Breguet

The Breguet Script on the dial is overdone.

 

Always nice to see an aviator's Breguet - Breguet used to be in the aviation industry - they made airplanes.  I normally like applied dial details.  But the Breguet script detail on the dial is too tall and too gold - overdone.  And not in the spirit of the piece in my eyes.  Also, the lack of the Lemania movement - and this super modern high-beat movement is again, out of the spirit.  You've got an almost vintage looking watch with vintage details and a super modern movement in it.  This paradox is a conflict of juxtaposition.  Overall - it's a very nice watch.  But the deeper one looks - I think many will agree - the details are a little off.  At first glance, I thought it was wonderful though - perhaps I should limit myself to glances.

Pretty, but we’re all going to say the same thing…

Stainless version please, pull the two versions with the clunky date from a few years back and just run this format for the Type XX with various dial and counter layouts, it’s the right way to go

The wait continues.

Steel please. It is beautiful in gold, but I want steel.

So, apparently one's limited edition and the other isn't...

precious metal should be the way to celebrate the 250 anniversary pieces 😊

Just saw both this evening at Breguet event.

Both Dials were beautiful to me, as was watch back. Its quite stunning. Bit small for my taste but very nice and quite reminiscent to some of their historic type XX pieces.

The text on the back plate is lazy, hand engraved would have been more in line with the luxury aspiration and tradition of the brand.

To be a contrarian...

...I tried on this or similar (forget the exact reference) and it was steel. I am used to wearing a Submariner. The watch felt insubstantial. No other word I can think of. Maybe because of the strap and no bracelet...

As an Anniversary release this is superb…

… especially with the promise of expanding this line with other variants which will surely include a steel version I believe. Since the two Only Watch pieces unique were launched I was hoping for a Type XX in that historic design and smaller size, and her... 

They've done a wonderful job.

As I love rose gold, I couldn't like it more. Best, Emmanuel

This an incredibly beautiful watch!

Unfortunately, movement-wise it's a missed opportunity. Removing the automatic rotor and covering up the movement seems to be a bit of a cope which proves that Breguet won't be catching up with the Holy Trinity anytime soon, despite them dumbing down thei...
