Millesime Central Seconds 39 mm Watch - Anthracite Dial

The Watch

Since its founding in 1976, iconic watchmaker Raymond Weil has never stopped making waves in the watch industry with technically and aesthetically refined creations. The brand crafts exquisite timepieces that blend innovation with classic elegance, showcasing its exceptional expertise and artisanal quality. Every Raymond Weil model is built with meticulous care and close attention to detail, ensuring a unique experience for its owner. Celebrating the art of watchmaking and Swiss excellence, the brand now launches a new collection called Millesime, of which this stunning Central Seconds Watch is a part. Drawing inspiration from the beauty of the past, it puts forward a contemporary design and technical sophistication, masterfully combining practicality, aesthetics, and tradition. It will become your new everyday essential, letting you make a statement with effortless elegance. A true pleasure to wear, it features a round case that adorns your wrist with refined precision. It measures 39 mm in diameter and 9.25 mm in thickness, a perfect fit for men's wrists, ensuring all-day comfort. Crafted in stainless steel, it sports a polished finish and a delicate vertical brushing for a more captivating look. The dial is protected from everyday wear by a sapphire crystal with a domed "glassbox" shape for a more pronounced vintage feel, and a double-sided anti-reflective coating for excellent legibility from every angle. You can set the hours and minutes using the gray crown at 3 o'clock. Engraved with the Raymond Weil logo, it features a knurled finish for easy handling. On the back, a snap-on caseback provides water resistance to 50 meters. It also offers an unobstructed view of the movement inside the case through its transparent sapphire crystal window.

The Dial

The case reveals a beautiful dial with a double-circle finish that exudes timeless, refined charm. Its background features a sectoral design draped in a rich anthracite color, adding a note of understated elegance to the watch's overall look. Each circle on the dial presents a distinguished finish with finely placed time markers for smooth, effortless reading in any setting. The central zone is enhanced by a vertical brushed finish and houses two dauphine hands in silver that sweep fluidly to display the hours and minutes - even in the dark, thanks to their white SuperLuminova treatment for impeccable legibility in low-light conditions. A slim gray seconds hand sits at the center and tracks the seconds. Silver baton-shaped hour markers, including a double baton at 12 o'clock, are set on a smooth track for quick hour identification. The outer edge is further enhanced by a spiral textured design, creating an elegant visual effect. Marked with the "Swiss Made" label, it features fine white lines forming a minute railroad track. Finally, the brand places its name below 12 o'clock as a signature and notes the movement type at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

An automatic movement of Swiss origin powers this watch, driving its three hands with smooth precision. Featuring a W-shaped oscillating weight - the brand's signature touch - it is specifically the in-house caliber RW4200. This mechanism is manufactured by Raymond Weil and beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph, or 4 Hz. With a power reserve of 41 hours, it measures 4.60 mm in thickness and is fitted with 26 jewels. Hours, minutes, and seconds are displayed with precision and reliability in any condition.

The Bracelet

This stunning timepiece is offered with a choice of two bracelets. Each one gives your watch its own distinct character while ensuring comfortable wear in any setting. Their lug width is 22 mm.

Crafted in stainless steel, the first bracelet option is the ideal choice for combining comfort and elegance. It is made up of five rows of links, including two slimmer ones, and is elevated by a polished and vertical brushed finish for a more timeless look. You can pair it with any outfit - from sharp chic to effortlessly cool - and fasten it with ease thanks to its folding clasp, fitted with two push buttons for added security.

As the second option, you'll find a calfskin leather strap that deepens the watch's vintage charm with a sophisticated touch. It comes in a rich black that pairs effortlessly with any look. Finished with gray stitching and a subtle "W"-shaped topstitch on the long strap, it hugs your wrist in comfort and flexibility, secured by a stainless steel pin buckle.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters - 5 ATM in standard watchmaking language - this is a timepiece that can handle the occasional splash but isn't built for prolonged water exposure. Sure, you can wear it in the shower from time to time, but to preserve the quality and precision of the movement, our team of watch specialists strongly advises keeping it well away from the H2O molecules found in baths, pools, and the ocean. In short: no swimming, no diving, and no extended contact with water.
