When the original Opus debuted in 1995, it stunned the watch world as the first of its kind. Chronographs were traditionally closed, rather conservative and functional. Imagined by Chronoswiss, the Opus flipped the script: a chronograph with skeletonised 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 also a Chrono-swiss signature.
Thirty years later, the Opus Purple Rain carries that legacy forward. But not quietly… Encased in grade 5 titanium with a radiant purple CVD coating, the Opus Purple Rain stands as a visual and mechanical rebellion. The skeletonised dial is finished in matching purple, letting light play across the black exposed bridges and gears while creating mesmerising contrasts.
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 timepiece.
The Chronoswiss DNA remains intact: the signature onion-type crown, coin-edged bezel and modern titanium 41mm case ensure it stays true to its origin while charging boldly into the future. Powered by the Chronoswiss C.741S automatic chronograph calibre with a ruthenium black coating, the watch 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.
