Raymond Weil Millesime Automatic Moon Phase (2945-PC5-50001)

The Millesime moon phase marks a fresh take on this iconic horological function: with its visually striking, sectorized dial, this model offers a reading of the lunar phases that is both dynamic and intuitive. The implementation of the moon phase, an emblematic watchmaking function, heralds a new face of creative elegance for RAYMOND WEIL.

The midnight blue sector dial, located beneath a vintage-inspired sapphire crystal glass-box, has been refined to the highest degree. The hours and minutes are eloquently conveyed with silver-toned hands, lined with Super-LumiNova®. The sector dial presents the hours, minutes and seconds periods on discrete tracks, augmenting readability.

A closer inspection of the dial reveals contrasting finishes, the hour track is smooth, the minute track is snailed and the central area of the dial is adorned with a delicate vertical brush. This timepiece features Super-Luminova® indexes and a 6 o’clock aperture displaying the moon phase, specifically designed for the collection, embracing graphic and classic horological codes. The unique moon design, inspired by traditional horology with a modern twist, showcases a smiling face accompanied by planets and stars, conveying a clear and positive message to the wearer.

The bezel is decorated with a vertical satin-brush that contrasts wonderfully with the highly polished bevel nearby. This juxtaposition of two finishes reinforces the overall level of finishing. A sapphire caseback affords sight of the self-winding movement within and the “W-shaped” oscillating weight, RAYMOND WEIL’s horological signature. The navy blue genuine calf leather strap is enhanced with a unique W-stitched detail.

As the name suggests, the collection is a grand vintage interpretation of the RAYMOND WEIL brand.
