Raymond Weil is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a truly special offering. The independent watch brand has unveiled a limite-edition Weil Millesime model, aptly named “The Fifty,” as a fitting homage to its history.
This anniversary creation is conceived as a true workshop piece, emphasizing authentic manual craftsmanship and traditional Swiss savoir-faire. Housed in a 37mm stainless steel case topped with an 18k white gold bezel, the reference respects the historic proportions of classic manual-wound chronographs while incorporating neo-vintage design codes. Its dial is equally architectural, composed of four distinct parts with varied finishes: a grained hour track, a stamped central “tapestry” motif and separately produced sub-dials that enhance both depth and legibility.
At the heart of “The Fifty” beats a meticulously restored and hand-decorated Valjoux Calibre 23-6 dating from 1976, the brand’s founding year. This historic column-wheel movement has been entirely finished by hand, featuring chronograph bridges adorned with Côtes de Genève and treated in black ruthenium to contrast with blued screws and manual anglage.
Limited to just 50 pieces worldwide to echo the anniversary, “The Fifty” features a caseback engraved with “1976” and “2026,” marking the Maison’s founding year and its jubilee celebration. Offered on an anthracite calf leather strap with bespoke lining, this special offering retails at 8,650 CHF (approx. $10,919 USD) and is currently open for pre-order through Raymond Weil’s website and authorized retailers.
