Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

The Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate 6224 4628 MMB is a steel watch measuring 38 mm across and 8.35 mm thick. The case has a lug width of 20 mm, suited to its slim proportions. A self-winding calibre 1150 drives the watch, delivering 100 hours of power reserve, well beyond the usual two-day standard. The white dial sits under a sapphire crystal and is set with diamonds. Central seconds and a date display round out the functions, kept simple and legible against the white background. Blancpain fits the watch to a Mille Mailles strap secured with a folding clasp. Water resistance stands at 30 metres, modest but typical for a dress watch of this type.
