ReviewShine Bright With The Raymond Weil Shine Oval—The Perfect Accessory From Day To Night

Raymond Weil has had an array of ladies’ collections over the decades, including the hugely successful Noemia and Jasmine series. Among these, the one that’s been shining the brightest in recent years has been the Shine range. The Shine collection from Raymond Weil has been enthralling women with classic and timeless designs over the years.

Introduced in 2006, the highlight of Shine watches has been the patented interchangeable bracelet system that they incorporate. Last year’s Shine Etoile edition presented a resplendent line of timepieces with and without gemstones, and with a choice in easily interchangeable straps.

A Glowing New Edition

At Baselworld 2018, among the ladies watches unveiled, the Raymond Weil Shine Oval truly stood out, owing simply to its interesting new oval shape and, of course, the ease and convenience of the interchangeable bracelets and straps. The replacement of the strap can be achieved by merely a click of a button and the rotation of a disc on the caseback, which helps release the bracelet from the case.

A Radiant Look

The oval case, measuring an elegant 42mm by 29mm comes in stainless steel, is fitted with 32 full-cut diamonds. Powered by a quartz movement, its features include hours and minutes, indicated via central hands in blue seen through the sapphire crystal glass on a silver dial.

While the crown is in polished steel, fluted with a blue sapphire, the indices are in black Roman numerals. Even though one doesn’t require a great water resistance with a dress watch of this nature, the case of the Oval Shine is water resistant to a more than satisfactory depth of 50m.

An ever-expanding offering, the Shine watch just multiplies the possibilities of what your look can be. From a conference to cocktails, or from a brunch to a soirée, this is your ideal day-to-evening accessory. With this watch, Raymond Weil proves yet again that they have a lot to offer with their variety of timepieces for men and women alike, all the while embodying a traditional Swiss watchmaking culture.
