Stepping up in Raymond Weil's range
The Millesime collection takes its name and character from Raymond Weil's sustained interest in mid-century dress watches — not as pastiche but as a genuine working premise. The sector dial here is the clearest expression of that: three separate tracks for hours, minutes and running seconds, each finished differently, so the eye has somewhere to land. The central field carries a vertical brush, the minute track a snailed texture, the outer ring left smooth, and the result is a dial that reads cleanly at a glance but repays closer attention. At 9.25mm thick, this is a watch that disappears under a cuff in a way the case diameter alone would not suggest — 39.5mm is a confident size, but the depth keeps it from adding up to bulk on the wrist. The domed sapphire crystal borrows its silhouette from the acrylic glass of the period it references, with the scratch resistance of the modern material underneath. The RW4200 is built on the Sellita SW200-1 architecture, which means straightforward servicing and a well-understood parts supply — practical considerations that tend to matter over a long ownership. The exhibition caseback shows the movement proper, including the branded rotor engraved with Raymond Weil's W motif. The butterfly clasp sits flush enough to go unremarked, which is the correct outcome for a clasp on a watch like this.

Learn more about Raymond Weil
Raymond Weil founded his company in Geneva in 1976, which was close to the worst possible moment: Swiss mechanical watchmaking was being dismantled by quartz, and established houses were closing. Starting one from nothing took a particular kind of nerve.
The company survived and stayed independent, which is rarer than it sounds — most Swiss names of comparable size were absorbed into Swatch Group, Richemont or LVMH. Raymond Weil is still owned and run by the founding family, with his grandson Elie Bernheim as chief executive.
Music runs through the brand deliberately rather than decoratively. The collections are named for it — Maestro, Toccata, Tango, Freelancer — and the company has built long partnerships with orchestras, conservatoires and record labels.
The watches sit where Swiss watchmaking is still attainable: slim dress pieces, chronographs and skeletonised automatics, mostly on Sellita and ETA calibres, with the Millesime line taking a more vintage-minded direction in recent years.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 41 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
What size strap does it take?
20mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 39.5mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
