RAYMOND WEIL continues its half-century anniversary celebrations with the introduction of the new millesime Jubilee. Six months after opening its jubilee year with the exclusive The Fifty, the Geneva Maison unveils this 39mm automatic bi-compax chronograph, limited to 500 pieces, paying tribute to five decades of independent and accessible Swiss watchmaking.
From the Valjoux 23-6 Legacy to Accessible High Watchmaking
At Watches & Wonders, RAYMOND WEIL kicked off its 50th anniversary with The Fifty, a collector’s piece housing hand-restored 1976 Valjoux 23-6 historical movements. Following the rapid sell-out of all 50 units, CEO Elie Bernheim set out to translate the neo-vintage design codes of that model into a creation that aligns closely with the brand’s core ethos.
Priced at CHF 3,895 / USD 4,275, the Jubilee reinterprets that anniversary concept within the millesime line, marking a key milestone on the brand’s global Legacy Tour as it travels from Sydney to Singapore and Paris.
Four-Part Sector Dial and 39mm Case Architecture
The Jubilee’s stainless steel case features versatile dimensions of 39mm in diameter and 12.9mm in thickness. A dual-sided anti-reflective glassbox sapphire crystal accents its neo-vintage profile while adding depth to the four-part dial construction:
- Light Blue Central Sector: Finished with alternating gadroons and an applied cartouche bearing “EST 1976”.
- Midnight Blue Bi-Compax Subdials: Azuré-finished counters displaying small seconds at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute chronograph totalizer at 3 o’clock.
- Contrasting Outer Rings: An opal-grained track beneath the indices accompanied by an azuré outer flange.
- Luminous Detailing: Black Super-LumiNova® indices with green emission, paired with satin-finished obelisk hands.
Automatic Caliber RW5030 with 62 Hours Power Reserve
Powering the millesime Jubilee is the automatic RW5030 caliber, a bi-compax chronograph movement offering a 62-hour power reserve. Visible through the sapphire exhibition case back, the watch offers 50 meters of water resistance (5 ATM) and comes fitted on a midnight blue calfskin leather strap with a pin buckle.
