The Raymond Weil Freelancer Chronograph gets high marks for its clean classical design, and very appealing displays. One of the most attractive recently introduced watches that uses the time-proven Valjoux 7750 automatic movement, the Freelancer Chronograph succeeds on many levels. At a very attractive price point, this Raymond Weil timepiece gives you a nicely sized 42mm case with pleasing, classic lines (seemingly inspired by the TAG Heuer Carrera watches), and a beautiful dial with some dashing accents of color and polished metal. Everything fits together harmoniously–a virtue that is quite refreshing, as wacky aesthetics become more and more commonplace in the luxury watch marketplace.
The Freelancer Chronograph should be a real success for Raymond Weil. It is sure to be especially popular with watch lovers looking for good value, as well as younger buyers who are shopping for their first nice mechanical watch.
