Cal. C.124 is an automatic movement with digital hour, retrograde minutes, and small seconds from Chronoswiss based on the classic Enicar Cal. 165. This was used in the Chronoswiss Delphis models.

An evolution of the famous regulator Cal. C.122, this new movement features entirely new complications:

  • The hours are displayed digitally through a window at 12:00
  • The minutes are shown using a central hand with a retrograde function, from 9:00 to 3:00 on the dial
  • Small seconds are featured at 6:00
