Dubai, UAE, July 10, 2017:  A sprinkle of nostalgia paired up with a hint of glamor —that’s what makes for the special charm of bicolor watches. The combination of two precious metals is already a classic in the world of watchmaking, and must not be missing from the Regulator line by Chronoswiss. Here stainless steel and red gold form an elegant bond together. 

 

The Flying Regulator in its stainless steel case just about beams with its red gold accents: Both the dominantly designed, polished bezel and its typical onion-shape crown are made of solid, 18-karat red gold. Gold-plated screws, hands and bases skilfully continue the theme on the dial. The lower level of the dial features the characteristic guilloche design specially developed in the studios of the House of Chronoswiss. 

 

Additional excitement is lent to the guilloche pattern through the galvanization, which casts it in a dark night blue. Indeed, that striking blue: The midnight blue has characterized the Regulator line since 2016. This is isn’t a trend, but rather a color well on its way to establish itself as a dial classic.
