Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate Power Reserve 6606-3642-55B

About This Watch

The Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate with power reserve indicator adds a useful complication to the ultra-thin platform, displaying remaining power reserve on a discreet indicator at the back of the movement visible through the caseback. The caliber 1150's remarkable 100-hour power reserve means the indicator rarely drops below the halfway mark during normal wear. The white dial with Roman numerals and the double-stepped bezel maintain the pure Villeret aesthetic. At just 7.7mm thick, this remains one of the slimmest automatic watches with a substantial power reserve available from any manufacture. The 40mm rose gold case follows the wrist contour with a gentle curve at the lugs, ensuring the watch lies flat and comfortable. The twin-barrel configuration of the caliber 1150 achieves the extended power reserve within the ultra-thin dimensions. For the wearer who appreciates knowing the state of the mainspring but doesn't want it to clutter the dial, the caseback power reserve display is an elegant solution. This watch embodies Blancpain's philosophy of sophisticated simplicity.
