At the recent edition of Baselworld 2018Blancpainpresented theVilleret Quantième Complet GMT, a new design of the legendary GMT Complete Calendar complication that the manufacturer presented in 2002, improved with the acclaimed correctorsBlancpainunder the handles.
The Complete Calendar and the phases of the moon have been emblematic complications of this watchmaking brand for some decades now. Good proof of this is the Villeret collection, which includes a Complete Calendar and indicates the day of the week and month in two windows located at 12 o'clock. A blue steel serpentine hand indicates the date and the moon phases can be seen in a window located at 6 o'clock. To top it all off, the GMT function can be displayed thanks to an extra needle ending in a red triangle.
This new version, theVilleret Quantième Complet GMT, presenta todos los avances técnicos que Blancpainhas developed in recent years. It integrates, for example, a movement with a silicon hairspring, a material that has considerably increased the quality of chronometry performance thanks to the absence of magnetism it offers.
As we have already mentioned, the correctors are located on the lugs, allowing you to correct the date, day, month and moon phases with a press of your finger. On the other hand, the manipulation of the second time zone and the time setting are carried out from the crown.
You will find theVilleret Quantième Complet GMTin two versions: in steel with a white dial and in red gold with an opaline dial. In both designs, the color of the leaf-shaped indexes and hands perfectly matches the color of the 40 mm case with the “doublé ponme” bezel, characteristic of the collection. The strap also offers two versions: metal bracelet or alligator strap.
