Blancpain Villeret Calendrier Chinois Traditionnel

Blancpain's Villeret Calendrier Chinois Traditionnel, reference 0888 3432C 55B, comes in a platinum case measuring 45.2 mm across and 15.1 mm thick. The green dial sits under a sapphire crystal and is fitted to a lug width of 23 mm. Inside is the self-winding calibre 3638, which stores a substantial 168 hours of power reserve. Alongside central seconds and date, the watch carries a month indication and a moon phase display, both drawn from the Chinese calendar tradition the model is built around. The case closes on an alligator leather strap secured by a folding clasp. Water resistance is modest here: Blancpain rates the case to 30 metres, enough for daily wear but not for swimming.
