Putting on the new Raymond Weil 6800 Replica Maestro Cushion, I didn’t understand what to make of it. Do I like the watch? Does it look flattering around the wrist. The old TV screen-style case is a hit and miss historically as it seems to have made some watches nicer, while some not so nice at all. After looking at the Maestro Cushion on my wrist for some time, I think I like it. The price ain’t too bad either.
I am typically much pickier with my dress watches than I'm with sport watches. I don’t usually wear formal attire, and so i don’t usually wear a formal watch. When it comes to dress watches I have to really like them to feel inspired enough to put on them. I also feel that dress watches have to be very legible. Otherwise I won’t dare put them on. This 2021 Maestro Cushion increases the larger Maestro watch family and it is an appealing watch if you find use for this often enough in your preferred attire.
With all their operatic names (literally) I don’t understand why Raymond Weil Us Replica wouldn’t wish to give every new piece somewhat additional character.The title is nevertheless descriptive with regard to what’s unique about this particular piece. This is the first steel or ceramic Nabucco watch, but it’s the first one with an instance that employs both metals. Certain regions of the case are steel, while some are in ceramic. Why? Well it may sound cool. Additionally, there’s the chance to have some weight savings while still using steel for areas that Raymond Weil want to use with a high polish such as the bezel. Then the case side material could be titanium.Still in a hefty 46mm wide case (WR to 200 meters) the Nabucco sits large and proud about the wrist. It offers no apology because of its size or prestige. It’s a very American styled sports watch having a bold sentiment and snazzy persona. The combination of black and white with a dash of yellow on the dial is pleasant. Not super exceptional, but very pleasant. This Nabucco actually represents a rather cleaned up dial in contrast to ones using their company years. The facial skin is a smooth black without any texture, and emphasis is positioned on the markers and chronograph subdials.A major gap (if you want to call it that) is that the adoption of a Roman numeral 12 o’clock hour mark versus an Arabic one. The new marker appears nice and certainly ups the sophistication degree of this piece, but I have experienced that Roman numeral 12 before. Where? Right here around the Cartier Calibre watch. The watch includes a new minute mark track around the periphery of the dial. This time numbers they fit at five minute increments within the hour mark. That attribute can also be something which is on the Cartier Caliber dial. Raymond Weil has taken inspiration from Rolex and Cartier previously (along with some other brands) so that this really is expected. I do not obey the borrowing, however I like to detect it as it’s intriguing to determine what watches influence other watches.
Raymond Weil is among the few brands such as Frederique Constant that understand how to make a Swiss made dress watch that looks a lot more expensive than it is. These pieces are generally under $1,800 and offer a classic, yet refreshingly unconventional look. Given the cushion-shape, the cases feel larger than they are, which is 40mm x 40mm. There is one version in polished steel on the polished steel bracelet, and another version in PVD gold on the black leather strap.
Both styles of the Maestro Cushion are nice, though for me personally I would choose the gold-toned one on the strap. Mostly because the black strap contrasts using the case allowing for the shape to show prominently. Again, no one is buying this watch so that they can hide that cushion shape. The situation itself is water resistant to 50 meters and has a sapphire crystal within the dial.
