Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

Blancpain's Villeret Ultraplate, reference 6224 1127 55B, is a steel-cased watch measuring 38 mm across. The case stands 8.35 mm thick, with lugs spaced 20 mm apart to take the strap. A sapphire crystal covers the white dial, which carries central seconds and a date window. Inside is the self-winding calibre 1150, offering a power reserve of 100 hours, a notable span for a movement of this profile. The dial's clean layout keeps the focus on time-telling rather than added complications. An alligator leather strap closes with a folding clasp. Blancpain rates the case to 30 metres, enough for everyday wear but not for swimming.
