Quick TakeThis Open Gear ReSec isn't just blue, it's Electric Blue – a jolt of CVD-coated energy wrapped around your wrist. Forget subtle; the 44mm case demands attention, a stage for Chronoswiss's mechanical theatre. The regulator layout puts time on display differently, with that hypnotic retrograde seconds hand snapping back at 6 o'clock and the hour wheel visibly turning up top thanks to the "open gear" feature. It's a 42-part dial puzzle box revealing hand-guilloche depth beneath imposing, skeletonized bridges. Inside, the Caliber C.301 automatic hums away, visible through the back like a secret engine room, complete with a blue skeletonized rotor performing the Cotes de Geneve dance on its ball bearing pivot. Strapped on with the tactile Hornback crocodile leather, it feels both technically advanced and daringly stylish. Being one of only 50 examples elevates it beyond a simple watch; it's practically an entry ticket into an exclusive circle dedicated to appreciating bold mechanical artistry. It's unmistakably Chronoswiss: vibrant, technical, and utterly captivating.

DescriptionThe timepiece designated CH-6926-BLSI, known as the Open Gear ReSec Electric Blue, features a case constructed from stainless steel treated with a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) coating rendering it in an Electric Blue hue. The case assembly comprises 17 distinct components. Dimensional specifications measure 44 millimeters in diameter and 13.35 millimeters in height. The case surface exhibits a combination of finishes, incorporating both polished sections and areas with a vertical satin finish, contributing to its visual complexity. A prominent onion-style crown is fitted for time-setting and winding operations. Secure closure is achieved via a screw-down case back, which features a satin finish and incorporates a sapphire crystal exhibition window allowing observation of the internal movement. Water ingress protection is rated at 10 bar, equivalent to a depth of 100 meters. The bezel is also of a screw-down design, featuring a polished surface, a full thread engagement, and distinctive side knurling for grip. Protecting the dial is a curved sapphire crystal, enhanced with a double anti-reflective coating to maximize legibility under various lighting conditions. The lug width accommodates a strap measuring 22 millimeters. This specific model variant is produced in a strictly limited series of only 50 units worldwide, enhancing its exclusivity.

Powering the CH-6926-BLSI is the Chronoswiss Caliber C.301, an automatic mechanical movement. This caliber operates at a standard frequency of 4 Hz, equating to 28,800 alternations per hour (A/h), ensuring consistent timekeeping accuracy. The movement provides a power reserve of approximately 42 hours when fully wound. Its architecture incorporates 33 functional jewels to minimize friction at critical points. Examination of the movement through the case back reveals specific finishing details: the pallet lever, escape wheel, and associated screws are polished to a high standard. Additionally, the bridges and plates are decorated with a perlage (circular graining) pattern. A key visual element of the movement is its skeletonized rotor, finished in a matching blue color, adorned with traditional Cotes de Geneve striping, and mounted on an efficient ball bearing system. The dial architecture is notably intricate, constructed from 42 individual parts arranged across two distinct levels. The base level showcases meticulous hand-guilloche engraving. The upper level features structurally significant, screwed-on skeletonized train wheel bridges, alongside a uniquely engineered funnel-like construction framing the hour display. This level also houses the retrograde seconds display mechanism and applied, cylinder-shaped indexes filled with Super-LumiNova for luminescence. The time display adopts the regulator configuration: off-center hours are indicated in a subdial at the 12 o'clock position, explicitly featuring the "open gear" design element; minutes are displayed centrally via a dedicated hand; and seconds are presented through a retrograde indicator situated at the 6 o'clock position, which sweeps across an arc before instantaneously returning to zero. The hands are of the "Trigono" shape, are lacquered, and incorporate Super-LumiNova inlays and tips for enhanced readability in dim conditions. The timepiece is paired with a hand-sewn Hornback crocodile leather strap, fastened with a folding clasp mechanism for security and convenience.
