Raymond Weil Maestro Moonphase (Ref. 2839-STC-00209)At the upcoming Baselworld 2011 event, the Swiss watch brand will officially introduce its new Raymond Weil Maestro Moonphase (Ref. 2839-STC-00209) automatic watch.Available soon only in stainless steel, the model will be presented in a classic-looking mid-sized round case.Being 39.50 mm in diameter and only 10.50 mm in height, the watch looks quite slim and will certainly fit well under a normal shirt cuff, which makes it a good choice if you plan to wear it with formal attire.Its decorated dial features more or less standard layout with the sub-dial at 6 o’clock occupied by a simple calendar indicator and the moon phase display located between X and XI o’clock, closer to the chapter ring.According to the Swiss company, the watch will be powered by the caliber RW4500 automatic movement, which is based on a Sellita ebauche (probably, a modified SW200.)No info on pricing yet, but the watch will probably be relatively affordable.

To Support The Union for International Cancer Control �C Limited Edition of 34 Pieces The Union for International Cancer Control �C UICC �C and Raymond Weil have partnered to eliminate cancer as a life threatening disease for future generations. Each year, more than 11 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed, and about 8 million people die from this terrible disease, with 70% of them in low- and middle-income countries. More than 160,000 children aged 14 or under are diagnosed with cancer each year. Children with cancer in developing countries have less than 50% survival chances, as opposed to 80% for children in high-income countries. It is reassuring to note that between 30 and 40% of all cancers can be prevented, and one third can be cured with early diagnosis and subsequent treatment. The firm will offer the possibility to purchase online, and only in September of 2010, this Freelancer chronograph.
