Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

Blancpain's Villeret Ultraplate, reference 6224 3642 55B, has a 38 mm case in red gold. The case measures 8.35 mm thick, with lugs spaced 20 mm apart. A sapphire crystal covers the opaline dial. The self-winding calibre 1150 drives the watch and stores 100 hours of power reserve, a notable figure for an automatic movement of this size. Central seconds and a date display round out the functions, both read cleanly against the plain dial. The case is paired with an alligator leather strap on a folding clasp. Water resistance sits at a modest 30 metres, in keeping with the dress orientation of the piece.
