The RAYMOND WEIL nabucco range, renowned for its stylish design, now offers a new titanium version known as NABUCCO VA, PENSIERO. Retaining the powerful architecture showcased in grey-grained graphite, this new model remains true to the collection’s creative values and mythical forms.
The nabucco Va, Pensiero – named after the famous Verdi chorus – exudes the same power and nobility as the great Italian composer’s opera. Its sophisticated materials, watchmaking precision and alluring design evoke an urban, revolutionary world, making this new timepiece a symbol of freedom and independence.
With its sober 46mm‐diameter case, and round bezel with tachometric scale set into the titanium, it is exceptionally resilient and water‐resistant.
Three subdials (30 minutes at 3 o’clock, 12 hours at 6 and small seconds at 9), along with a date‐window at 4:30, are set in grey on a central zone featuring three screws for optimal time‐reading, and harmoniously integrated indexes highlighted in luminescent anthracite.
An ETA 7753 tri‐compax movement, with automatic winding and 28,800 vibrations per hour, ensures the precision and reliability of each timepiece
This masculine chronograph with its screwed‐down push‐pieces, crown and case‐back, is waterproof to a depth of 660ft (20 bars/atm). It comes with a saddle‐stitched crocodylus niloticus leather strap with double push‐piece security.
