As Chronoswiss marks its 40th anniversary, the Opus Titanium arrives as both a celebration and a reminder of the brand’s role in reshaping modern mechanical watchmaking. First introduced in 1995, the Opus earned its place in horological history as the first serially produced self winding skeletonized chronograph, a daring move that challenged conventions and helped reignite enthusiasm for visibly mechanical timepieces.
The latest evolution brings the Opus into sharper focus through grade 5 titanium cases that deliver impressive lightness and everyday comfort. Paired with newly developed green and blue dials, finished with CVD coating for a metallic sheen, the watch feels contemporary without losing its technical gravitas. The open architecture continues to draw the eye inward, offering a clear view of the chronograph’s functional complexity while enhancing legibility and depth.
Powering these new models is the C.741S caliber, a Valjoux based integrated chronograph with galvanic black skeletonized bridges that underscore Chronoswiss’ commitment to mechanical honesty. As CEO Oliver Ebstein notes, the Opus Titanium represents both innovation and continuity. Four decades on, it stands as a refined expression of a watch that once challenged the status quo and still feels relevant today.
