Artisan Handcraft: Hand Guilloché
The Delphis Sub Zero showcases the traditional guilloché technique, with intricate, interwoven lines engraved on the dial surface. This meticulous process creates unique light patterns and requires several hours of skilled craftsmanship. Chronoswiss excels in this art, producing dials that celebrate the enduring beauty of this technique while incorporating modern elements.
Coating: Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD)
Chronoswiss uses CVD coatings to impart vibrant hues, such as blue, purple, and color-shifting tones, to its watch cases and dials. This complex gas-phase process ensures precise, uniform coatings that enhance durability and aesthetic appeal.
The Vision
Inspired by the iconic 90s Delphis, the new Delphis Sub Zero seamlessly blends heritage and modernity.
