EVOLUTION OPUS CHRONOGRAPH PURPLE RAIN LIMITED EDITION OF 30

The Evolution Opus Chronograph Purple Rain CH-7548T.1S-PU is a fearless tribute to 30 years of one of Chronoswiss’s most important creations. Reimagined for a new era, this limited edition of just 30 pieces transforms the iconic skeletonised chronograph into a radical modern statement, merging heritage, transparency, and bold contemporary design. Purple Rain is not a reinterpretation in name alone, it is a complete evolution of a true mechanical icon.

Encased in Grade 5 titanium with a vibrant purple CVD coating, the watch immediately commands attention while remaining lightweight, corrosion resistant, and exceptionally comfortable on the wrist. The open worked dial exposes the full chronograph architecture, revealing floating bridges and deep mechanical contrast that celebrate the beauty of function in motion. Every component is visible, reinforcing the Opus philosophy of transparency that first defined the model in 1995.

At its heart beats the Chronoswiss Calibre C.741S, a skeletonised automatic chronograph movement refined for performance and visual depth. Finished with black galvanised bridges and a CVD coated skeletonised rotor adorned with subtle Côtes de Genève, the movement offers central chronograph seconds, a 30 minute counter at 12 o’clock, a 12 hour counter at 6 o’clock, small seconds at 9 o’clock, and an analogue date at 3 o’clock. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, it delivers a 46 hour power reserve and precise chronograph functionality.

Adding a playful yet refined layer of innovation is the Magic Strap. Crafted in white leather, it remains understated indoors but transforms into vivid purple when exposed to UV light, mirroring the watch’s bold character and its relationship with time, light, and transformation. This unexpected detail reinforces the Opus Purple Rain’s spirit of experimentation and individuality.

When Chronoswiss introduced the Opus in 1995, it redefined what a chronograph could be by exposing what others chose to hide. Thirty years later, the Evolution Opus Chronograph Purple Rain continues that legacy with modern materials, daring colour, and uncompromising transparency. It is a statement piece for collectors who value independence, innovation, and mechanical watchmaking that refuses to play it safe.
