Meet the Raymond Weil Freelancer GMT Green Watch
Wednesday - 11 January 2023
Perfect for globe trotters or those who frequently travel for business. The new Raymond Weil Freelancer GMT watch has a stunning gradient moss green dial with a rotating city disc that shows the prevailing hour in 24 cities
Anyone who has been collecting Raymond Weil watches for a while will tell you that the brand's freelancer watch collection is the most versatile series of all. It's the place to go to find an affordable timepiece, offering so many different styles from the simple three-handed models to the sporty chronographs to robust dive watches. Recently, Raymond Weil added another member to its diverse family. The Raymond Weil Freelancer GMT watch introduces a dual crown GMT tool to the line, with an internal rotating bezel and a sleek black silhouette. It takes on the signature shape of the Freelancer watch with a circular case and long angular, faceted lugs. Despite the introduction of a travel watch into the Freelancer collection, the model remains incredibly compact, measuring a 40mm diameter and sitting on the wrist at a height of 9.7mm.
The new Raymond Weil Freelancer GMT watch exudes a striking green dial colour. The design is geared towards those who frequently travel and to those wearers who juggle life in various regions of the world. It displays the prevailing hour in 24 time zones, yet remains slim and comfortable for wearing alongside smart or formal attire. Intrepid explorers and business travellers can make use of its legible display alongside an easy-to-use rotating track that is seamless to manipulate under the fingertips. This city disc sits adjacent to a 24-hour track, simultaneously indicating whether it is day or night.
The local time of the new Raymond Weil Freelancer GMT watch is represented by barrel-shaped hour and minute hands. By rotating the crown at 4 o’clock, the name of the local city adjacent to the hour can be perfectly positioned. The dial also features a crisp black GMT hand with a triangular red and white tip, pointing to the hour back at home. The lollipop second hand completes the entire dial, emanating in rich moss green tones. If the green version of the new Raymond Weil Freelancer GMT watch is too adventurous for you, the brand has also released the same model in a classic black colour – a dial option that is sure to accompany any kind of outfit and any kind of occasion. Its stainless steel case has been coated with black PVD for a sophisticated finish on the wrist. You can check that watch out here.
The new Raymond Weil Freelancer GMT watch in green features a stainless steel case with a bronze bezel that accompanies two bronze crowns. Exuding a military-chic persona, but with nods to a subtle vintage character, bronze is a case material that will develop its own patina over time, growing into its shoes as the years pass and taking on its own unique personality as it ages. Heightening the visual allure of this new model, the green dial of the new Raymond Weil Freelancer travel watch is the gradient type that darkens towards the edges of the display. To reference the time at night, the hands and hour markers on the dial are treated with a generous helping of Super-LumiNova.
Inside the case of the new Raymond Weil Freelancer GMT watch is the Calibre 3230. The Swiss-made movement has a power reserve of 50 hours and sits at a mere height of 4.1mm inside the model’s case. The lower part of its bridges is executed with a perlage decoration, whilst the barrel is snarled. The oscillating weight is embellished with the signature Cotes de Geneve decoration. Colour coordinated and matching the rich moss green tones of the dial, the new green Raymond Weil Freelancer GMT watch is fitted on a green calf leather strap with tone-on-tone stitching running down the sides of the band. To secure the strap in place, Raymond Weil has equipped this band with a stainless steel folding clasp with a security push button system and the famous Raymond Weil logo engraved upon its surface.
