Specifications

About this reference

With the millesime small seconds, RAYMOND WEIL revisits the Tuxedo dial, a design style experiencing a notable revival, defined by bold, two-tone contrasts and formal elegance. Already a cornerstone of the collection and winner of the Challenge Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in 2023, the millesime small seconds returns with a new aesthetic inspired by classic Tuxedo dials. Defined by striking contrasts and Art Deco–inspired refinement, this sector-dial timepiece embraces timeless elegance. Inspired by Art Deco aesthetics, the sector dial alternates light and dark zones to structure legibility while reinforcing visual sophistication. Beneath a vintage-inspired domed sapphire crystal, silver-tone hour and minute hands treated with Super-LumiNova® emit a subtle glow in low light. True to the millesime design codes, the small seconds at 6 o’clock is displayed on an opaline subdial framed by a discreet recessed ring, creating a refined sense of depth. The dial architecture reveals a nuanced, multi-layered construction where every element contributes to clarity and expression. A glossy, lacquered index ring highlights the hour track, producing a luminous contrast against adjacent textures, whilst a finely executed minute track enhances precision and visual lightness. At the centre, a vertical, satin-brushed disc is intersected by a structural crosshair and a deliberately raw V-shaped groove — graphic signatures that subtly reference the industrial influence of the Art Deco era. This reference 2930-STC-05642 introduces greater depth, with an intense midnight blue across the central sections and sub dial, framed by a black lacquered hour ring reinforcing the watch's formal character. This timepiece is housed in a slender 39 mm stainless steel case with elegant, balanced proportions. The bezel features a vertical satin-brushed finish set against a delicately polished chamfer, highlighting the Maison’s attention to detail through the interplay of textures. A transparent case back reveals the automatic movement and the W-shaped oscillating weight, a signature element of RAYMOND WEIL watchmaking, delivering a 41-hour power reserve.
