An exceptional jewel, elegant and audacious, the freelancer Lady Urban Black makes its remarkable entrance into the RAYMOND WEIL collection. A watch with an “all black” appearance, it continues the fantasy by matching the black diamonds on its bezel with the black PVD coating of its case. This ultra-feminine piece of watchmaking is a fusion of horological know-how, and the play between its materials and the magic of the black diamond charms its audience with its off-beat urban look.

At first glance, the Freelancer Lady Urban Black captivates by its distinctive appearance - both complex and mysterious. The completely black watch fully exploits the interplay of the materials composing it: the light reflecting on the various elements gives it a form and volume progressing from anthracite grey to a deep black. RAYMOND WEIL pushes chic and elegance to the limit: even the 86 diamonds set on the bezel and horns of this watch-jewel are black.

Audacity? For the first time, the Swiss watchmaking Brand is offering a feminine timepiece in black PVD. Thus, the steel of the 38mm diameter case and the folding clasp of the freelancer Lady Urban Black are covered in this coating. Like the rest of the watch, the dial, the Arabic numeral indexes, the hands and the sharkskin-style leather strap of this urbane article are black. The automatic winding mechanical movement, visible through an opening at 12 o’clock, is the only exception.

« So chic, so black », the freelancer Lady Urban Black provides its own interpretation of the urban style.

VULCAIN - Nautical DLC Edition


VULCAIN - Nautical DLC Diver Regulator/Alarm Limited Edition NEW

PLUNGING BACK INTO THE LEGEND

The mid-20th century witnessed the invention of the regulator, serving to balance the pressure between the diver’s lungs and the compressed air reserves. This invention boosted the spread of scuba diving and the emergence of instruments designed to accompany sports enthusiasts.

In 1961, Vulcain presented one of the first diver’s watches with an alarm movement that was genuinely audible under water: the Nautical. Its strike represents a precious function which – thanks to its triple case-back serving as a resonance chamber – effectively warns divers that it is time to return to the surface. In 2013, Vulcain pays tribute to this legendary model by creating a DLC limited edition
 
DLC COATING 

This highly durable, charcoal grey layer with a low friction coefficient consists of an atomic lattice composed of the two forms of carbon: diamond (sp³) and graphite (sp²). Diamondblack™DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) is applied using a coating process which faithfully mirrors the original surface finishes. Diamondblack™DLC consists solely of molecules of carbon and hydrogen arranged in a structure similar to that of diamond, producing a layer with excellent chemical stability and high corrosion resistance.

Its proven biocompatibility enables prolonged contact with the skin without causing irritation. It has a very high level of hardness, around 5,000 Vickers, compared to stainless steel, approximately 200 Vickers. This high-tech coating is used in the aerospace industry and in any application in which wear-resistance and a low friction coefficient are essential.
