Introducing Angelus Unveils the Chronodate Titanium Storm Blue Edition at Geneva Watch Days

Riders on the Storm: Where Tradition Meets Modernity

At the recent Geneva Watch Days, Angelus revealed its latest offering in men's timepieces: the Chronodate Titanium Storm Blue Edition. Blending vintage flair with contemporary features, this new edition is a testament to the brand's rich Swiss watchmaking heritage and forward-thinking design.

A Palette of Stormy Skies

In a striking tribute to nature's dramatic hues, the Chronodate Titanium Storm Blue Edition presents a palette reminiscent of a stormy sky. The storm blue dial forms a bold contrast with snailed metallic black chronograph sub-counters, offering visual allure while maintaining a professional aesthetic. This new color joins the existing palette of black, fern green, navy blue, and opaline white, further diversifying the Chronodate collection.

Versatile Style

The watch is available with either a black rubber strap or the brand's signature titanium bracelet, offering versatile options to match personal styles. The 42.5 mm satin-finished titanium case provides a modern and sporty look, exemplifying the brand's continued commitment to high-quality craftsmanship.

A Harmonious Fusion

The Chronodate collection harmonizes Angelus' contrasting identities: one deeply rooted in Swiss watchmaking traditions and the other committed to advanced technical complications. The Chronodate Titanium Storm Blue Edition continues this delicate balance, merging historical elements with modern components in a seamless manner.

Advanced Engineering

The watch has a special design where the inside parts are kept in a tough but light container made of carbon-fiber.Carbon composite chronograph push-pieces complement the assembly, directly applied to the core vessel. The openworked cradle integrates the case middle and lugs into a single, uninterrupted line and is designed to accommodate various materials.

Optimal Functionality

For lovers of technical details, the Chronodate Titanium Storm Blue is powered by Angelus' own calibre A-500. This movement operates at 4 Hz and features a column wheel and a horizontal clutch, minimizing its thickness. An oscillating weight, styled after the brand’s historical “A” emblem, adds a touch of nostalgia to this modern marvel.

The Power of Readability

Substantial counters at 3 and 9 o'clock, a hallmark of Angelus chronographs since the 1940s, ensure optimal readability. The watch also includes a peripheral pointer date hand that travels around the dial, marking another blend of traditional and modern design elements.

Conclusion

The Chronodate Titanium Storm Blue Edition is an exquisite addition to the Angelus portfolio, capturing the essence of both tradition and innovation. Its release at the Geneva Watch Days has set a new standard for men's timepieces, one that is sure to be welcomed by aficionados and newcomers alike. With its blend of high-quality materials, advanced functionality, and elegant design, the Chronodate Titanium Storm Blue Edition truly stands as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of Angelus.
