Blancpain Villeret Grande Date Jour Rétrograde

Blancpain's Villeret Grande Date Jour Rétrograde, reference 6668 1127 55B, has a 40.5 mm steel case. The case measures 11 mm thick, with a lug width of 22 mm. A sapphire crystal covers the white dial, and a matching one at the back reveals the self-winding calibre 6950GJ.4, which stores 72 hours of power reserve. The large date sits in twin apertures, paired with a retrograde day-of-week display and central seconds. Weekday and date correctors are placed under the lugs, keeping the case sides free of pushers. The dial is fitted to an alligator leather strap with a folding clasp. Water resistance is modest: the case takes 30 metres before it needs concern.
