Quick TakeThis Chronoswiss Classic Regulator isn't just telling time; it's making a statement about appreciating mechanics and distinct design. Forget your standard three-hander; this piece separates out the hours, minutes, and seconds, giving each its own stage like soloists in an orchestra. The galvanic grey dial with those contrasting black, guilloched subdials has a serious, almost industrial chic vibe, but the polished bezel and onion crown inject a dose of classic elegance. It's like wearing a piece of precision engineering that just happens to look fantastic. Running on the C. 295 automatic movement, you get that smooth 4 Hz sweep and a decent 42-hour power reserve – solid specs for a watch that's clearly focused on its unique display. The updated stainless steel bracelet ties the sporty-elegant look together perfectly, and knowing it can handle 100 meters of water resistance means it's ready for more than just desk diving. It's a conversation starter for those who know watches, appreciating the history and function behind the regulator layout.

DescriptionThis timepiece, reference CH-8773-GRBK, utilizes a case constructed from stainless steel, measuring 41 millimeters in diameter and 12.7 millimeters in height. The case incorporates both polished and vertically satin-finished surfaces, contributing to its dynamic appearance. A distinctive onion-style crown is present. Securing the case back is a screw-down design, featuring a satin finish and an integrated sapphire crystal exhibition window, allowing visual access to the internal mechanism. The bezel, also crafted from stainless steel, is polished and employs a screw-down configuration with a full thread and characteristic side knurling. Protecting the dial is a curved sapphire crystal treated with a double anti-reflective coating to enhance legibility under various lighting conditions. Water resistance is rated at 10 bar, equivalent to a depth of 100 meters, ensuring suitability for surface water activities. The lug width is specified at 21 millimeters, accommodating the included high-end stainless steel bracelet, noted for its new design, which fastens with a folding clasp.

Powering the Regulator Classic is the automatic Caliber C. 295 movement. This mechanism operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, which translates to 28,800 alternations per hour (A/h), providing a smooth sweep for the time-indicating hands. The movement incorporates 27 jewels to minimize friction at critical points, contributing to its longevity and accuracy. When fully wound, it offers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. Examination of the movement's finishing reveals polished surfaces on the pallet lever, escape wheel, and screws. The bridges and plates are decorated with perlage, a pattern of small, overlapping circles. Further embellishment includes an engraved black rotor, adorned with Côtes de Genève striping and mounted on a ball bearing for efficient winding. The dial itself is galvanic grey with a matte texture. Contrasting black scales feature circular graining. Within the subdials for hours and seconds, the interior sections are black and detailed with intricate guilloche patterns. Time indication follows the regulator format: off-centre hours are displayed in a subdial at the 12 o'clock position, the central hand indicates minutes, and a small seconds subdial is positioned at 6 o'clock. The hands are rhodium-plated and lacquered, designed in the "Trigono" shape, and feature Super-LumiNova inlays for low-light visibility.
