Raymond Weil Millesime Automatic Small Seconds silver dial steel bracelet 39,5 mm

Millésime Small Seconds

With this piece, Raymond Weil pays tribute to traditional Swiss watchmaking while celebrating the beauty of simple, well-thought-out design. The Millésime collection is both heritage and contemporary, offering understated, balanced, affordable, and perfectly crafted mechanical watches.

The silver dial version on a steel bracelet, presented here, embodies this philosophy with strength and clarity. It combines classic watchmaking with attention to detail in a modernized vintage spirit that has won over both enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Design

The dial, protected by a domed sapphire crystal, offers perfect readability and a structured, sectorized aesthetic. Three distinct zones follow one another:

• A smooth hour track with slender applied hour markers.
• A minute track decorated with a snail pattern, adding a touch of dynamic relief.

A delicately vertically brushed central zone that subtly captures the light.The small seconds display at 6 o'clock is surrounded by a finely recessed ring, introducing an elegant visual depth without disrupting the harmony of the dial. The faceted silver dauphine hands are coated with Super-LumiNova® for optimal readability in all lighting conditions.

The vertically satin-finished steel bezel contrasts with the polished bevel, as do the polished lugs on the top and satin-finished lugs on the sides, reinforcing the impression of quality and attention to detail.

The stainless steel bracelet, with five links alternating between satin and polished finishes, completes the watch with balance. It is equipped with a folding clasp with double pushers for optimal security and comfort in everyday use.

Movement

The watch is powered by the RW4251 caliber, based on the Sellita SW261-1. This reliable Swiss automatic movement displays the hours, minutes, and small seconds at 6 o'clock, with a power reserve of 38 hours and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz).

The transparent case back allows the mechanism and the “W”-shaped oscillating weight, Raymond Weil's mechanical signature, to be admired. This discreet but efficient movement ensures smooth reading and unfailing robustness, in keeping with the Maison's philosophy of durability.
