Year of construction

Estimated year of construction: circa 2000s.
The Léman Réveil GMT belongs to the Blancpain Léman generation from the 2000s. Without dated documentation, an exact production year is not given.

Case

Round stainless steel case with predominantly polished finish.

The characteristic Léman case has curved lugs and a rounded, tiered bezel. Due to the different crowns and control elements, the watch has a distinctly technical character.

The case shows signs of wear and hairlines, with locally clearer superficial scratches on the polished sections. The shapes of the case and lugs remain clearly recognizable.

──────────────────

Crystal

The crystal has light scratches and superficial signs of wear.
These are especially visible under certain lighting conditions. The dial remains legible.

──────────────────

Dial

Black dial with:
- Large Arabic hour numerals
- Luminous hour markers
- Broad luminous hour and minute hands
- Central seconds hand
- Date window between 4 and 5 o’clock
- 24-hour/GMT indication
- Mechanical alarm display
- Small seconds/function display
- Minute track around the outer edge
- BLANCPAIN signature at 6 o’clock
- SWISS MADE indication

The various subdials and indicators are in the same dark color scheme, giving the watch a cohesive look despite the many functions.

Réveil / mechanical alarm function

One of the key features of this Blancpain is the mechanical alarm function.

Unlike an electronic alarm, the alarm signal is powered entirely by the movement. The alarm time can be set independently and the dial has its own indication for this.

This makes the Réveil GMT considerably more complex than a conventional automatic Léman.

──────────────────

GMT / second time zone

The watch also has a second time zone.

The 24-hour indication allows reading a second time and distinguishing between day and night hours. This is particularly practical when traveling or tracking a time zone elsewhere in the world.

──────────────────

Movement

Automatic mechanical Blancpain movement.

Through the transparent case back the movement is visible. The rotor bears Blancpain signature and the “JB 1735” logo. The movement features a refined high-quality finish with blued screws and decorative work on the rotor, bridges and plates.

The mechanical construction combines the normal time display with date, second time zone and alarm function.

Frequency: 28,800 vibrations per hour.

Timegrapher measurement

Measured deviation: +6 seconds per day
Amplitude: 295°
Beat error: 0.2 ms
Lift angle: 52.0°
Frequency: 28,800 A/h

The measured values show a neat amplitude and a small beat error at the time of testing.
A timegrapher measurement is a snapshot in one measurement position and does not constitute a guarantee of future accuracy or the full technical condition of the movement.

Case back

Transparent case back allowing the automatic Blancpain movement to be visible.
The rotor is equipped with:
BLANCPAIN
JB 1735 logo

Also visible are various movement markings and decorative finishes.

Crowns and operation

The Léman Réveil GMT has several separate controls for the different functions.
