Chapter 7 Skeleton
BA111OD has introduced a new natural steel version of its Chapter 7 Skeleton integrated bracelet sports watch, inspired by the summer light of Neuchâtel. This iteration retains the core design and skeletonized Soprod P024-SQ movement from the original anthracite PVD model, but offers a brighter aesthetic and is available on a steel bracelet or a frost blue rubber strap.
- Price: CHF 895 (rubber strap) / CHF 955 (steel bracelet)
- 40mm case size
- 38 hours power reserve
- 100m water resistance
- Available August 2026
The new reference features a natural steel finish, contrasting with the original model's anthracite PVD coating, and is available on a frost blue rubber strap in addition to the integrated steel bracelet.
The Soprod P024 movement has been lightly skeletonized with laser-cut, decorated bridges and plates, offering a legible and well-executed skeletonized dial with cantilevered indices.
The case and bracelet feature vertically brushed surfaces with contrasting polished facets, a finishing style that extends to the skeleton dial.
The watch combines open-worked and skeletonized elements, presenting a "full-frontal horological nudity" in a sporty package.
The 40mm 316L stainless steel case has a slim 10.5mm profile and a 47mm lug-to-lug length, with the crown positioned at 4 o'clock.
The H-link steel bracelet features a taper and a folding clasp with a tool-free micro-adjustment system.
The skeletonized dial balances horological exhibition with everyday usefulness and legibility, a feat noted as difficult to achieve.
The new version is offered in natural stainless steel, differing from the original's anthracite PVD coating, and is priced CHF 165 lower due to the absence of the PVD treatment.
