A true classic pocketwatch on the wrist.

The Breguet 5140 captures this as well as any Breguet wristwatch has ever done.

I dead agree

It was on my list for the longest while. I think its iconic, and to my knowledge the first to put the subseconds in such an interestingly elegant spot... can anyone opine? I also much prefer the seconds dial here over the Chrono Bleu spot, and if I had to guess, I'd say the CB would be in this spot if it weren't already occupied by the 5140.
