While Blancpain’s more tool-oriented watches, like the Fifty Fathoms, tend to occupy the spotlight, today, we’re taking a look at something more on the classic end of the brand’s offerings with the Villeret Quantième Complet. This model is 40mm in steel and features a large moon phase at six o’clock, day and month windows at twelve, and details the date via the blue serpentine-style hand and the printed date track underneath the indices. This piece is powered by the in-house 6654.4 Automatic Calibre with a 72-hour power reserve, which can be seen in action through the exhibition caseback.

At the tail end of last year, Longines debuted a titanium and carbon-clad iteration of its Ultra-Chron diver, which pays tribute to the brand’s 1968 high-frequency dive watch.

The SBGM221 is 39.5mm (46.9mm lug-to-lug) and powered by the brand’s Caliber 9S66 automatic movement with manual winding, which can be seen in action through the exhibition caseback.
