Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

Blancpain's Villeret Ultraplate 6651 3630 55B is a red gold dress watch measuring 40 mm across and 8.7 mm thick. The case has a lug width of 22 mm, suited to the alligator leather strap fitted with a folding clasp. A sapphire crystal covers the stamped flinqué black dial. Inside is the self-winding calibre 1151, which stores 100 hours of power reserve, a notably long figure for an automatic movement of this size. The watch shows a date and runs with central seconds. Blancpain's secured movement construction protects the mechanism from damage during setting. Water resistance is rated to 30 metres, modest but typical for a dress piece of this kind.
