Raymond Weil Millesime Chronograph Tri-Compax automatic black dial leather strap 39,5 mm

Millésime Chronograph Tri-Compax

In a watchmaking landscape often dominated by hyper-modernity or nostalgic reissues, Raymond Weil stands out with a balanced and contemporary vision of vintage elegance. Launched in 2023 and immediately recognized with a Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, the Millésime collection draws its strength from a sober, masterful aesthetic that makes no compromises in terms of quality or style. With the Tri-Compax version, the Geneva-based Maison explores the world of the classic mechanical chronograph in a compact format with carefully considered proportions, where every detail counts.

More than just an exercise in style, this chronograph embodies the desire to create a timeless, legible, balanced and perfectly wearable watch. A watch designed for purists and aesthetes alike.

The model

The 7765-STC-20001 model stands out with its deep black dial featuring the collection's signature sectorized architecture. The hour track is smooth, surrounded by a spiral minute track, while the central area reveals a subtle vertical brushing. This triple texture gives the dial exceptional legibility and understated elegance. The three chronograph counters—small seconds, 30 minutes, 12 hours—are slightly recessed, punctuated by white Arabic numerals reminiscent of the great chronographs of the vintage era.

A white tachymeter scale runs along the dial, adding a sporty touch to the overall design without ever disrupting the harmony. The faceted, brushed and elegantly designed dauphine hands are coated with Super-LumiNova® for perfect readability in the dark.

The 39.5 mm stainless steel case features a vertically satin-finished bezel, contrasting with the polished lugs and piston-style chronograph pushers. It is topped by a domed Glassbox sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating, accentuating the vintage feel of the model. This timepiece is mounted on a smooth, supple and natural black calfskin strap, embellished with discreet topstitching and secured by a traditional ardillon buckle. This choice of materials and finishes gives the model a sober and more dressy silhouette than its steel version.

Inside

This timepiece is powered by the RW5030 caliber, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement based on the proven Sellita SW510 architecture. With a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, this caliber offers a comfortable power reserve of up to 62 hours. It ensures smooth, accurate and reliable display of both the time and the chronograph functions.

The clipped but transparent case back allows the movement to be observed in action. The whole piece is only 12.9 mm thick, a feat for an automatic chronograph, ensuring excellent comfort on the wrist. Water-resistant to 50 meters, this model is perfect for everyday wear, whether elegant or more casual.
