Raymond Weil Millesime Automatic Small Seconds anthracite dial leather strap 35 mm

A tastefully modernized vintage look

The Millésime collection perfectly embodies what Swiss watchmaking does best: timeless, mechanical watches that are easy to read and, above all, designed to last. This 35 mm version, designed for slimmer wrists, combines formal style and modernity in a watch that can be worn both on a daily basis and on formal occasions.

Here, the addition of a camel strap transforms the look of the piece. Combined with the elegant austerity of the anthracite dial, it adds a soft tone, a natural feel and a strong visual identity.

Sectorized anthracite dial: balance, contrast and movement

Sheltered under a domed sapphire crystal glassbox, the anthracite dial plays on finishes and textures to create striking visual depth:

• The perfectly smooth hour track is punctuated by carefully aligned silver baton hour markers.
• The minute track, decorated with a menthol spiral pattern, adds an unexpected touch of freshness and emphasizes the rigor of the sectorized construction.
• The vertically satin-finished central zone gives a soft texture that changes slightly depending on the angle of the wrist.

At 6 o'clock, a finely rimmed, recessed small seconds dial adds a breath of fresh air to the dial and reinforces its classic signature. The dauphine hands, also silver-plated and coated with Super-LumiNova®, ensure perfect readability day and night.

Compact case, warm strap

The 35 mm stainless steel case, with its balanced thickness, combines simplicity and elegance. The codes of the collection are all there:

• Vertically satin-finished bezel,
• Polished bevel offering subtle touches of light,
• Polished lugs on the top, satin-finished on the sides.

But it is the camel leather strap that transforms the watch. Its natural, luminous color, its suppleness when worn, and the presence of a “W”-shaped topstitching at the attachment give it a soft and refined, almost artisanal identity. It is secured by a polished steel ardillon buckle.

Reliable and visible mechanics

The watch is powered by the RW4251 caliber, based on the Sellita SW261-1. This Swiss automatic movement offers:

• Hours, minutes and small seconds display at 6 o'clock,
• A frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz),
• A power reserve of 38 hours.

Visible through the transparent case back, it reveals a sober and precise mechanism, accompanied by the personalized “W” oscillating weight, the signature of the Maison Raymond Weil.
