Raymond Weil Don Giovanni Cosi Grande Chronograph ref. 4875 – Handmade strap & Branded buckle

Raymond Weil is a well-known (albeit somewhat underrated) Swiss brand that got its start in 1976. The manufacturer is widely recognized for offering quality that is rarely surpassed at the price point, which in turn has earned them a legion of devoted followers. As they say, affordable doesn’t always have to mean cheap, and few watches make that as apparent as does the Raymond Weil Don Giovanni Chronograph.
The ref. 4875 comes equipped with a well-crafted rectangular steel case that measures at the contemporary 38 mm x 48 mm. It’s by no means small, yet it still wears well on smaller wrists – partly because of its curved profile and partly thanks to its tapered strap. The latter is not original to the watch but a custom remake of the OEM Don Giovanni Strap. The model gets its name from the eponymous Opera by Mozart, and its design aims to reflect the balanced brilliance of the Classical composer’s work. The dial features three symmetrical subdials and is adorned with slanted Roman numeral applied indices, which complement the aggressive sword-shaped hands. It also features a date display at 12 o’clock – a rather unusual place for one – and showcases a delicate texture in its inner segment, which adds a feeling of depth.
The Don Giovanni Cosi Grande Chronograph is powered by the cal. RW 7200 – a version of the ETA cal 2892-A2 modified and decorated by Raymond Weil. The movement is currently ticking per spec.
Our offering is in very good condition, comes with the warranty card and booklet, the original box (poor condition), and is outfitted with a handmade remake of the OEM Don Giovanni Strap.

The watch is covered by 1 year of limited warranty from ChronoTimepieces.
