The Regulator Classic

While the new, more exotic regulators from Chronoswiss are quite compelling, this morning I was feeling a wee-bit nostalgic, and thought it might be nice to look at a Chronoswiss model that, in a sense, helps bridge the gap between the first Chronoswiss regulators and the latest and greatest.

I have always been a fan of the "coin edge" finish to the classic Chronoswiss cases, and that nod to the past is there, while a slightly updated dial and hand set keep things in the here and now.

The Case measures 40 mm and is of stainless steel. The movement is self-winding, designated as the Caliber C. 291 Automatic with a power reserve listed at 38 hours.
