Raymond Weil releases new Millesime retro series watch
At the just-concluded 2024 Geneva International Haute Horlogerie Show, the new 35mm small seconds watch from the Raymond Weil Millesime retro series became one of the focuses of attention.
New 35mm Small Seconds Watch Design and Functions
The new 35mm small seconds watch attracted the attention of many watch lovers as soon as it was unveiled. The watch not only inherits the design elements of the 39.5 mm model, but also has been exquisitely reduced in diameter to better fit women’s slender wrists. In addition, the watch conquers the market of neo-retro formal watches with modern specifications, demonstrating the brand’s innovation and heritage.
Movement performance and aesthetic pursuit
In terms of movement, it is equipped with RW4251 automatic movement, which has the dual advantages of high-frequency performance and power storage, which further enhances the practicality and accuracy of the watch. It is worth mentioning that this movement is not only excellent in performance, but its polishing and decoration are also quite aesthetic.
Watch size and design
The new Millesime retro series watch has a diameter of 35 mm and a thickness of only 10.25 mm, making it very comfortable to wear. The watch uses a three-piece stainless steel case. The sides and bezel of the case are vertically brushed, creating a unique visual effect. The bevel and lugs of the bezel are polished, creating a sharp contrast.
Color and material selection
There are three new watches released this time, namely salmon, silver and smoke gray. All three watches adopt a partitioned design and have a recessed small seconds dial at 6 o’clock. The design of the small seconds hand is unique in the watch market and may become a new favorite among watch enthusiasts.
The salmon and silver models come with a gray calfskin strap, while the anthracite model comes with a brown calfskin strap. All three watches are priced at 2,050 euros. If you buy the five-row stainless steel bracelet, the price will rise to 2,150 euros.
The history and future of the Raymond Weil brand
The Raymond Weil Millesime retro series watch was first released in 2022. With a diameter of 39.5 mm and a neoclassical design style, this watch attracted the attention of many watch enthusiasts after its release. In 2024, the release of the new 35mm small seconds watch will undoubtedly enrich this series.
Conclusion
Raymond Weil’s new Millesime retro series watch is undoubtedly a masterpiece that combines aesthetics and practicality, especially the unique small second hand design. I sincerely hope that it will become the favorite of more women. What do you think of this watch? Come to the comment area to chat about your views, and don’t forget to give it a like and support!
