amanicoHere is the new Type XXI from Breguet, in titanium, with two different dials, each of them limited to 250 pieces. The Green: The Orange: Here, you have a 42 mm case, in titanium, which is 42 mm big, and 15, 2 mm high.

foverstaInspired by the Souscription watches of the late 18th century, the Tradition collection is, in my opinion, the true cornerstone of Breguet's catalogue.

The first Tradition watches .....">Story

amanicoYou probably know the Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra Plat Ref 5367 coming with its white enamel dial. This year, Breguet unveils the same watch, but with an outstanding enamel dial. The case is made in platinum, with some good proportions ( 41 mm diameter / 7, 45 mm high ) which wears smaller in the real life than " on the paper ".
