Six months after selling all fifty pieces of The Fifty within days of its launch at Watches & Wonders 2026, Raymond Weil has returned with a second chapter. The Millesime Jubilee carries the same anniversary architecture into a production of 500 watches at CHF 3,895, broadening access to the celebration without diluting its watchmaking rationale. As CEO Elie Bernheim states in the press release: “Priced at CHF 3,895, it offers a more accessible way to honour the Maison’s fiftieth anniversary, while retaining the horological substance, meticulous attention to detail and aesthetic depth that defined its predecessor.”
The Story Behind It
Raymond Weil was founded in Geneva in 1976 and is today led by Elie Bernheim, the founder’s grandson. The Jubilee concept grew directly from The Fifty’s reception: fifty watches, each powered by a restored and hand-decorated Valjoux 23-6 calibre dating from 1976, in a 37 mm case with a white-gold bezel. Their rapid sell-out gave the family-owned maison a clear signal to continue the story at a broader scale and a more characteristic price point.
Design & Mechanics
The 39 mm stainless steel case, 12.9 mm thick, positions the Jubilee squarely within the neo-vintage register that defines the award-winning Millesime collection. A double-sided anti-reflective sapphire glassbox crystal adds optical depth to the dial. The RW5030 movement is a self-winding bi-compax chronograph with running seconds at 9 o’clock and a minute counter at 3 o’clock. Its 62-hour power reserve covers more than two and a half days of continuous wear, and the movement is fully visible through the snap-on sapphire caseback.
On the Wrist
The four-part dial construction gives the Jubilee more visual layering than its price point typically suggests. A silver-toned opaline ring frames the hour markers; an azure-finished rehaut sits beneath it; the two midnight-blue sub-dials anchor the chronograph layout; and the light blue central disc carries a gadroon finish with the applied “EST 1976” cartouche. Green-glowing Super-LumiNova® coats both the index markers and the obelisk-shaped hands, ensuring legibility across Gulf daylight and evening settings alike. The midnight-blue calfskin strap ties the palette together and is secured with a pin buckle.
Where It Sits in the Line-Up
At CHF 3,895, the Jubilee occupies a position that few Swiss mechanical chronographs can match for completeness of specification. Against The Fifty’s deliberately exceptional format, it trades the white-gold bezel and historic Valjoux calibre for contemporary steel, a modern in-house-derived movement, and a production run large enough to reach collectors across Europe and the Middle East. The Legacy Tour continues to Singapore and then Paris; for collectors who follow the tour, Sydney marks the first opportunity to see the piece in the metal before its broader retail availability.
