Chronoswiss’ newly unveiled Delphis Sapphire is an exquisitely crafted limited edition that marries elements from traditional watchmaking with a daring contemporary vision.

The three-dimensional dial design is the Delphis Sapphire’s most standout characteristic, aesthetically. Framed inside its 42mm and 17-piece solid stainless steel case, the watch showcases curved hand guilloché dials with a tantalizing sapphire blue CVD coating. The upper segment features a digital hour display, while the analog second is positioned at 6 o’clock, completing a central retrograde minute. Minutes and seconds are indicated via Viking-style skeletonized hands that are plated in brass gold.

At the core of the timepiece is the C.6004 caliber co-developed with La Joux-Perre. Fitted with a skeletonized tungsten rotor, Côtes de Genève decoration and ruthenium-plated component, the movement offers a 55-hour power reserve and is functional even when it’s 100 meters underwater.

A limited edition of 50 examples, the Delphis Sapphire wristwatch is currently available for purchase via Chronoswiss with a retail price of $16,700 USD.
