Violet
Thanks...more violet than burgundy.
I will try to get some images of the hands when it arrives. I don't think I would go for a matching strap. I think that might be distracting being so chromatic (my taste). The dial is primarily black with antique white, some red accents and violet hands. My sense is to either stay with a black gator strap with contrasting stitching OR try the polished bracelet route.
Thanks for your color memory!

I Need Your Counsel: Chronoswiss Chronoscope
Hi, I have an opportunity to purchase an interesting watch used at an attractive price and wanted to run things by the forum to get useful perspective. The watch in question is a Chronoswiss Chronoscope (CH 1523 BW). I like the look of this watch, but als...
Hit the insert by accident (sorry)
t is a 38 mm x 12 mm steel case with a display back. The dial is a regulateur format with central minutes, small second register and hour register. The chronograph function is a separate central sweep hand controlled by a mono-pusher located within the cr...

I thought that this might be useful as a reference. Chronoswiss Regulateur 24...
Moot Point on Purchase, Now on to Strap vs. Bracelet?
Well, the fundamental question is now moot. I purchased the watch and I should have it next week. It was just too attractive for me to resist (combination of unusual B/W dial and price & WIS). Now the only real question at hand is do I keep this classic l...
Looks best on the strap...
...but on the bracelet, it would give you greater flexibility as to how you use the watch - wet or humid weather, etc. And since you already have one on a strap, the bracelet will make this one more noticeably different. And you can always change it to a ...
Similar Thoughts....
Emil, The watch will never see more water than the occasional rain drop or sink splash being a 30 meter WR watch. The heat factor is a good one (it does get sticky here in the NE USA during the summer) and it would be aesthetically different as you say (m...
Well, my personal opinion is...
...that I just don't like the look of metal bracelets on any watch, so I was trying to keep my personal taste out of the equation. But if it's an open and honest opinion you'd like, I have to say that that specific bracelet is far too busy for the classic...
Keep the strap; skip the bracelet
Hi Bob, I have several Chronoswiss (Regulateur, Opus, ex-Orea ) and have had both straps and bracelet. The downside of the bracelet is an inability to fit it correctly - mine came with all links but there are no half-links, thus the Opus is always too loo...
Hand hue?
What about a Chronoswiss OEM gator in Bordeaux? I have not seen the hue of the hands in person.

The hue of the hands on the Chronoswiss Chronoscope is purple
Below are pics I posted several years ago. Cheers, Anthony...
Just a tinge of violet can be seen...
Anthony, Thanks much for sharing your images. Bob

It may be moot but
for what it's worth, I'm a fan of the chronoscope. Gerd Lang is arguably a chrono cognoscenti and expert and this baby is his creation. I like - the classic elegant and stealth look (most people won't know it's a chrono) - the heated wine/brown hands, alt...
I will if I do...
I definitely will if I go that route. The bracelet is a very expensive experiment, so I am giving it a good think. It may work or it may detract.
Humbly opine to stay with leather strap
Btw, I have same watch, but with the cut out dial. I find the Enicar caliber kinda "rough" and the mono pusher a little stiff. Let me know how yours feel when activating the chrono. Congrats, Horo
