Quick TakeForget subtle time-telling; this Chronoswiss Flying Regulator Jumping Hour is a stage for horological theatre! That instant digital jump of the hour at 12 o'clock is pure mechanical drama, a satisfying click that marks time's passage with authority. It contrasts brilliantly with the smooth sweep of the off-centre minute hand against that incredible blue guilloche lower dial. Speaking of the dial, it's not just a surface, it's architecture. The multi-level construction, with the upper elements perched on plinths, gives it this amazing depth, like looking into a miniature engine room. The orange accents against the deep blue and steel case? Bold choice, absolutely electric. It’s powered by the robust Caliber C. 283, a reliable automatic heart beating at a brisk 4 Hz, visible through the back if you need a reminder of the intricate mechanics at play. It's a watch with serious personality – technical, visually complex, and utterly captivating.

DescriptionThe timepiece designated CH-8323-BLOR incorporates a multi-component stainless steel case construction. Dimensional parameters are specified as 40 mm for the diameter and 11.85 mm for the height, facilitating compatibility with a 20 mm band width. Case finishing involves a combination of polished surfaces and areas with a vertical satin finish. A characteristic onion-style crown is utilized for winding and setting functions. Securing the case integrity, a screw-down bezel, notable for its polished finish, side knurling, and full threading, is employed. The case back is also of a screw-down design, featuring a satin finish and integrating a flat sapphire crystal for viewing the internal mechanism. Water resistance is rated at 3 bar, equivalent to a depth of approximately 30 meters, providing protection against incidental water exposure. The overall case architecture consists of 28 individual parts.

Powering the CH-8323-BLOR is the Caliber C. 283 automatic movement, which operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, corresponding to 28,800 alternations per hour (A/h). This self-winding mechanism provides an approximate power reserve of 42 hours when fully wound and incorporates 28 jewels to minimize friction at critical points. Movement finishing includes nickel-plated bridges adorned with circular graining and spiral offsets. The rotor, visible through the case back, is rhodium-plated, features skeletonization and engraving, exhibits Geneva Stripes decoration, and is mounted on a ball bearing system for efficient winding. Time indication is executed via a digital jumping hour displayed in an aperture at the 12 o'clock position, supplemented by an off-centre minute display and a small seconds sub-dial located at 6 o'clock. This display arrangement is presented on an elaborate, two-level dial construction. The foundational level is galvanised and features a signature guilloche pattern, while the upper dial level possesses a satin finish and is mounted on screwed plinths, creating a distinct three-dimensional effect. Hands are rhodium-plated, curved, and diamond-cut, with the minute hand being manually bent into shape. The hand design follows the "Feuille" style. The watch is fitted with a hand-sewn Louisiana alligator leather strap, secured by either a pin buckle or a folding clasp.
