For the first time in its Blancpain Villeret replica Collection, Blancpain will offer a grande (big) date complication. The watch uses Blancpain’s caliber 6950 which employs two side-by-side windows to display the date. The cal 6950 is not a new caliber; it has been used in 40mm ladies’ grande dates models, the Aqua Lung Grande Date, and most recently the Blancpain L-Evolution Grande Date.
Aside from the new date window, this new replica Blancpain Villeret Grande Date timepiece fits keeps with the Blancpain’s Villeret collection’s thin, stepped bezel, elegantly shaped Roman numerals, and overall understated refined design.When Blancpain’s watchmakers conceived the caliber 6950, they had as their objective to maximize legibility of the date, while at the same time enabling an instant change at midnight. It is an automatic movement with two mainspring barrels and a free sprung balance with silicium hair spring and gold regulation screws, providing 72 hrs power reserve.
