Leman grande dates: is the Military version available?
I know from the Watch Time article, as well as seeing them in person, the white and black dials are available. It was my understanding that this "military" dial version was to be released around the same time. Am I correct?
Also, I think i read where the power reserve is around 65 hours or so, due to the big date complication; this picture of it (maybe a prototype/mock-up) clearly states 100 hours. Any info on this? thanks!

this doesn't add up
Hi Magnus, I know you and I have been over this before, but this info just doesn't add up. How can Breguet make the same movement running at 28,800 vph run for 65 hours? If the new big date mechanism is so sophisticated, why would it eat up some 30% of th...
Guaranteed vs actual power reserve...
I phoned with Blancpain Switzerland today and asked the question about the striking difference in the effect of the Grande Date mechanism in the Blancpain and Breguet implementation of the same mechanism (remember: Blancpain, using the 21.600bph version, ...
