OPUS DAKAR
FROM DUNES TO DIAL - MECHANICAL ENDURANCE IN EARTH TONES. 30 YEARS OF CHRONOSWISS SKELETON CHRONOGRAPH MASTERY.
As the Chronoswiss Opus turns 30, the journey continues - now into the vast stillness and golden heat of the desert. Introducing the Opus Dakar: a tribute to mechanical resilience, elemental beauty, and the stripped-back aesthetic of earth and light. Its name is inspired by the warm tonal palette of the region - grounded, enduring, and quietly powerful.
The Opus Dakar stands for 6mekeeping in rhythm, in silence, in raw mechanical clarity.
DESERT-BORN DESIGN
The Opus Dakar is housed in a 41mm Grade 5 6tanium case - light, pure, and purpose-built.
Its skeletonized CVD-coated brown dial radiates warmth, while the open mechanics beneath cast shifting shadows and subtle depth. Paired with a sand-colored nubuck leather strap, the composi6on reflects the spirit of the desert - sun-soaked, sophisticated, and rich in texture.
This is not a watch that shouts. It resonates - like heat rising off stone, like 6me echoing in silence.
A MECHANICAL HEART, FULLY EXPOSED
Inside beats the Chronoswiss C.741S automa6c chronograph caliber, finished in galvanic black and fully skeletonized. Every element is on display: Central seconds, 30-minute and 12-hour counters, analogue date, and small seconds - all arranged within the iconic 3D open-worked layout.
The Opus Dakar preserves the design DNA that made the original 1995 Opus a horological breakthrough - while refining it through modern materials and a tac6le sense of restraint.
The signature onion crown, knurled bezel, and architectural skeleton movement remains -reimagined in warm tones and natural contrast.
A CELEBRATION IN MOTION
Part of the 30th Anniversary Collection of the Opus, the Dakar edition is not a revival - it’s an evolution. A mechanical statement shaped by the elements. A chapter in a legacy that con6nues to challenge how 6me is seen, worn, and understood.
