Thirty years after Chronoswiss founder Gerd Rüdiger Lang redefined the chronograph with an open display of mechanical complexity, Chronoswiss pays homage to its icon in the boldest way yet. Introducing the Opus Purple Rain, a limited edition of only 30 pieces, celebrating the 30th anniversary of a timepiece that helped shape modern independent watchmaking. But this is no nostalgia piece. This is the Opus - unleashed.

A classic reimagined

When the original Opus debuted in 1995, it stunned the watch world being the first of its kind. Chronographs were traditionally closed, rather conservative, and functional.

The Opus flipped the script: a skeletonized chronograph with skeletonized movement architecture exposed proudly on the dial side. Suddenly the chronograph wasn’t just about function. It was about mechanical transparency, depth, and presence. The Opus became an icon - and a Chronoswiss signature. Thirty years later, the Opus Purple Rain carries that legacy forward. But not quietly…

Our Vision

When Chronoswiss introduced the Opus in 1995, it was more than a chronograph — it was a statement of transparency, engineering, and independence. As one of the very first fully skeletonized automatic chronographs, the Opus defied convention by exposing what others concealed.

Three decades later, we continue that legacy with a bold reinterpretation of the original vision. The Opus remains a technical marvel, reimagined with modern materials and fresh proportions. What began as an avant-garde breakthrough has become a modern mechanical icon. 

Ultra-violet rebellion

Encased in Grade 5 titanium with a radiant purple CVD coating, the Opus Purple Rain stands as a visual and mechanical rebellion. The skeletonized dial is finished in matching purple, letting light play across the black exposed bridges and gears with hypnotic contrast.

The white luminous strap on the other hand may seem innocent - until it steps into the light. Reacting to UV-exposure, it shifts from crisp white to glowing purple, creating a surreal visual transformation and paying tribute to the unorthodox energy behind this piece.

The Chronoswiss DNA remains intact: the signature onion crown, coin-edged bezel, and a modern titanium 41mm case ensure it stays true to its origin while charging boldly into the future.

Function and style

Powered by the Chronoswiss C.741S automatic chronograph caliber in ruthenium black coating, the Opus Purple Rain offers a 46-hour power reserve, central seconds, 30-minute and 12-hour counters, small seconds as well as the date - all seamlessly integrated into the mesmerizing skeleton layout. Every functional component is visible, every detail purposeful. This is not just a chronograph. It’s a mechanical theatre on the wrist.

A skeletonized automatic chronograph movement refined for transparency and performance. Visible through the open architecture, it features black galvanized bridges and a CVD-coated, skeletonized rotor, adorned with subtle Côtes de Genève.

With central chronograph seconds, 30-minute and 12-hour counters, a small seconds display, and an analog date function, the movement delivers both function and finesse. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a power reserve of 46 hours, it is the mechanical pulse of this reimagined icon.

The Chronoswiss Opus features a sophisticated chronograph mechanism with central stopwatch seconds, a 30-minute counter at 12 o’clock, and a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock — allowing precise measurement of elapsed time.

A small second at 9 o’clock ensures constant running time, while a cleanly integrated date at 3 o’clock adds daily utility to this mechanical masterpiece. 

The Magic Strap

The Opus Purple Rain comes fitted with a white leather strap that holds a hidden surprise: It is UV-reactive. As soon as sunlight touches the surface, the strap transforms into a vivid purple hue - a dramatic, almost alchemical shift that mirrors the energy of the piece itself.

Indoors it stays crisp and clean; outdoors, it comes alive. A playful yet refined nod to transformation, time, and light. 

The legend is back

With only 30 pieces produced, the Opus Purple Rain is a collector’s celebration - not just of Chronoswiss, but of the modern skeleton chronograph itself. It is the past, reinvented. The future, embodied. The machine, revealed. The definition of «Modern Mechanical» - and a statement beyond Time.

The Opus Purple Rain is a reminder that true icons don’t age - they evolve. From its roots in mechanical transparency to this rebellious ultraviolet chapter, the Chronoswiss Opus remains a watch for those who dare to see how far precision can be pushed.
