Raymond Weil has unveiled the Millesime Jubilee, a 500-piece limited-edition chronograph that continues the brand\u2019s 50th anniversary celebrations The watch borrows its look and architecture from the sold-out The Fifty release that opened the celebrations, but with a 39-mm steel case, an RW5030 automatic movement, and a light blue dial It\u2019s priced at AUD$6,995, making it a considerably more accessible piece of Raymond Weil\u2019s anniversary story<\/p>\n

When Raymond Weil<\/a> unveiled its The Fifty release earlier this year to mark the watchmaker\u2019s 50th anniversary, it was a bittersweet moment. The brand had created a fitting watch<\/a> to pay tribute to its five decades of craftsmanship, but at only 50 pieces that quickly sold out, well, getting your hands on one was tricky.<\/p>\n

Happily, six months after The Fifty landed at Watches and Wonders 2026<\/a>, the independent maison has followed up with the Millesime Jubilee, a more accessible but aesthetically related chronograph taking the same design cues and placing them in a more contemporary package.<\/p>\n

The Fifty was something of an experiment for the brand in that each one was powered by one of 50 restored and hand-decorated 1976 Valjoux 23-6 movements, with a white-gold bezel sitting atop its stainless-steel case, and priced accordingly at AUD$15,500. The Millesime Jubilee is a more accessible proposition, while still offering the exclusivity of 500 pieces priced at AUD$6,995.<\/p>\n

In crafting the Millesime Jubilee, Raymond Weil reinterpreted the architecture of its predecessor through a more modern lens. The result is a fully stainless steel case measuring 39 mm across and 12.9 mm thick, which, for my money, is right in the sweet spot for a chronograph in 2026.<\/p>\n

The case also maintains the neo-vintage character that\u2019s the Millesime collection\u2019s calling card. This is enhanced by the depth and retro-instrument feel of its double-sided, anti-reflective sapphire glass-box crystal.<\/p>\n

Beneath the crystal sits a light-blue central disc paired with two midnight-blue sub-dials, which give the bi-compax layout its structure. It\u2019s an attractive combination, although I personally prefer the elevated balance of the brand\u2019s tri-compax chronographs.<\/p>\n

That said, the layout is tidy. Hours and minutes are where you would expect. There\u2019s a small seconds at 9 o\u2019clock, a 30-minute chronograph counter at the 3 o\u2019clock position, and a central seconds hand taking on chronograph timing duties.<\/p>\n

The centre of the dial is occupied by a handsome alternating gadroon finish, with the Raymond Weil Gen\u00e8ve logo and \u201cEST 1976\u201d applied and raised within a cartouche. Around these sits an opaline silver-toned ring beneath the hour markers, and beyond that, an azure-finished rehaut. The sub-dials also received the azure treatment.<\/p>\n

Plus, the watch\u2019s markers and satin-finished obelisk hands are coated in green-glowing Super-LumiNova, so darkness shall not be your enemy.<\/p>\n

Powering this whole affair is the RW5030, a self-winding mechanical chronograph with a 62-hour power reserve. That\u2019s comfortably more than two and a half days, which means you can leave it on the bedside table on Friday evening and still find it ticking when the dreaded Monday alarm goes off.<\/p>\n

You can watch it all at work through the sapphire caseback. The movement is protected to 50 metres, so this is a watch for daily wear rather than diving. However, that suits its dress-leaning aesthetic to a tee.<\/p>\n

This aesthetic is perfectly complemented by the Millesime Jubilee\u2019s midnight-blue calfskin leather strap with a pin buckle, which nicely echoes the sub-dial colour, keeping the whole affair cohesive.<\/p>\n

Pricing and Availability <\/p>\n

The Raymond Weil Millesime Jubilee is now available until its 500 pieces sell out and is priced at AUD$6,995. If you\u2019re a fan of the brand, particularly one based in Sydney, where the maison chose to launch its latest creation, this is a tempting way to mark 50 years of watchmaking from Raymond Weil.<\/p>\n

Enthusiasts who missed out on The Fifty will find this to be a watch that shares much of that earlier release\u2019s DNA, now adapted to a more contemporary and accessible package. With this launch following the recent success of its A.R.T line, 2026 is proving quite the year for this independent watchmaker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Readtime: 4 min Every product is carefully selected by our editors and experts.
