Amanico's insightful post from 2020 meticulously details Breguet's refreshed Classique references, the 7137 and 7337. This article remains highly relevant for collectors interested in Breguet's approach to updating its iconic models, particularly how subtle dial and moon phase enhancements can redefine a watch's aesthetic. Amanico highlights the nuanced changes that distinguish these contemporary iterations from their predecessors, offering a valuable reference for understanding Breguet's design evolution.

This year, Breguet decided to revisit these two references from the Classique Line. 

The 7137 and 7337 are both available in white gold and rose gold. 

The white gold 7137 and 7337 come with a blue dial, while the rose gold has a more classic silver dial. 

These 2 references have a 39 mm case, 8, 65 mm high for the 7137, 9, 9 mm for the 7337, with fluted side case. 

The automatic movement, the Cal 502.3, has a power reserve of 45 hours, with a nice guilloché rotor. It uses a silicon escapement and spring. 

Till now, nothing really new... The most important change? the dials. They both receive a new decoration, with different guillochages. 

For the 7137, we have:

- A basket wave for the power reserve,

- A Damier ( checkerboard ) for the date,

- And a Clous de Paris ( hobnail ) guilloché for the main dial. 


For the 7337, we have damier for the small seconds and hobnail for the rest of the dial. 


The other important change? The decoration of the moon phase. 

You can see all these changes with the following pictures. 

The former 7337 I could take in picture one year ago:

 





The new one: 



And while we are at it, what about a picture of the original model, the reference 3833


Now, some official pictures of the 7137: 
































I must say that these new versions are really eye catching. I still have to confirm these first positive feelings " in the real life " which will be done as soon as possible. But I always had a soft spot for the 3330 / 3337, which were the first Breguet I fell in love with:


What do you think? 

Looking forward to reading your comments and thoughts, 

Best.

About the Breguet Classique Ref. 3330

The reference 3330 represents Breguet's Classique series in a compact 34mm case configuration. This particular reference offers the traditional proportions associated with classical dress watch design, positioned within Breguet's core collection as a refined timepiece suitable for formal wear.

The 34mm case is crafted from 18k yellow gold and houses an automatic movement. The silver dial provides contrast against the precious metal case, while a sapphire crystal protects the watch face. Water resistance extends to 30 meters, with a fixed bezel completing the case construction.

This reference appeals to collectors seeking a traditionally-sized dress watch from an established manufacture. The 34mm case diameter aligns with vintage proportions, making it suitable for those preferring smaller case sizes or collectors focused on classical watch dimensions. The yellow gold case material and automatic movement place it within the accessible luxury segment of Breguet's offerings.

I love both editions. The rg has an amazing moonphase which really

Makes the watch to a modern version of their last, similar model (ALS and AP, but also companys like Omega did much in recent years to make the moonphase visually more interesing). The wg version is really amazing since it creates a bridge between the very sporty marine and the very elegant classique collection. I could think that i would wear the wg version with a textil strap to make that piece even a bit more sporty. All in all a very nice update. If this company were named Lange, they would

The Lange has the benefit of its very nice MANUAL winding movement. But the 7337 is even more poetic. [nt]
