Quick TakeForget your standard sweep seconds; the ReSec Classic CH-8783-BK brings a bit of mechanical theatre right to your wrist. That retrograde seconds hand at six o'clock doesn't just tick – it performs. Watching it arc across its scale and then instantly snap back to zero is a small, repeating joy throughout the day. Set against the deep galvanic black dial, with its mesmerizing guilloche patterns catching the light, the whole display feels alive. Chronoswiss didn't skimp on the details, pairing this visual treat with a seriously solid stainless steel case and that robust matching bracelet; it feels engineered, purposeful. Inside, the Caliber C. 302 keeps things reliably ticking away, visible through the back if you need a reminder of the craft involved. It’s a watch that balances traditional decoration with a slightly unconventional, dynamic way of showing time, perfect for someone who appreciates classic looks but wants a little something extra under the crystal.

DescriptionThe CH-8783-BK model utilizes a stainless steel case construction measuring 41 mm in diameter and 12.7 mm in height. Case finishing involves a combination of partly polished and partly vertical satin-finished surfaces, extending to the characteristic onion crown. A polished screw-down bezel, notable for its full threading and side knurling, secures a curved sapphire crystal treated with a double anti-reflective coating. Ensuring structural integrity and access for maintenance, the case back is a screw-down type with a satin finish, incorporating a sapphire crystal display window. Water resistance is rated at 10 bar, equivalent to 100 meters, suitable for surface water activities. The lug interface accommodates a band width of 21 mm, integrating seamlessly with the provided stainless steel bracelet. This bracelet, a notable feature, is designed for durability and comfort, complementing the overall classic aesthetic of the timepiece.

Powering the watch is the Chronoswiss Caliber C. 302, an automatic movement operating at a frequency of 4 Hz, or 28,800 alternations per hour. This movement provides a power reserve of approximately 42 hours when fully wound and incorporates 27 jewels to minimize friction and wear. Movement finishing includes polished surfaces on the pallet lever, escape wheel, and screws, while the bridges and plates feature perlage decoration. The rotor, responsible for automatic winding, is rhodium-plated, engraved, features Côtes de Genève striping, and utilizes a ball bearing system for efficiency. The dial is fabricated from galvanic black material, featuring intricate guilloche detailing and scales enhanced with circular-graining. Time indication comprises central hours and minutes, alongside the distinctive retrograde seconds display positioned at the 6 o'clock location. The "Trigono" shaped hands are lacquered and incorporate Super-LumiNova inlays for low-light legibility. The high-end stainless steel bracelet is secured by a folding clasp mechanism.
