Powered by an automatic winding mechanism, the new chronograph offers a 46-hour power reserve, with reliability guaranteed by a regulating organ of 28 800 vibrations per hour. A total of 27 rubies on the movement further optimize the time-keeping function.

The subdials �C 12-hour subdial at 6, 30-minutes at 3, and 60-seconds at 9 �C have Boston hands that chart the passing time with pinpoint precision. The easy-to-read date-window is at 4:30, with push-button date-set at 10 o'clock.The independent family Swiss watchmaker, who strives for perfection in the tiniest detail, has lavished meticulous attention on producing the nabucco titanium.

The upper part, with tachometer, is in circular brushed steel, while the exterior has alternating polished 'godron d��cor' and brushed vertical bands.All these elements are perfectly integrated with the case, which plays on the nuances between steel and titanium, reflecting the strength of nabucco's unique style. The bracelet, with alternating links of polished steel and brushed titanium, ends with the RW signature folding-clasp, with double push-piece security. This solid yet flexible mechanism ensures the bracelet fits snugly to the wrist for maximum user comfort.This perfect balance between technology and design reflects RAYMOND WEIL's tremendous watchmaking tradition. Distinctive, powerful and determinedly masculine, the nabucco titanium is destined for a new generation of strong-minded men - confident in their own style and appearance.
