Blancpain revisited one of its most emblematic timepieces: the Villeret Extra-plate.
Elegant and discreet, the new iteration of this classic model is even thinner than its predecessors. In fact, the 40 mm case, available in stainless steel or in 18-carat red gold, is just 7.40 mm thick.
Framed by a rounded double-stepped bezel, the luminous dial - opaline for the gold model or white for the steel one - is enhanced by stylish hands crafted in the shape of cut-out sage leaves sweeping around the applied Roman numeral hour-markers crafted in gold or steel, depending on the model.
Not only thinner, the new model further improved reliability and running efficiency of the hand-wound 11A4B Manufacture movement (based on the renowned 1150 calibre) which now offers four days of autonomy driven by two series-coupled barrels and equipped with high-performance hairsprings.
This construction enables a constant energy pulse, guaranteeing precision from the first hours of operation through to the final minutes.
The new model hides a power-reserve indicator on the back side to preserve the simplicity of the dial, a detail that will be appreciated by many purists.
Protected by a sapphire case-back, the movement is beautifully finished with bridges featuring the traditional Côtes de Genève motif and bevelled edges.
