Raymond Weil Freelancer Chronograph D 7730-ST-20101

With its matt black dial and yellow hands, refined style and contemporary colours, freelancers new date chronograph adopts a daringly minimalist feel, in perfect keeping with the collections original spirit. Space is shared ingeniously by the various functions - hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph and date - to give the RAYMOND WEIL freelancer date chronograph a sophisticated look. The new date chronograph has a circular-grained oscillating weight and mechanical selfwinding movement with 46-hour power-reserve and 28 800 vibrations per hour. The chronograph can be started or stopped by pressing a button at 2 oclock; a second pushbutton at 4 ensures an immediate return to zero. This contemporary model stands out with its original, geometric contrasts. The sharp-angled indexes offer a smooth, harmonious contrast to the circular subdials, with the minutes at 12 oclock, hours at 6, and small seconds at 9. The subdials are not all the same size: the smallseconds is slightly smaller than the other two, yet has plenty of character and a surprising design, with its ring and adjacent screw, underlining the steel chronographs authentic cachet. The curved date window at 3, flanked by a horizontal window for the days of the week, adds extra visual dynamism to the watchs architecture. The 42mm-diameter RAYMOND WEIL freelancer date chronograph can be worn with either a dark brown leather strap or a steel bracelet with double push-piece security.
