Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

Blancpain's Villeret Ultraplate, reference 6224N A 1142 55B, has a steel case measuring 38 mm across and 8.35 mm thick. The dial is opaline and sits under a sapphire crystal, with a lug width of 20 mm. Inside is the self-winding calibre 1150, which stores 100 hours of power reserve. The watch shows a date alongside a central seconds display. Blancpain fits it on an alligator leather strap secured with a folding clasp. It is not a dressy afterthought but a genuine ultra-thin piece, built for daily wear rather than the safe. The folding clasp closes over a case rated to 30 metres of water resistance.
