Freelancer Chronograph Bi-Compax Limited Edition Mens Watch 7780-B1-20422

Inspired by the open road and a customised motorbike crafted by the artisans of Meister Engineering, RAYMOND WEIL unveils the new freelancer bronze chronograph 7780. An eye-catching vintage-inspired watch, this new model will get your heart racing. Modelled on a two-wheel work of art by Meister Engineering, the chronograph 7780 features a textured 43.5mm bronze case and two bronze counters on the black smoked dial. Taking inspiration from the motorcycle’s engraved tank cap, the tachymeter and pulsometer are situated on the watch’s satin-finished ceramic bezel insert and flange. Even the freelancer’s rich brown calf leather strap has been inspired by the motorbike’s leather-clad seat. The symmetrical bi-compax layout features a 30-minute chronograph counter and a small seconds display. The hour track is snailed, while the hands and indexes feature luminescent treatment, augmenting readability in restricted light. A date display is positioned at 6 o’clock, once again contributing to the overall symmetry of the dial. With time, the bronze will mature and form a patina, heightening the overall sense of elegance. To the rear of the watch, the case back is presented in stainless steel. The movement, the Calibre RW5030, is visible via the exhibition caseback. A further attribute of this automatic movement is that, assuming the mainspring is fully wound, the watch will run autonomously for 56 hours.
