Raymond Weil Freelancer Calibre RW1212 Skeleton Automatic Watch, 38mm 2783-ST-50000

For the first time, the freelancer Calibre RW1212 Skeleton is housed in a 38mm stainless steel case, showcasing Raymond Weil’s innovative spirit and modern approach to watchmaking. The brand’s commitment to innovation is evident in the openworked dial, which draws attention to the balance wheel at 6 o’clock, revealing the intricate beauty of the watch’s construction and underscoring Raymond Weil’s mastery in horology.
This two-handed model is powered by the Calibre RW1212, in-house developed self-winding mechanical movement, that beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 41-hour power reserve. The Calibre RW1212 features a new sunray brushed finish, coated in black ruthenium. This model is the first freelancer skeleton watch to feature the iconic W-shaped oscillating weight, new horological signature of the brand.
The skeletonized movement enhances transparency and depth, focusing attention on the balance wheel at 6 o’clock—a testament to the technical ingenuity behind this exclusive in-house developed caliber. The Raymond Weil logo is positioned on the blue flange, now treated with Super-Luminova to complement the hands, which also feature the same luminescent treatment.
Special care has been taken with the color balance of this timepiece. The bridge is finished in black ruthenium, while the rhodium-plated and steel movement components echo the stainless-steel case. Gold accents on the movement wheels as well as on the balance wheel complete the harmonious, refined design.
The stainless steel bracelet adds a touch of urban sophistication, elevating the watch’s modern appeal. It is equipped with a double-push security system folding clasp, while the screw-down crown, embossed with the RW monogram, adds a refined finishing touch.
