Notable Features And Iterations

The Raymond Weil Freelancer collection stands out for its sophisticated design and exceptional features.

The Freelancer GMT is designed to offer a comfortable fit while simultaneously displaying time across 24 time zones. It boasts a dual-crown system for managing time functions and a GMT hand for tracking different time zones. The Freelancer GMT Worldtimer, on the other hand, integrates a rotating city disc and a 24-hour scale to efficiently track global times. Freelancer Basquiat is a bold, colourful collaboration inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat's iconic artwork, featuring a bi-compax chronograph, skeleton dial, and a special presentation box. The watch's centrepiece is a dinosaur wearing a crown, depicted in Basquiat's famous 1984 painting "Pez Dispenser." The Freelancer Jimi Hendrix model is inspired by Hendrix’s 1968 Fender Stratocaster, incorporating intricate design details that appeal to music aficionados and watch enthusiasts. Additionally, the Freelancer AC/DC edition pays homage to the legendary band with its distinctive logo and rock-inspired design elements. For diving enthusiasts, the Freelancer Diver’s models feature a scratch-resistant ceramic bezel, a black dial with luminous Super-Luminova® markers, and water resistance up to 300 metres.

Mechanisms That Define Precision

The Freelancer collection is distinguished by its advanced mechanisms and practical features. It includes the reliable Sellita SW260 mechanical automatic movement, which provides a robust 38-hour power reserve and is featured in several models.
