The anniversary watch puts the family owned Swiss brand’s independence into a compact automatic chronograph rather than a simple commemorative dial.

Raymond Weil’s Millesime Jubilee is a 500 piece bi compax chronograph marking the brand’s 50th anniversary. In Raymond Weil’s announcement, the company traces its origins to Geneva in 1976 and frames the anniversary around three generations of family ownership and independence.

This isn’t just an anniversary logo exercise. It follows “The Fifty,” introduced earlier this year, offering collectors a more conventional mechanical proposition: a 39 mm stainless steel case, 12.9 mm thickness, and an automatic RW5030 chronograph caliber with a 62 hour power reserve visible through a sapphire caseback.

The dial is light blue with two midnight blue sub dials, black Super LumiNova indexes with green emission, and obelisk shaped hands under a sapphire glassbox crystal. Water resistance is 50 meters.

The watch, ref. 7776 STC 65501, is priced at 3,895 CHF for 500 pieces per the product page.

What collectors will note: a stated caliber, a hard production cap, a published reference, and a price set by the brand. In a year built around Raymond Weil’s independence story, the Jubilee gives that story a tangible, mechanical shape.
