India : Nabucco Power Of Charisma

January 3, 2008

NABUCCO is the new exclusively masculine mechanical collection that was unveiled by RAYMOND WEIL at the recent BASELWORLD international watch fair.

This chronograph is the first model by the Geneva watchmaker to come with an imposing 46mm case, water-resistant to a depth of 200m that incorporates a high-tech material: carbon fibre.

A sturdy steel case 46mm in diameter. A black dial with check effect. A central zone in relief struck into the dial plate and adorned with 3 screws around the subdials.

An applique figure 12, and 11 polished and nickelled appliqué indexes with luminescent highlights for optimum legibility day and night. All with the latest contemporary colour scheme. That’s the new look NABUCCO with its unique charisma!

With its innovative form and original design, this mechanical self-winding chronograph, carved in steel, displays a 30-minute subdial at 3 o’clock, an hour-counter at 6 o’clock, and a 60-second subdial at 9 o’clock. The date, at 4:30, can be set by a separate push-button on the case at 10 o’clock.

The NABUCCO is powered by the Valjoux 7753 tri-compax chronograph movement in line with the standards of high-quality watchmaking (28 800 vibrations per hour – 46-hour power-reserve) and water-resistant to 200m thanks to its crown, push-buttons, screwed-down case-back, and 2.5mm double-sided anti-glare sapphire crystal.

There is a striking contrast between the steel and the carbon fibre – a resistant but ultra-light high-tech material used here on a RAYMOND WEIL model for the first time.
