My observations
I do wear it a lot (keeping in mind I have a good sized collection). I never felt it to wear large. It’s neither thick nor thin. It’s a very accurate machine. I prefer the two tone as I think it highlights the double coin edge work. I like that it’s brushed as it won’t show scratches or smears like mirrored finished (which personally bother me). I wish it had a hacking seconds function and I’m not sure technically why this was not done (I recall the founder was a German engineer so the MUST be a reason 😂). I also wish he had not chosen a 24 hour format because the larger 1-9 are so wonderful and you seldom get the chance to experience them.
The proportions are great all around. I would have chosen a different crown design but that’s nitpicking and it never bothered me. I can’t emphasize enough how great the hands on this watch are. Nothing in this design is adhoc or forced. Overall it is extremely well made and a ridiculous value. And bonus, it works both casually or formally and it’s unique as well. I have heard people say that the movement is fragile and I have not found this to be the case and my master watch repairman (he services Journe and other complicated watches) concurs. You will not be disappointed. There are other metal and dial color choices ( I’ve seen black and blue dials come up for sale from time to time but I prefer mine). Overall I’m happy I bought it and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend one to anyone interested.
The Chronoswiss Delphis
Beautiful watch !!
Literally spent this morning looking at them second hand - either this version or the blue dial.
My observations
That’s the purpose of this forum
One more thing
Agreed.
I like everything about Chronoswiss watches except the onion crown.
The idea bothered me too
Another point
To be clear and unless someone can refute with certainty
My understanding was always that all Chronoswiss dials are made with hand cut guilloche.
You’re right - they were stamped (this was asked on here in 2017 and someone got confirmation from CW themselves I believe)
And that’s not to say it
Can be said about every chronoswiss made 2-3 decades ago
I think pricing made it tough
Just ordered a Delphis
The black dial one? That’s the one I was looking at!
