronoswiss C.741S automatic chronograph beats with precision and purpose. The fully skeletonized movement reveals every gear and bridge, framed by familiar hallmarks like the onion crown and knurled bezel. It is a continuation of the 1995 Opus legacy, updated through modern materials and refined restraint.
