Pacific

Chronoswiss Pacific Watch

Coming in 2011 is this new, simply named "Pacific" watch from Chronoswiss. The Pacific will have a 43mm wide steel case and comes in three-hand and chronograph variants. The Chronograph especially will feature hints of green, a color that Chronoswiss likes to play with. While all Chronoswiss watches are retro in design - the Pacific aims at a new era for the brand. It has hints of the 60s and 70s, with hands and hour markers clearly inspired by classic Rolex timepieces. The cases on the other hands shadow Chronoswiss's other offerings more.

The dials start as sterling silver and will come in silver or black colors. Do you like the green elements on the chronograph pusher stems? Should be interesting in person. Movements are a base Swiss ETA 2892 or Valjoux 7750 automatic. The pieces will come with black alligator straps, and should be an interesting change of pace for the German brand. Prices will start at $3,800.
