Raymond Weil Parsifal gold and steel

I got this watch and I love it. And I love the fact that it is from any independent manufacturer.

The case is made of steel and has a gold plated bezel, crown, crown guard and links.

The case is 41mm and has integrated bracelet. The watch is 6mm thin.

The crown has a blue spinel similar to Cartier.

This watch is no longer in production and it is a reissue of a collection - Parsifal - of 1991.

This watch contains a lot of 90s vibes with its intricate looks.

It has a lot of elements of an earlier collection - Amadeus - from 1983.

The bracelet is quite remarkable! It is confortable and has a cross pattern making reference to the knights of the Holy Grail and the story of Parsifal from Richard Wagner.

This watch is a quartz, but there are older models with automatic movements. However I prefer it as a quartz, because the original one (of 1991) was lauched with a quartz.

I dont know the quartz calibre name, but I questioned the company to give me that information.

I believe there is nothing like this in the market. The most similar one that I can think is the Tudor Royal (the new one).

Thank you. Yep, it is really thin. Yes, it is a very underrated brand. I believe that their brand as it relies on ETA or Sellita calibers, they focus more on the finishing, and that it is truly visible, as I own more expensive watches and they lack the finishing that this RW has.
