Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

Blancpain's Villeret Ultraplate 6651C 3642 55A is a red gold dress watch with a 40 mm case. The case measures 9.05 mm thick, slim enough to sit close to the wrist, and the lugs take a 22 mm strap. A sapphire crystal covers the stamped opaline dial, which carries central seconds and a date display. The self-winding calibre 1150 drives the watch and stores 100 hours of power reserve, well beyond the usual two-day standard. Blancpain supplies the piece on a set of two straps secured by a pin buckle. Water resistance is modest at 30 metres, in keeping with a watch built for the wrist rather than the water.
