The Raymond Weil Freelancer Automatic uses silver and 18-karat gold-plated stainless steel on the case and bracelet. The color combination carries throughout, as the fixed bezel and hour markers are also 18-karat gold-plated. A silver dial uses a grid pattern and features a date display at 4 o'clock. The back of the case is see-through to show off the automatic movement inside.
