Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

Blancpain's Villeret Ultraplate 6224N 3642 55B is a 38 mm case in red gold. The case measures 8.35 mm thick, with lugs sized at 20 mm, and the dial sits under a sapphire crystal. The opaline dial is fitted with a self-winding calibre 1150, offering a power reserve of 100 hours. Central seconds and a date function round out the display. This is a dress watch built along classic Villeret lines, restrained rather than showy. The alligator leather strap closes with a folding clasp. Water resistance is modest: the case is rated to 30 metres, enough for splashes but not for swimming.
