With the new trend of smaller warches, it wouldnt surprise me if they come rather soon.
Breguet Type XX Chronographe 2075
38.3 x 13.2 mm case in 18K Breguet gold (proprietary alloy that mixes gold with silver, copper, and palladium) with 19 mm lug width 5 bar water resistant Movements : 7279 for the black variant with 15-minute “big eye” counter at 3 o’clock 7278 for the sil...
I haven't been able to download it, unfortunately.
The webpage says that it's unavailable... Best, Emmanuel
Why does it have to be thick because it's a pilot watch?
...My Submariner can survive 1,000 feet in water and it's thinner...
: ) I get it having large pushers, etc. if they want to stay true to the retro look...
...but a manual-wind chronograph from a top manufacturer?
Indeed, both calibres (6 mm thick) seem to be based on the automatic 7281 (6.6 mm thick).
And I agree that it's a real minus... Best, Emmanuel Calibre 7281 Calibre 7279 with 15-minutes Big Eye counter (no available image of 7278) ...
They've done a wonderful job, this time.
And as I love rose gold, I couldn't like it more. Best, Emmanuel
Looks good and probably one of the better executions of this watch, but...
I've said it elsewhere and every time I see this model, I'll say it again: the bezel font doesn't match the dial. For the insane asking price of this thing, it had better match. For two, why does the pin buckle say metal when it should be hallmarked in go...
I think the idea was to be faithful to the original models,
which also had slightly different fonts for the bezel and dial. I like it personally. As for the pin buckle, I don't know why this "metal". Best, Emmanuel credit: monochrome ...
That's fine—it's just an inherited error in that case. Too bad, I like the design in almost all other respects.
I'm glad you like it, however!
Because it's so much more beautiful in rose gold ;-)
Jokes apart, I really love the look of the black/dark brown version. Best, Emmanuel
i am sure it will come....
They are doing the very same thing like the other brands, to release something hot in a precious metal and later on the very same thing in steel. ideally not limited of course.
You might be right, but I would assume that they won't rush to do this
because it would be a big blow for the steel 2057 & 2067 models... Best, Emmanuel
Since a long time these are the first new releases from Breguet that are convincing to me !
I like especially the black dial version and will certainly check it out once available with my AD.
These new Breguet Type XX chrongraphe are really just stunning.
From what i remember from reading in previous threads it seems Breguet knocked it out of the park with these as they have no date and a smaller case size which I remember a lot of people were asking for. I also understand being an anniversary release thes...
Your Type XXI is very fine with its iconic coin edged case and "conical" bezel.
For me, these new Type XX are very different watches, probably for different tastes and wrists. The black variant is very much to my taste as I like colored gold even on such a "tool" watch. But I certainly understand that many are waiting for a steel ver...
Really like the size and the lack of date…
Could be a bit thinner, being hand wound, though 😊 And like most others I am waiting for a steel or titanium version 🤞🏻
I agree with thinner, but, predictably, this rose gold version
is very much to my taste! Best, Emmanuel
Faux Patina!! Arghhhh
I have two problems with this model—and faux patina is a straight out deal killer for me. I can’t staaaaaaaand it. I understand it warms up the dial here. But time passing was supposed to do that. It’s like reverse plastic surgery. My other issue was brou...
Thank you for your rant!
It made me laugh. Of course, I understand your critics, but I quite like this model personally. Best, Emmanuel
These are two incredibly beautiful watches!
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...
Your critics are totally fair indeed.
These watches could be even better, no doubt about that. But they're far from bad and I personally find them rather appealing. Best, Emmanuel
These are nice references overall. Imperfect, but appealing.
The silver dial variant is particularly attractive, and a bit of a stylistic departure from the sportier Type XX dials. The silver dial is well matched with the rose gold case, whereas I'd like to see the big eye dial with a steel or titanium case. The mo...
The black dial one is nice
Make it in steel and give it a solid caseback and it will be top.
