Limited Edition Raymond Weil Millesime Chronograph Largo Winch: A Tribute To The Comic Book Hero
Raymond Weil has unveiled the limited edition Millesime Chronograph Largo Winch, a homage to the famous comic book series created by Belgian artist Philippe Francq in 1990. This striking timepiece pays tribute to the adventurous Yugoslav hero Largo Winch, who captivated readers across various countries.
The watch’s design features a captivating green panda dial, echoing the colour of dollar bills, a detail that connects to Winch’s wealthy persona in the series. Its 39.50mm stainless steel case boasts a polished finish, complemented by a brushed bezel and box-shaped sapphire crystal, offering durability and style. At 12.90mm thick and 46mm long, the watch presents a balanced and wearable size, with a water resistance of 50 meters.
The dial’s crosshair sector design highlights three green registers, arranged at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock for the 30-minute, 12-hour, and running seconds counters, respectively. The tachymetric scale around the dial shares the same green hue, adding a coherent aesthetic. Super-LumiNova fills the baton hour markers and hands, ensuring legibility in low-light conditions, while the chronograph centre seconds hand further enhances its functionality.
Turning the watch over, the exhibition case back reveals the automatic RW5030 movement, based on the reliable Sellita platform. This movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers an impressive 65-hour power reserve. A standout feature is the special decoration on the movement bridge, which depicts Largo Winch with the bag slung over his shoulder crossing Geneva’s iconic bridge, a nod to both the character and the brand’s Swiss heritage.
Limited to just 300 pieces, the Millesime Chronograph Largo Winch is priced at €3,895, which represents a slight premium compared to Raymond Weil’s regular collection. The watch comes with a grey leather strap and a steel pin buckle, making it a refined yet adventurous addition for collectors who appreciate both luxury timepieces and pop culture references.
