Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

Blancpain's Villeret Ultraplate 6651 2987 55B has a 40 mm case in red gold. The case measures 8.9 mm thick, with lugs set 22 mm apart. A sapphire crystal covers the opaline dial, which is set with diamonds. The self-winding calibre 1151 drives the watch and stores 100 hours of power reserve, well beyond the industry norm for automatic movements. Central seconds and a date function round out the display, both read cleanly against the dial's plain finish. Blancpain fits the watch to an alligator leather strap secured by a folding clasp. Water resistance sits at a modest 30 metres, in keeping with a dress watch of this profile.
