The RAYMOND WEIL Millesime Small Seconds reinterprets the classic Tuxedo dial, a design celebrated for its striking two-tone contrast and timeless elegance. Building on the success of the award-winning Millesime collection, which received the Challenge Prize at the 2023 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, this latest model combines vintage-inspired styling with refined Art Deco influences. Its distinctive sector dial balances bold visual appeal with exceptional legibility, creating a sophisticated timepiece suited to both formal and everyday wear.
Protected by a vintage-style domed sapphire crystal, the dial features a carefully layered design that enhances depth and character. Silver-tone hour and minute hands coated with Super-LumiNova® provide visibility in low-light conditions, while the small seconds display at 6 o’clock sits within an opaline subdial for added refinement. A glossy lacquered hour ring, precise minute track and satin-brushed central disc work together to create a dynamic interplay of textures, complemented by subtle Art Deco-inspired details, including a crosshair motif and distinctive V-shaped groove.
Reference 2930-STC-05642 showcases a striking black-and-white colour scheme, pairing a light central dial and small seconds counter with a contrasting dark hour ring and Arabic numerals. The watch is housed in a slim 39mm stainless steel case featuring a combination of satin-brushed and polished finishes for a sophisticated look. Through the transparent case back, the automatic movement and signature W-shaped oscillating weight can be admired, offering a 41-hour power reserve. Completing the design is a genuine calfskin leather strap with subtle W-shaped stitching, reflecting the craftsmanship and attention to detail synonymous with RAYMOND WEIL.
