Chronoswiss reignites the ReSec Series with two manufacture models

Crafted with the spirit of innovation that has long defined the storied Swiss watchmaker, the Green Monster Manufacture and Vertical Blue Manufacture timepieces herald the advent of a thrilling new chapter for the brand and its ReSec series, which has captivated enthusiasts since its 2020 debut.

nspired by the audacious spirit of the 1960s Bonneville race cars, the ReSec Green Monster Manufacture is Chronoswiss’s latest horological hero. Born from the fiery imagination of a designer who, as a child, revelled in the legend of a 17,000-horsepower beast dominating the salt flats, this timepiece is a nod to the record-smashing giants of yesteryear.

The Green Monster is where heritage meets the height of modern craftsmanship. Its heart, the all new Chronoswiss Manufacture Calibre C.6005, is a masterpiece of mechanical prowess, ruthenium-plated and adorned with a radial Côte de Genève that mesmerises with movement.

The hand-guilloché dial, under a veil of CVD coating, is a colour-changer – shifting from green to blue in an iridescent dance. Cased in 42mm of Grade 5 titanium, this watch doesn’t just tell time; it tells a story of speed, of vibrant dreams captured on the wrist, anchored with a high-quality green rubber strap that’s as bold as it is precise.

Limited to only 100 pieces, the Green Monster is a celebration of unbridled joy and the exhilarating rush of breaking boundaries. It’s Chronoswiss’s way of saying that fun and sophistication can share the same timepiece – a defiant declaration of ’Modern Mechanical’ individuality. A worthy ambassador of Chronoswiss’s new generation.

The Vertical Blue Manufacture takes a different stance – it is elegance reimagined. It’s a symphony in blue, with a dial that pays homage to the brand’s avant-garde ethos while keeping one foot firmly in the world of classic aesthetics. The Vertical Côte de Genève shines with a blue chemical vapour deposition coating, a testament to Chronoswiss’s marriage of traditional techniques and cutting-edge technology.

A Limited Edition of just 100 pieces that boldly demands attention. This model, too, encases the revolutionary Manufacture Calibre C.6005 within a titanium body, promising a lighter, more agile presence on the wrist. Paired with a matching blue rubber strap, it stands as a beacon of the brand’s dedication to technical finesse and design harmony.

These introductions are far more than just new offerings; they are statements of intent from Chronoswiss, heralding a bold stride into the future for the ReSec line. With groundbreaking movements, a renewed commitment to lighter, stronger materials, and dial designs that defy convention, these timepieces embody the vanguard of horology.

Both the Green Monster and Vertical Blue are crafted for those who dare to be different, limited to a mere 100 pieces each – they are rare, bold, and unmistakably Chronoswiss.
