Chronoswiss updates its Neo Digiteur with three limited pastel dials, retaining the mechanical digital display and Digiteur module while offering slightly lower pricing and a contemporary color palette.
Three limited editions (99 pieces each) in Rose, Mint, and Sky with sandblasted lacquered dials and numbered printing on the dial.
Mechanical digital time display: jumping hours at 12, dragging minutes in the center and sweeping seconds at 6, powered by manual-wind calibre C.85757.
Rectangular stainless-steel case (48 x 30 x 9.7 mm) with brushed and polished finishes, reshaped onion crown, 50 m water resistance.
# What this release is Chronoswiss introduces the Neo Digiteur Pastel Code as three limited editions that keep the model's mechanical digital readout but soften the look with contemporary pastel dials. Each colorway—Rose, Mint, Sky—is limited to 99 pieces and priced lower than some earlier Neo Digiteur editions.
# Design and case The case keeps the same rectangular, cambered profile introduced in 2025: 48 mm long, 30 mm wide and 9.7 mm thick in stainless steel. Finishes are mixed: horizontally brushed arched edges with polished bevels and sandblasted recessed flanks. The crown is a modern, flattened take on Chronoswiss's onion crown to preserve the case's lines while remaining functional. The watch has a double AR sapphire crystal up front, a screw-down sapphire caseback, screw-in lugs and 50 m water resistance.
# Dials and readability Dials are sandblasted for a matte base and lacquered for depth. The vertical layout uses three deep-set, bevelled windows: a rectangular aperture at 12 o'clock for the jumping hour (white disc with blue numerals), a larger arched window for the sweeping minutes with an integrated indicator, and a panoramic arc at 6 o'clock for running seconds. Each dial is numbered (xx/99) printed below the seconds window.
# Movement and the Digiteur module
# Finishing and strap The Pastel Code editions use a radial Côtes de Genève finish on the movement instead of hand-guilloché seen on earlier variants. Straps come in grey or black textile with a steel pin buckle.
# Availability and price Each colorway is limited to 99 pieces. Retail prices listed are CHF 11,500, EUR 12,700 and USD 13,900. References are CH-1373.2-LR (Rose), CH-1373.2-LG (Mint) and CH-1373.2-LB (Sky). More information is available at chronoswiss.com.
# Why it matters This release keeps the Neo Digiteur's distinctive mechanical digital experience—jumping hours and guichet-style windows—but repositions the model visually with softer colors and a more contemporary dial finish. The technical choices (aluminium discs, energy-storage jump mechanism, bidirectional module) are aimed at reliable performance in a mechanically instantaneous display.
Luxury Swiss watchmaker Chronoswiss is giving one of its most unconventional watches a colorful new treatment with the Neo Digiteur Pastel Code, a trio of limited editions in Rose, Mint, and Sky.

The way we tell time matters, and not just because we want to miss the train. The way we read time is also an experience. Digital time is just a series of numbers, while an analog timekeeper sweeps through time, showing you where it has been and where it is going. Call me a hopeless […] Visit The Chronoswiss Neo Digite
Unveiled on the occasion of Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025, the Nomos Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer caused quite a stir, being almost unanimously praised, including by us, for its design, functionality and reasonable price (at least considering what you get in return…) First released in brushed silver or blue edition

I love the experience of a truly unique watch. A watch that, despite doing what the rest of them do, for all intents and purposes, is still unlike anything you’ve strapped to your wrist. This goes beyond the dial to the case, bracelet, time-telling, movement, etc. It doesn’t have to encompass all of those things, […] T
One of the most noteworthy releases from Chronoswiss in recent years has been the introduction of its PULSE collection, which originally debuted in 2025 as the Swiss brand’s first integrated bracelet model.
