A quick look at Raymond Weil's new watches for 2024!

Raymond Weil will expand its Millésime collection, which won the Challenge Watch Award at the Geneva Grand Prix de la Watchmaking (GPHG) 2023, in 2024. Based on design codes in line with the neo-vintage trend, new color and size variations will be added, as well as a moon phase model and a chronograph model.

New blue and green Millésime Automatic Small Seconds

　The Millésime Automatic Small Seconds has been expanded with a denim blue dial and navy leather strap, as well as a British Racing Green dial model. The green dial model is available with either a leather strap or a bracelet.

　This model has a case diameter of 39.5mm, a thickness of 10.25mm, and is equipped with the automatic movement Cal. RW4251 with a small second hand. The combination of its compact and relatively thin proportions and the small second hand gives it a strong vintage feel.

35mm diameter "Millesime Automatic Center Second" added

　Previously, the lineup consisted solely of a 39.5mm diameter model, but a 35mm model equipped with the automatic movement Cal. RW4200 with a center second hand has now been added. Three variations have been announced. The leather strap model features a silver dial with a gray strap, and a denim blue dial with a navy strap, the latter of which features lab-grown diamonds on the lugs. The bracelet model also includes a burgundy dial with a rose gold PVD-finished case and bracelet.

　Although it is categorized as a women's item, it would also be a good choice for men looking for a more vintage feel.

The elegant Millésime Automatic Moon Phase 39.5mm

　A new variation, the Millésime Automatic Moon Phase 39.5mm, has been announced, featuring a moon phase display at 6 o'clock. Powered by the Cal. RW4280 movement, it comes in two combinations: a silver dial with a gray leather strap, or a midnight blue dial with a rose gold PVD case and a navy leather strap.

　This model's design coating follows the traditional Millésime model, and features a sector dial with different scales for the hours and minutes. The center of the dial has a vertical hairline finish on the silver model, while the midnight blue model has a matte finish, creating a unique look for each model. Another notable feature is that the thickness is kept to 10.05mm, the same as the small second and center second models of the same diameter.

A 35mm model with a moon phase display is also available.

　Along with the 39.5mm model, the Millésime Automatic Moon Phase 35mm was also announced. The basic design is the same as the Millésime and the 39.5mm moon phase model announced at the same time, but with the addition of Arabic numerals.

　The watch comes in two models: one with a denim blue dial and lab-grown diamonds on the lugs, and one with a silver dial and rose gold PVD case.

A chronograph with the charm of a classic tool watch

The Millésime Automatic Chronograph has also been added to the collection. As its name suggests, it is equipped with the automatic chronograph movement Cal. RW5030. Like previous Millésime models, it features a sector dial with separate scales for the hours and minutes, and a tachymeter on the outermost periphery complements the chronograph function.

　The 30-minute counter is located at 3 o'clock, the 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock, and the small seconds at 9 o'clock. The black model has black subdials, while the denim blue model has white subdials. With a case diameter of 39.5mm and a thickness of 12.9mm, it is compact for a chronograph model and particularly thin for a mid-range automatic chronograph.
