Breguet Classique 5175 WG Ginza Edition

Key Points from the Discussion

• Many collectors express frustration with Breguet's product strategy, questioning why highly attractive, purist designs like the no-date Ginza Edition are limited to extremely small runs (e.g., 10 pieces) while less appealing versions with date windows are part of the regular catalog.
• Several members, including jlux and analog_sheen, confirm that the presence of a date window on the standard production blue enamel dial model was a deal-breaker for them, reinforcing the strong preference for a clean, no-date aesthetic.
• There's a strong consensus and a collective wish for Breguet to create a dedicated, no-date limited edition for WatchProSite members, with specific suggestions for black, blue, or even burgundy enamel dials, and potentially a tantalum case.
• One collector suggests an ideal size for such a purist Classique would be 36mm or 37mm, noting that Breguet's lugs can appear too long on smaller wrists with larger diameters.
• The discussion highlights that producing more collector-focused editions, particularly those with enamel dials and without dates, could significantly benefit Breguet by re-engaging and attracting serious collectors.
• A contributor shares an image of a Breguet dive watch, humorously suggesting it as a complementary piece to a purist Classique in a two-watch collection, showcasing the breadth of Breguet's appeal.
