Description

The silver version of the Millésime 35 mm is probably the most timeless of the collection. Sober, legible, elegant without ostentation, it perfectly embodies the spirit of this line born to celebrate the essentials of Swiss watchmaking. With its nuanced dial texture, luminescent hands and finely crafted case, this small-diameter mechanical watch combines visual sobriety with intelligent detail.A descendant of the finest timepiecesRaymond Weil did not design the Millésime as a reissue, but as a reinterpretation. The 2125-ST-65001 model echoes the main features of the ideal timepiece: balanced proportions, an intuitive sectorized dial, a smooth central seconds hand, and a steel case with a high-quality finish. This 35 mm version, designed for slim wrists or lovers of understated watches, recreates the discreet elegance of the 1930s while remaining contemporary thanks to its materials, movement, and finishes. The silver dial is crafted in shades and textures that subtly play with light and geometry.A contrasting sector dialUnder a domed sapphire crystal, a tribute to the pocket watches of yesteryear, the dial features a three-circle construction. The perfectly smooth hour track is adorned with extremely fine black printed hour markers. The minute track, decorated with a spiral pattern, introduces a subtle dynamic without weighing down the overall design. The central area, adorned with delicate vertical brushing, adds texture to the silver without ever detracting from its clarity.A printed central cross structures the dial and reinforces its symmetrical appearance, while the silver-plated, carefully faceted Dauphine hands coated with Super-LumiNova® ensure impeccable readability at any time of day or night. The central seconds hand brings the whole ensemble to life with its regular movement, adding to the fluidity of this perfectly balanced piece.A compact case with uncompromising finishesThe slim 35 mm stainless steel case features a vertically satin-finished bezel that contrasts with the polished bezel. The lugs, brushed on the sides and polished on top, rigorously extend this alternation of textures. The fluid, well-articulated five-link steel bracelet fits naturally on the wrist and is secured by a double-push-piece folding clasp, ensuring comfort and security.A reliable and discreet Swiss caliberInside, the RW4200 caliber, based on the Sellita SW200-1, powers this Millésime with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of 41 hours. This automatic mechanical movement is visible through the transparent sapphire case back, which also reveals the customized W-shaped oscillating weight, the signature of the Maison Raymond Weil.
