Raymond Weil expands the Millesime Collection for spring

Raymond Weil’s Millesime collection has become a symbol of understated luxury within the world of watch enthusiasts.

The Millesime collection was launched in 2023 as a tribute to Swiss horological tradition. This spring, Geneva-based, family-owned watchmaker Raymond Weil unveils a compelling expansion to its celebrated Millesime collection. The new lineup includes six new 35 mm models and three 39 mm chronographs, each thoughtfully crafted to blend traditional aesthetics with contemporary design elements. 

Vintage-inspired design with modern craftsmanship

These models exhibit a timeless design with well-balanced proportions and vintage-inspired elegance, drawn from the golden age of classic watchmaking. A true icon of contemporary watchmaking, the chronograph is enjoying a spectacular revival. Valued by collectors for its technical complexity, versatile design and unique aesthetic, it has become an essential piece in any serious collection. This take is sophisticated and rened, oering balanced proportions and exceptional readability.

Precision meets style

These three new chronographs feature three sub-dials placed at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, seamlessly integrated into a sleek, subtly retro layout that blends visual harmony with mechanical precision. They’re powered by the RW5030 caliber, an automatic mechanical chronograph movement with an impressive 62-hour power reserve. The sector dials, optimised for clarity, draw inspiration from the iconic reverse panda layout loved by watch enthusiasts. The stainless-steel model sports an anthracite dial with silver sub-dials and vintage-style Super-LumiNova® indices. The more luxurious rose gold PVD-coated steel version pairs a black dial with white counters and luminous markers, delivering a dressier, more classic feel. Obelisk-style hands, brushed and luminescent, ensure clear time reading at a glance. The 39 mm round case is water-resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM) and has a thoughtfully crafted profile with a slim 12.9 mm thickness for optimal wrist comfort. A domed ‘glassbox’ style sapphire crystal, anti-reflective on both sides, reinforces the vintage aesthetic. The transparent case back reveals the beautifully finished movement inside.

Finishing touches 

With their precise design, measured proportions, and inspired yet modern spirit, these chronographs are designed for a clientele that values authenticity, balanced lines, and subtle references to horological history. The millesime collection continues to bridge heritage and modern-day desire, offering a thoughtful, stylish take on the contemporary chronograph. At the intersection of form and function, these new additions reflect a distinctive approach to watchmaking: elegant, sporty and accessibly priced. Finishing touches elevate each model: the rose gold and black version features a supple black calfskin leather strap for a refined look. The anthracite model is paired with a camel calfskin strap for casual elegance. The stainless-steel version comes with a deployant clasp for added security and functionality.
