Quick TakeForget subtle hints; the Kingfisher screams its mechanical heart out loud and proud! Chronoswiss absolutely nailed it with this Open Gear ReSec, reference CH-6923-BLOR. It's like they took a precision engine, splashed it with vibrant Kingfisher blues and oranges, and strapped it to your wrist. That hybrid dial isn't just a pretty face; it's the foundation, the stage where the C.301 automatic movement performs its intricate dance. You get the off-center hours peeking through the open gear construction at 12, the sweeping central minutes, and the pièce de résistance – that snappy retrograde seconds hand at 6 o'clock, flying back to zero every minute. It’s pure mechanical theatre! The hand-guilloché base layer adds a touch of classic elegance, contrasting beautifully with the modern, almost industrial vibe of the skeletonized bridges above. And with only 50 ever made, wearing this isn't just telling time; it's making a statement about appreciating intricate mechanics and bold design. The Cordura strap and robust 100m water resistance mean it's not just for show either; it’s ready for adventure, just like its namesake bird.

DescriptionThe Chronoswiss Open Gear ReSec Kingfisher, reference CH-6923-BLOR, utilizes a stainless steel case construction comprised of 17 individual parts. Its diameter measures 44 mm, with a height profile of 13.35 mm. The lug width specification is 22 mm, accommodating the designated strap. Case finishing incorporates both polished and vertically satin-brushed surfaces, creating visual contrast. An onion-style crown facilitates time-setting and winding operations. Securing the case integrity is a screw-down case back, featuring a satin finish and an integrated sapphire crystal for movement observation. Water resistance is rated at 10 bar, equivalent to a depth of 100 meters, ensuring protection against water ingress during typical aquatic activities excluding high-impact water sports. The bezel employs a polished, screw-down design characterized by a full thread and distinctive side knurling. Protection for the dial is provided by a curved sapphire crystal treated with a double anti-reflective coating to minimize glare and enhance legibility under various lighting conditions. The case architecture and material selection are engineered for durability and aesthetic appeal, reflecting established horological standards.

Powering the timepiece is the Caliber C.301 automatic movement, operating at a frequency of 4 Hz, which translates to 28,800 vibrations per hour (A/h). This self-winding mechanism provides a power reserve of approximately 42 hours when fully wound. The movement incorporates 33 jewels to reduce friction at critical points, enhancing longevity and operational smoothness. Finishing details within the caliber include a polished pallet lever, escape wheel, and screws, while the bridges and plates exhibit perlage decoration. The rotor, responsible for automatic winding, is skeletonized for visual interest, finished in orange, engraved with Geneva Stripes, and mounted on a ball bearing system for efficiency. The dial represents a complex, 42-part assembly constructed on two distinct levels. The base level features meticulous hand-guilloché work. Positioned above this, the upper level incorporates screwed-on skeletonized train wheel bridges and a unique funnel-like structure for the hour display. Time indication follows a regulator layout: off-centre hours are displayed at the 12 o'clock position featuring the "open gear" mechanism, central minutes are indicated conventionally, and a retrograde seconds function operates within a subdial at 6 o'clock. The hands are executed in the "Trigono" shape, lacquered, and feature Super-LumiNova inlays and tips for low-light visibility. Cylinder-shaped indexes, also treated with Super-LumiNova, mark the hours. This model is strictly limited to 50 units worldwide.
