Kurono Chronograph 3 - Hisui

As many of you may know, I am a big fan of Kurono timepieces. Needless to say, I have the full range of the Chronographs starting with the black and white versions.

The latest release by Kurono (receiving in December 2023) is the Chronograph 3 otherwise named the Hisui.

Hisui in Japanese refers to a special jade stone also known as Itoigawa Jadeite. Apparently, it is unique to Japan but commercial mining for Hisui is prohibited. The only way one can get it is through picking them up as loose stones along streams and the good folks at Kurono has included that as a gift. That's thoughtful of them.

I really love the green hue of the Hisui. Coupled with the white and light green subdial, this is perhaps one of the most attractibe Kurono Chronograph.

Overall finishing of Hisui is also good for a timepiece at this price point.

Here's the Chronograph 1 Mark.2 with a brown and chocolate dial (below)

And this the Chronograph 2 White (below)

And the "original" Chronograph 2 released in 2021.

And now the Hisui...

For me, the Hisui is the most attractive of the lot. I am not one for green but this shade of green is charming.

So which one is your favourite Kurono Chronograph?
