BREGUET CLASSIQUE TOURBILLON EXTRA-PLAT AUTOMATIQUE 5367 Platinum Enamel Blue ( 2020 ).

You 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 ". As for the height, it is a bit more important than a non enameled version ( 7, 00 mm ), but the extra height is contained. Indeed, I know some other watches which add one millimeter just for or because of the enamel dial.
Here, the blue hue of the dial is obtained thanks to a blend of several blue nuances.
Something you most probably know is that Breguet, but also other brands, use a gold plate for the dial.
On the press files pictures, this dial looks promising.
The open tipped hands and Breguet silver powder hour markers are such a big and delicious part of the brand's DNA. A pleasure for the eyes.
The off centered tourbillon, located between 4 and o' clock is another characteristic of this brand. I like the simple and sober tourbillon bridge.
Just above the Tourbillon, another Breguet key element the secret signature.
The movement is a pleasure for the eyes, which is not always the case for automatic movements. The decoration is eye catching, and I will wait to see it in the reality to judge its level of finishings.
The Cal 581 is made of 334 parts, 33 jewels, is a 16''' movement and only 3 mm high.
It beats at the pace of 4 Hertz and offers a power reserve of 80 hours. Its balance spring is made in silicon.
Another detail, the tourbillon carriage is made in titanium.
More than these details, this watch oozes class and elegance.
Now the real question is to know if it is above the enamel grand feu white version, which I liked a lot... The answer will come when I see it.
Stay tuned!
Best,
Nicolas

Exceptional watch! I find this presentation even more pleasing then the original white emanel dial! Also, the picture seem to show slightly thicker hands compared to the other model ... maybe just the picture though

Yes, I am curious to see what they have under their sleeve...

Impressive The transition from the tourbillon cage to the blue dial seems calmer to me than with the white. I would have chosen applied numerals in WG to give the blue dial more depth. (Perhaps they are but difficult to tell from the photos.) Overall, a very impress...

That is one of the questions I have in mind ( the applied numerals )... Thanks for your input, Uncle.

Breguet certainly is one of these magic names of the watch industry. We all have these old ads in mind, featuring some famous clients of the brand, such as Napoleon, Marie Antoinette, Churchill, just to name a few. We are many to have some models in mind, like the Type XX, or the Triple Date ref 3330 / 3337, without forgetting the Tradition. The 3330: We know that Abraham-Louis Breguet was the inventor of the Tourbillon as soon as 1801, and that this is one of the oldest name of the watch universe.
