Type 20 just in
Believe it or not, this is my first Breguet, 15 years into this hobby. The execution is top notch, and on Nato it wears not dissimilar to a Speedy. The movement has a rather industrial decoration I understand they did this on purpose to stay within the sub 20k price range - the base caliber I think is a 5hz fly-back movement also found in some Blancpain watches. The elephant in the room is an anti-purist inclusion of the date at 4:30 but I can live with that. Overall I am quite please with this acquisition and who knows maybe other pieces from this mark will follow.

Yes, vintage ia miles better!
But I am too illiterate for that - need to improve my knowledge of the vintage scene first Looking at all Perezcope posts about doctored vintage pieces sold on auctions nowadays makes me nervous
Thank you very much!
Will surely tap on your expertise once I come up with a short list of targets!
Congratulations. I like what they did with the case.
It has a more tool watch look from the previous version. ...
Thank you!
Agree, I appreciate the case as well. Well executed, mostly brushed and with polished bezel and lug sides - it just works. I like your classic version as well!
I like it
A date only bothers me if it's white while the dial is not white. As for the position... it's doesn't botter me it's even sometimes better between 4 and 5 then at 3
Congratulations !
Actually i don like this, why bother about others.. enjoy your lovely breguet
Congratulations
Regardless of purists' debates about the date window, this remains a charming and extremely well made watch which I have no doubt you will enjoy for many years to come. This also places you in a great position when the special edition no-date comes out, w...
Thank you very much for your
congratulations! Yes, I think this watch will fit nicely in my Summer rotation set, given that it wears well on the Nato strap and I live in a hot weather environment. This was actually a buying decision made on the spot - I visited my AD for relation mai...
Specifically, I looked at three interesting
Omega pieces - a Paris olympic Seamaster with gold bezel, a 6km Planet ocean and a Moonshine Speedmaster panda. To my astonishment, all three had assembly defects (hands misaligned). This Breguet look prestine in comparison )
Thank you :) Am hearing these Breguet
Natos are available also in a couple additional colors, green and smth else - will add these as well for sure.
Looks super cool on you. Big congrats. !
It looks better than I remember from the press photos. As mentioned above, it looks more rough and tool-watch-like, than previous versions. Enjoy!
Let me stand self-corrected
According to the SJX web site (which I personally find very informative as far as technical aspects of movements are concerned) this movement (Breguet cal. 7281 and its sibling cal. 728 used in the 3-counter Breguet Type XX) is a newly developed movement ...
