Look at this one: Credit picture; Jatuka. How many were made? I don't really know... But if you hunt one, you are luckier playing at the lottery than finding one. Imagine that watch with a 39 / 40 mm case. Without date. With a nice automatic movement ( ma...

Now I realize now Bréguet picked the ‘date window’ habit so long ago it continues ruining beautiful enamel dials in 2019 🤐

He he he... They should listen to us, more often. [nt]

Plexy or domed sapphire, indeed. Thanks for voicing in, my friend. [nt]

It makes me want to petition Breguet for it!

I knew that would be coming... ;) [nt]

By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : February 20th, 2019-15:57

That would make a great PuristS Edition..

without the date window... who’s in ?

You see, I can also play my little Devil... [nt]

And

By: tactictac : February 20th, 2019-14:58

How many were made of this one ? 1941 ...

Beautiful vintage style 👍 [nt]

By: Cpt Scarlet : February 20th, 2019-15:02

Do you have more informations on this one? Obviously a manual winding movement, relatively small case... Military? [nt]

By: amanico : February 20th, 2019-15:35

Yes "ragazzaccio"

By: tactictac : February 20th, 2019-15:40

Manual 31mm radium. Military built in 1941.

For what army? [nt]

By: amanico : February 20th, 2019-15:43

Breguet did not give me any explanations... [nt]

By: tactictac : February 20th, 2019-15:51

Any picture of the case back? Something engraved? [nt]

By: amanico : February 20th, 2019-15:52

Nothing. [nt]

By: tactictac : February 20th, 2019-16:14

So, probably more military style than military? [nt]

By: amanico : February 20th, 2019-16:15

Probably, or a small series of Essay, personally I’ve never seen others... [nt]

By: tactictac : February 20th, 2019-16:18

I am definitely in. [nt]

By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : February 20th, 2019-15:53

Cool! Now we have to convince Breguet... Tough game! [nt]

By: amanico : February 20th, 2019-15:53

I have faith in you! 🙏 [nt]

By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : February 20th, 2019-15:58

You are way too kind! [nt]

Let us know if we can help in any way! [nt]

Do you have a screwdriver and a hammer ? [nt]

By: Cpt Scarlet : February 21st, 2019-01:00

And some spare parts! ;) [nt]

By: amanico : February 21st, 2019-01:44

I will add them to my shopping list [nt]

That would be a great contender for the Fifty Fathoms! [nt]

Cool vintage diver.

By: VMM : February 21st, 2019-07:07

A re-issue a la Seamaster 300 1957 would be fantastic. Super class on the wrist, no doubt. Thanks. Vte

That's clear! [nt]

By: amanico : February 21st, 2019-07:18

I have a new crush

By: sentarex : March 20th, 2019-20:18

I really want to add a round hour marker watch, made so popular by Rolex, in something that really speaks to me. Always impressed with your vast horological knowledge.

You are too kind, but we learn every day, or almost! That Vintage Breguet Diving Watch will be hard to find, I fear... [nt]
