Oh dear. The date is really 😞
Date, size, etc

I’m floored by this. Breguet has a pre-organized focus group of die-hard Type XX fans on this platform and others. It is a simple thing for its design and marketing team to consult with its supporters. And yet they put out something wildly out of touch. C...
Makes no sense

Their whole product line is priced in a way that does not compute... The Tradition is insanely nice for the $ for example, and then $18k for this...
That was my sticking point too!
By: BigFatPauli : June 7th, 2023-01:09
I can, literally, get a solid gold Breguet for that. With no messy date window to boot!

The initial post is of the Civilian Type XX
By: Mach : June 6th, 2023-21:54
Here’s the military. The hands are a thousand times better. I would have pulled the trigger until I saw the date! Side by side (apologies - none of these photos are great): ...

One less thing to worry about...
By: ifraher : June 6th, 2023-21:59
Trying to acquire. Huge miss, date is an obvious culprit, but there are at least 5 design flaws on first pass that make it a no for me, the previous bi-compax Type XX was also questionable... a shame considering the potential

I’m curious to learn more about the movement.
By: quattro98 : June 6th, 2023-23:16
According to SJX, it isn’t the same as the Blancpain F385. A new chronograph from Lemania/Manufacture Breguet is cool. The lack of a jumping minutes is interesting, I wonder if it’s a revision of an existing movement or something brand new.
Such language, John!
By: TheMadDruid : June 7th, 2023-16:43
I am shocked! Shocked that language like this is going on!
Phewf!

Stupid me!
In agreement.

I was expecting something like the Only Watch. Guess it was just wishful thinking. 42 mm is so 2014🫠 They can do it and still they don’t. I’m on my way to the Breguet reception in Bourget Airport. Let’s see what they have to say to the community’s ice col...
By: phil647 : June 7th, 2023-05:39
I'm less eager to go to the reception in Le Bourget now but I will, for the nice lunch and the gifts, indeed to hear what the team says about the comments of the fans. Also want to know what will come next, which could somewhat correct some of the design ...
Is this for real 🤣
By: TeutonicCarFan : June 7th, 2023-01:53
Big miss. I mean the hands , the date (a date that cuts into the Arabics 😅😭), it just doesn't work. Too bad I was hoping they would knock it out of the park to get Breguet some attention and buzz.
I admire Breguet as a brand that CAN make beautiful watches, but .....
By: Moka-Tiger (Ron) : June 7th, 2023-01:57
can't warm up to this one. Hands, I can deal with. Lume I can deal with. Size, I like big watches so 42mm is good for me. One thing that I dislike on watches are dates/date windows. They usually are eyesores on beautifully designed watch dials. But this, ...
Jeeeepers
By: Esharp : June 7th, 2023-02:00
Just looking at the subdial placement, what is this, 55mm? All the proportions look way off. No need to comment on the date, everyone else has already! Best E.
Breguet’s Code 59…
By: Blue and White : June 7th, 2023-02:46
Terribly done. The oversized subdial at 3 o’clock eating into the numerals and the hands are most irritating. Case size and pricing don’t make it better.

First Apple’s headset then this one day apart!
By: Uncle Chico : June 7th, 2023-07:09
Glad I found a 3800 at nearly half the price. The description for the 2057/67 mentions a sapphire case back. I imagine the larger size, new movement and case back justify the price increase. Rolex did something similar when it discontinued the Cellini and...
Disappointing - The Type XX was nerfed...
By: jmpTT : June 7th, 2023-07:24
Releasing a watch that is an emotional letdown for the Purist is one way to generate passionate community engagement. Great job, Breguet. These 2023 iterations of the Type XX will not be remembered as the best of the line, but they're not awful either. Th...
I like what you said here.
By: pptraveltime : June 8th, 2023-23:11
They dare to be different and made an advanced movement. I respect that.
Very cruel, Count.

I still could see in my 40s and 50s. 😂
Date Window
By: Koozy : June 7th, 2023-09:04
I think I'm in the minority of enthusiasts who value and appreciate a date window, but the execution here is absolutely hideous. Done correctly this launch could've pulled me into the Breguet brand given how unobtainable other brands are now, but this poo...
That's just terrible...
By: andrea~ : June 7th, 2023-11:08
42mm? Yuck. Not to mention the ugly hands and awful date placement.
:))))

Have read lots of comments online about these new Breguet releases. It appears the below feelings are shared by many, including myself. ...

traffic jam at 4-5..

lights are out. Pedestrians, bicycles and cars all converging at intersection. Call for horology police to clear out the mess…
