Raymond Weil<\/a> adds a new reference to its elegant and handsome Millesime Moon Phase 35mm<\/a>\u00a0with a Japan-exclusive Special Edition overseen by Masayuki Hirota, Editor-in-Chief of Chronos Japan Edition. The watch retains the compact proportions, sector-dial grammar, and restrained vintage cues that made the 35mm Millesime line<\/a> such a hit, then sharpens it with a two-tone silver and slate-blue sector dial and a realistic lunar disc modelled after NASA imagery, a modern counterpoint to the smiling moon of the regular collection.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Raymond Weil Millesime Moon Phase 35mm stainless steel case falls right into today\u2019s \u201cquiet luxury\u201d category and wears flatter than its 9.98mm height suggests, thanks to a carefully chamfered bezel that visually slims the profile. Finishing is honest and clean, featuring a satin-brushed caseband, lugs, and bezel faces, with polished lug tops and bezel bevels that catch light and add depth. Vintage cues are carried by the box-shaped sapphire and by long, gently arched lugs that curve toward the caseback for comfort. Water-resistance is a practical 50m.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the dial, the Special Edition leans into the Millesime\u2019s sector-style design<\/a>. A silver base features three clearly separated tracks; slate-blue hour and seconds rings form a subtle bullseye that recalls 1930s-1950s instruments, materially enhancing legibility. The Arabic hour numerals are newly rendered in a high-contrast white sans-serif font. The minute track sits on a slightly inclined surface, and the minute and second hands have curved tips, small but telling classical details. At six o\u2019clock, the moon-phase display is the headline change: instead of a cartoon smile, you get a photorealistic moon with true shadows, derived from NASA data, which adds a technical tone without breaking the period mood.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Japan-only Millesime Moon Phase 35mm is powered by the calibre RW4280 (Sellita base), an automatic movement that beats at 28,800 vibrations\/hour, with about 41 hours of reserve. Through the sapphire caseback, you\u2019ll see the W-shaped rotor embossed with the brand\u2019s initials, and at 6 o\u2019clock, the \u201cEdition Limit\u00e9e une sur 100\u201d engraving underlines the run\u2019s exclusivity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The watch is worn on a slate-blue calfskin strap that matches the dial accents. It\u2019s soft to the touch, uniformly edge-finished for a tidy look, and signed with W-shaped embroidery at the tip; a pin buckle keeps the classical impression intact.<\/p>\n
