Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

Blancpain's Villeret Ultraplate 6606A 3642 MMB is a 40 mm case in red gold, built for a slim profile at just 8.55 mm thick. The dial is opaline and finished in a plain, restrained style, set behind a sapphire crystal, with a lug width of 22 mm. Inside is the manual-winding calibre 11C5.4, which delivers 72 hours of power reserve. The dial lays out that reserve alongside a date window and a small seconds subdial, giving the layout a quietly technical character. The watch rides on a Mille Mailles strap closed by a folding clasp. Water resistance is modest here, rated to 30 metres, so this is a watch meant for the wrist rather than the water.
