Breguet Transatlantique Type XXI - Date change
Hi,
Can someone please confirm that the date change at midnight on this particular watch is a slow change over and not a quick date change?
I would have imagined it to have a quick date change considering its expense and brand name.
I am not refering to setting the date manually but the normal operation as the watch approaches midnight.
Thank you.

Yes, it's a slow change.
The movement is a classic lemania chronograph. There are probably some cheap watches with quick change dates, it's hardly the sine qua non of haute horology.
Thank you
Thank you for confirming this. I have an IWC XII that has a quick date change and I assumed all quality watches operated the same quick date change function. Live and learn ...
The funny part is that fans of horology wouldn't consider the IWC to be anywhere near the same league as the Breguet.
Someone will argue, there is always someone, but they are wrong.
IWC worked a lot to get out
from the top legaue and they succeed finally ,i can see some other brands efforts too.
There is a Pre-Kern-time at IWC !
IWC was an important part to create Lange&Söhne. IWC had the first wristwatch with Grand Complication, and this watch worked well. Not like the 1735 from White Bread, which comes later and never runs. IWC made the first well working calender perpetual, th...
Thank you for sharing some history of IWC, and a view of fondue!
Have a great weekend!
A little disappointing
Maybe I am being too fussy, but for a period of time prior to midnight the date window is ineligible and basically (not fit for purpose) whilst between the old and new date. Is this really the performance to be expected of a watch that retails at £8000 ? ...
Tired eyes
I work shifts from 10pm - 6am, very tiring and easy to forget the date. However I love this watch and will accept any minor idiosyncrasies that it has. At the end of the day...it is still a Breguet
I was going to say
Who cares? But seeing as you are awake and working during this time, I understand how annoying that could be. There's a no date version?
Yes, the 'No Date' Aeronavale
I have owned Aeronavale's but I prefer the Transatlantique, I find it is more engaging. ...
I can’t argue with you as I understand what you mean
I had this watch a few months ago and sold it but for a different reason. The bracelete did not have a micro adjustment and didn’t fit well.
You know the saying...
"Watching the date change is like watching your mother getting dressed. You know it is happening every day, but you don't want to see it" I also prefer instant date change, but completely agree with comments above that it is in no way a sign of a "good" o...
In agreement
Fantastic watch by the way - consider it's date behaviour part of its character and charm, not a flaw! Yes, I totally agree, much easier to accept now I know it is normal and not a fault
