Specialist note

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

The present example of a Chronoswiss Chronograph is preserved in good original condition and is distinguished by a dark patina to the case, a characteristic of watches that have not been worn in a long time. It is number 356 of the limited series of 500 examples.

Originally launched in 1989, the Kairos model is characterized by the spherical crown, the knurled bezel and screwed bracelet bars, a design that is inspired by the models from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
