The self-winding Calibre 5939A comprising 379 parts measures 7.25 mm thick and 32 mm in diameter. In addition to keeping track of the varying month lengths and leap years involved in the Gregorian calendar without any need for adjustment until 2100, this movement powers small seconds and a large moon phase at 6 o’clock.
Its 42 mm-diameter case is equipped with Blancpain’s patented under-lug correctors. These four discreet and practical correctors serve to adjust the date and moon-phase indications without any need for a dedicated tool. The broad sapphire case-back reveals the meticulous finishing of the movement with its honeycomb-motif oscillating weight.
The white grand feu enamel dial displays broad painted hour-markers, well-spaced day and month indications with blued steel hands, as well as a large moon phase.
Crafted in 18K red gold and teamed with a chocolate brown alligator strap or a mille mailles mesh bracelet, this timepiece is also issued in a limited numbered platinum edition. It comes in a dedicated box equipped with a winder serving to keep the watch on time even when not in use.
