About the Breguet Calatrava Ref. 3460

The Breguet Marine Chronograph Ref. 3460 is a notable example from the brand's Marine collection, which draws inspiration from Breguet's historical role as chronometer maker to the French Royal Navy. This reference represents an earlier interpretation of a luxury sports watch, distinct from later iterations of the Marine line.

The timepiece features a round case, often crafted in precious metals, housing an automatic chronograph movement. The dial typically includes sub-dials for chronograph functions and a date display. A distinguishing characteristic of this reference is its integrated bracelet, which contributes significantly to its overall aesthetic and wrist presence.

For collectors, the Ref. 3460 offers a glimpse into Breguet's design philosophy for sports watches during its production period. Its smaller case size, compared to modern chronographs, along with its unique bracelet design, makes it a specific point of interest for those appreciating vintage and neo-vintage Breguet references.

Mine was very very large/bulky. I wouldn't recommend that watch and am a HUGE Breguet fan.
