Mocha is a word that conjures up delicious, roasted flavours that blend sweetness and intensity. It also evokes the amber colour adorning the new dials in the Chronodate collection. Paired with a multi-material case and the A-500 self-winding chronograph calibre, this chocolate-tinged theme also extends to the large scales of an alligator strap.

Between golden hues and satin-finished textures, the mocha spirit reveals the richness of a refined universe in two limited editions: five red-gold timepieces and twenty-five titanium timepieces.

Since its return in a neo-retro style, Chronodate has been offering a fusion of two different styles: Angelus, the historic brand imbued with Swiss watchmaking heritage, and Angelus, the modern, technical brand with a penchant for extreme complications. This subtle marriage is what defines the collection.

Preparation

These Chronodate Moka editions come in a complex 42.5 mm case that combines carbon composite with either red gold (5N) or titanium (grade 5). The movement is housed in a container machined from a rigid yet lightweight carbon-fibre-based composite. The chronograph pushers, also in carbon composite, are applied directly to this chamber.

Around this container, Angelus has designed an openworked cradle that unites the case middle and lugs in a single line. This ensemble also houses a fixed bezel marked with twelve notches. This modular superstructure makes it possible to offer one or more materials.

The energy emanating from this chamfered profile and from the alternating straight and curved lines gives the Chronodate Moka a full-bodied feel.

On the case back, the conventional markings are engraved in relief, providing a sharp and precise visual contrast that is in harmony with the finishes adorning the movement.

Origins

Chronodate serves as a historical reminder of the brand’s origins, as Angelus became a leading manufacturer of chronographs in the 1930s. These timepieces featured a smaller diameter, in keeping with the taste of the time, and counters that stood out for being particularly large and legible. It is thus only fitting that Angelus is now presenting a Chronodate with large-diameter, easy-to-read counters.

The 30-minute chronograph totaliser and small seconds counter stand out from the dial thanks to their metallic black colour and snailed texture, which contribute to the modernity of the Chronodate design.

The dominant shade – mocha-brown with an amber shimmer – is applied with a fine sunray-brushed effect that is highlighted by the minutes circle. The final additions to the colour palette are the gold-finished applied Arabic numerals and hands filled with luminescent material. 

Mechanics

Angelus has fitted these Chronodate Moka models with its own Manufacture chronograph movement, the A-500 calibre, which displays the small seconds at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute totaliser at 3 o’clock.

A pointer-type date display runs around the periphery of the dial, like on the famous original Chronodate that was unveiled in 1942. Its red, openworked arrowhead indicates the colour chosen to adorn the secondary displays: the markings on the chronograph pushers, the tip of the chronograph’s direct-drive seconds hand and the hand on the 30-minute counter are all finished with red lacquer.

The A-500 calibre stands out for its bold, contemporary decoration that is in keeping with both the traditional codes of its history and its current evolution. The sandblasted main plate and bead-blasted bridges highlight the volumes of the movement and are treated with NAC, a surface treatment that modifies the appearance and properties of the metal, giving it an anthracite-grey hue.

The retaining screws are shaped like three-bladed propellers, an Angelus signature that bears witness to the house’s advanced research into aesthetics. Finally, the edges of the main elements are chamfered and satin-finished, offering a subtle play of light that mirrors the matt finishes.

This movement, oscillating at 4 Hz, is driven by a column wheel and a horizontal clutch to reduce its thickness. The A-500 calibre has a power reserve of 60 hours.

Its self-winding system operates by means of an oscillating weight featuring a red-gold segment on the Chronodate Gold version and a tungsten segment on the Chronodate Titanium model.

Its design is taken from the brand’s archives, with a capital letter ‘A’ above a star, evoking a bell and its clapper. It alludes to the early days of Angelus, right at the heart of the mechanism.
