Angelus Instrument de Vitesse Indianapolis Blue SS Blue Dial 2026 LIMITED

The Angelus Instrument de Vitesse Indianapolis Blue, reference 0CHBS.U01A.V010S, is a compact monopusher chronograph introduced within the brand's La Fabrique collection and issued in a limited edition of just 25 pieces. Its 39mm stainless steel case and slim 9.27mm profile give it the poise of a mid-century sports chronograph, while the dial layout strips the display down to its essentials with hours, minutes, and a central one-minute chronograph. The Indianapolis blue dial is one of the defining elements of this edition, pairing a matte vintage-inspired surface with a peripheral tachymeter scale that reinforces the model's dashboard-instrument concept. Power comes from the hand-wound Angelus calibre A5000, a movement rooted in respected monopusher chronograph architecture and executed with a column wheel and horizontal clutch. Collectors will appreciate that the movement is not simply visually attractive through the sapphire back, but technically interesting for its uncommon central chronograph display and short-interval timing format. The watch is fitted to a dark blue nubuck calfskin strap with contrasting ecru stitching, a combination that underscores the automotive character of the piece without compromising refinement. Within the modern Angelus catalog, the Instrument de Vitesse stands out for reconnecting the brand with classical chronograph watchmaking in a way that feels historically informed rather than nostalgic. The limited run of 25 pieces for this Indianapolis Blue execution adds genuine scarcity, especially for buyers focused on independent Swiss chronographs with distinctive movement pedigree. It is a highly focused collector's watch: restrained in size, mechanically serious, and unusual in a category often crowded with far more conventional chronograph designs.
