Column wheel makes less sense with an automatic calibre, doesn't it?

Three generations of the Breguet Marine Chronograph
Is older better? Best, Emmanuel A/ Ref. 5029F in Steel & Yellow Gold (2001) 35.5 mm & Automatic Calibre 576 credit: watch club London B/ Ref. 5827BB in White Gold (2009) 42 mm & Automatic 583 Q/1 credit: 41 Watch (1-8) & @ChickenNuggetDeluxe on reddit...
I was just asking the question!
My answer is more nuanced because I love the "nautilus" rotor and strong design of gen 2. But gen 1 would be more suited to my wrist and I like it very much too. Best, Emmanuel
The 1st gen seems better...,
but I much prefer their classique chronographe, especially the 5247BB with enamel dial.
Yes, I like it very much too.
Here, I wanted to shed some light on the Marine line, which doesn't get the credit it deserves, imo. The 5247 is taking all the light (deservedly, but it's overshadowing the Marine line). Best, Emmanuel
For me the 2nd generation anytime
While I love the classic dial of the 1st one, its crown guard ruins the appearance in my eyes. The dial suggest a classic marine observation watch, with no luminosity, but the long crown and its useless guards (any blow they could protect the crown from w...
Like you, I like the 2nd gen and dislike the 3rd.
But I also find the 1st appealing and I personally like the long crown and crown guards. That said, the “nautilus” rotor of the 2nd gen and the guilloche dial, as well as the strong design are very appealing to me. Thanks for having shared your thoughts. ...
the first is the most beautiful but too small
36, could even be 35,8 38-39-40 would have been much better
Yes, a little larger would be better.
But I also like like some elements of gen 2 quite a bit (the nautilus rotor in particular!). Best, Emmanuel
Older IS better, quattro!
As I say in the mirror each morning. ;-) Quite like the two-tone version here (and I don't always like two-tone pieces).
I like it very much too,
but also like some elements of the gen 2 quite a lot, the nautilus rotor, in particular. Best, Emmanuel
They are all beautiful Breguet Marines.
For me the gen 2 in white gold looks the best and has the features on the dial and movement I appreciate the most. Marc
I like the 2nd gen very much too.
The "nautilus" rotor, in particular, but other elements too. I also like the gen 1 too, though. Best, Emmanuel
Yes, I must say that this two-tone configuration
is particularly attractive for me too. Best, Emmanuel
