Blancpain Villeret

Blancpain's Villeret 6653Q 1504 55A is a 40 mm case in white gold. The case measures 10.5 mm thick, with lugs set 22 mm apart. The self-winding movement is Blancpain's calibre 7663Q.4, offering a power reserve of 65 hours. A sapphire crystal covers the sunburst light brown dial, which carries a date display and a small seconds subdial. Blancpain pairs the case with an alligator leather strap closed by a pin buckle. The proportions are dressy rather than sporting. Water resistance sits at a modest 30 metres, enough for everyday wear but not for swimming.
