Fifty years of independent, family-owned, Genevan watchmaking. A limited series of fifty timepieces shaped by craftsmanship and time. A historic calibre meticulously restored by hand. A vision preserved since 1976.

Since its founding in 1976, Raymond Weil has embodied a sincere, independent, family-run and accessible vision of Swiss watchmaking. To celebrate its half-century milestone, the Maison places mechanical watchmaking at the heart of its story. Conceived as a true workshop piece, The Fifty highlights watchmaking in its most authentic interpretation; manual craftsmanship, precision of expression and respect for traditional savoir-faire. Every component, surface, and detail has been worked by hand to reveal the depth and nobility of Swiss artistry.

Raymond Weil, 50 years of commitment to fine Swiss watchmaking

Founded in Geneva in 1976, Raymond Weil belongs to the small circle of Swiss watch brands that have remained independent and family-owned since their inception.

Passed down through three generations, the Maison continues to pursue a clear vision: making Swiss watchmaking accessible through elegant timepieces offered at a fair price.

For Fifty Years

Raymond Weil has cultivated a balance between tradition and modernity, creativity and discipline, emotion and craftsmanship. Deeply rooted in Geneva, the brand advocates a sincere, transparent and enduring approach to watchmaking, guided by respect for established codes and precision workmanship.

On the occasion of this anniversary, Raymond Weil unveils “The Fifty”, a creation conceived as a tribute to traditional Swiss watchmaking and its sophistication.

The Fifty: An Anniversary Piece, A Tribute to the Watchmaker’s Gesture

To celebrate this jubilee, Raymond Weil journeys to the very essence of classic Swiss chronographs. The Fifty expresses the Maison’s attachment to manual craftsmanship, traditional mechanics and the demanding level of finish that defines Swiss horological excellence.

In keeping with this heritage, the dial’s chromatic signature follows the aesthetic lineage of the millesime Small Seconds (winner of the 2023 GPHG Challenge Prize) whose subtle elegance is echoed here as a tribute to one of the Maison’s recent milestones.

At the heart of the watch beats an original Valjoux Calibre 23-6 from 1976, the brand’s founding year and a pivotal moment in Swiss watchmaking history. A historic column-wheel chronograph movement, it helped define the standards of the genre through its legibility, reliability and rational architecture.

This hand-wound mechanical movement operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers a 48-hour power reserve. Hours and minutes are centrally displayed, with a small-seconds at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock.

Each calibre has undergone a complete restoration and hand decoration. The chronograph bridges and balance cock are adorned in Côtes de Genève and treated in black ruthenium, creating a striking contrast with the blued screws. The anglage is executed entirely by hand, as are the mouldings surrounding the screws, whose framing is intentionally highlighted by their vivid blue finish. This interplay of volume and light enhances the depth of the movement and reveals, at every glance, the richness of its very being.

An Architectural Four-part Dial

Housed in a 37 mm steel case topped with a white gold bezel, The Fifty respects the historic proportions of manual-wound chronographs. The steel crown and restrained case lines reinforce the timeless elegance of the piece.

Limited to only 50 pieces, resonating with the Maison’s 50th anniversary, The Fifty embodies RAYMOND WEIL’s watchmaking expertise, its attachment to Swiss tradition and its ability to unite artisanal excellence with a contemporary vision.

The dial of The Fifty has been conceived as a true horological construction. Composed of four distinct parts, each element is finished separately to achieve superior levels of refinement before precision assembly. This architecture creates an immediate sense of depth, relief and visual richness characteristic of the millesime collection and inspired by neo-vintage design codes.

The rehaut, which supports the tachymeter scale, structures the dial and enhances functional legibility, elevated by a diamond-cut filet that adds sophistication. The area beneath the indexes features a grained texture, bringing crystalline volumes that subtly reflect light. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The central section is stamped with a “tapestry” motif composed of alternating gadroons inspired by the collection’s vertical satin finishing and central cross, capturing light while hosting Super-LumiNova®-treated indexes that affirm the contemporary character of the piece. This monobloc element is signed with a black transfer of the Raymond Weil logo and “EST. 1976”, subtly raised to elegantly catch light.

The sub-dials, produced separately, each benefit from dedicated finishes, colours and decorative treatments, reinforcing legibility. On the case back, the engravings “1976” and “2026” highlight both the founding year and the anniversary celebrated by this edition.

REACHING NEW HEIGHTS WITH THE FREELANCER PILOT FLYBACK CHRONOGRAPH

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Paying tribute to the Maison’s founder, the freelancer Pilot Flyback Chronograph blends mechanical excellence, vintage aesthetics and luxurious details.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Mr. Raymond Weil was passionate about watches, music and flying above Switzerland’s picturesque landscape in his beloved plane. Today, the passions of the Brand’s founder live on in his grandchildren, Elie Bernheim, CEO of RAYMOND WEIL and Pierre Bernheim, certified pilot himself, inspiring the family Brand to develop this limited edition timepiece.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Housed in a 42mm case, the steel surfaces are coated in grey PVD, providing an elegant and adventurous aesthetic. This vintage aviation theme extends to the onion-shaped crown, a design standard on pilot watches, and the brown leather strap with rivets, reminiscent of those found on aeroplanes. Limited to only 400 pieces, the timepiece’s design celebrates its exclusivity through a distinctive propeller motif engraved on the sapphire case back.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The automatic movement inside the timepiece is the RW5530, a flyback chronograph movement that allows a simultaneous reset and restart of the chronograph with a single pusher and has a 56h power reserve. This fully integrated movement features a column wheel and horizontal coupling, a configuration highly prized by watch aficionados. Its column wheel controls the start, stop and reset functions which, in this instance, are thermally-blued, enhancing corrosion resistance and heightening its visual allure. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The horizontal coupling indulges the wearer with views of the chronograph engaging and disengaging, a spectacle much loved by mechanical purists. The movement is adorned with perlage and Côtes de Genève motif. The W-shaped oscillating weight, the new horological signature of RAYMOND WEIL, and the blued column wheel are visible through the engraved case back.

Baton style hour and minute hands sit above a deep green dial with applied Arabic numerals. Arrow-shaped indexes at 3 and 9 o’clock pay tribute to pilots’ watches of the past, while the richly textured hour is reminiscent of the tarmac. The hands and hour markers feature Super-LumiNova®, aiding readability in restricted light conditions. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The central chronograph seconds hand is presented in bright yellow, a colour that is repeated on the 30-minute chronograph register. The 2-counter design provides a symmetrical and harmonious layout while the dial is encircled with a crisp white track aiding read-off.
