Chronoswiss - Neo Digiteur Pastel Code
The Chronoswiss Neo Digiteur Pastel Code brings a playful new colour language to one of the Maison’s most unconventional mechanical creations. Presented in three pastel variations Rose, Mint and Sky, each edition is limited to just 99 pieces worldwide, pairing soft colour with the distinctive architecture of Chronoswiss’ handless mechanical display.
Rather than traditional hands, time is displayed through a jumping hour at 12 o’clock, sweeping digital minutes at the centre and sweeping seconds at 6 o’clock. Each sandblasted brass dial is finished with lacquer to create a matte yet subtly dynamic surface, housed within a tailored 48 × 30 mm stainless steel case.
Powering the display is the hand-wound Chronoswiss Calibre C.85757, equipped with a proprietary in-house jumping hour module and offering approximately 48 hours of power reserve. Rose introduces pastel pink, Mint a fresh pastel green and Sky a soft blue, three distinctive interpretations of the same mechanical digital icon.

From the Original Digiteur to Pastel Code
The story behind the Chronoswiss Neo Digiteur Pastel Code began in 2005, when founder Gerd-Rüdiger Lang introduced the original Digiteur and challenged the conventions of mechanical timekeeping. Twenty years later, that distinctive concept has evolved for a new generation, retaining its unmistakable handless approach while embracing a more expressive side of Chronoswiss design. The introduction of Rose, Mint and Sky creates an unexpected contrast between the precision of traditional mechanical watchmaking and a lighter, more playful aesthetic. Rather than simply revisiting an archive design, the Pastel Code demonstrates how an established Chronoswiss idea can continue to evolve while remaining instantly recognisable.

Chronoswiss Neo Digiteur Pastel Code FAQs
The Chronoswiss Neo Digiteur Pastel Code is a mechanical watch without conventional hands. Instead, hours, minutes and seconds are presented through three separate digital-style displays powered entirely mechanically. The Pastel Code collection introduces this unusual complication in Rose, Mint and Sky, giving the technical architecture a softer and more contemporary character. Each of the three colours is individually limited to 99 pieces worldwide.
The Neo Digiteur uses a mechanical regulator-style arrangement consisting of a jumping hour at 12 o’clock, sweeping digital minutes in the centre and sweeping seconds at 6 o’clock. Rotating discs replace conventional watch hands, creating the appearance of a digital display without using electronics. The system is driven by the proprietary Chronoswiss jumping hour module fitted to the mechanical Calibre C.85757.
The three Neo Digiteur Pastel Code variations share the same case, movement and mechanical display, with their dial colour providing their individual identity. Rose features a warm pastel pink dial, Mint introduces a fresh pastel green, while Sky is presented in a soft pastel blue. Each brass dial is sandblasted before receiving its lacquer finish and is paired with matte white display discs with deep blue printing. Each colour is limited to 99 pieces.
Each version is powered by the hand-wound Chronoswiss Calibre C.85757, operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, or 3 Hz, with approximately 48 hours of power reserve. The calibre incorporates an in-house developed jumping hour Digiteur module responsible for managing the jumping hour alongside the progression of the minute and second discs. For the Pastel Code editions, the rhodium-plated movement is completed with a radial Côtes de Genève finish and can be viewed through the sapphire crystal case back.
