In 2012, the Blancpain Villeret collection welcomes its first model featuring a beautiful flinqué lacquered dial.

Several layers of translucent blue lacquer applied to the dial create a rich depth effect, while preserving the pure lines of its most classic collection.

The watch is housed in a 40mm white gold case, powered by the ultra-slim Blancpain Calibre 7663Q, a new self-winding movement.

In addition to the hour, minute and “serpentine” styled date pointer, there is also a retrograde seconds function at 6 o’clock.

This new watch also features Blancpain’s very slick under-lug corrector at 5 o’clock for fast date adjustment. Fitted on a matching blue alligator leather strap with folding clasp.
