The Cal 839 ( then referenced 849 ) is 1, 85 mm. Then you have to add the case, the dial and the glass. We are more somewhere between 4 and 5 mm, in my opinion.
My Breguet Classique 4605/3015BA Ultra Plate arrived today.
Breguet Classique Ultra Plate As you can see my new to me Breguet Classique Ultra Plate 4605/3150BA has arrived super fast as I only completed the purchase yesterday morning I consider this to actually be quite a special Breguet for a few reasons. The fir...
what an amazing find
Had never seen it before, thanks for the education and lovely pics!
A watch that truly deserves the Ultra Plate appelation.
How thick is the case in total?
Thank you for your comment and the case is just over 2mm I guess about 2.2mm but I am attaching some pictures to show it better.

Congratulations, Marc!
What a wonderful true Ultra-Plate watch, with several little details which make it special: the JLC movement and the Chaumet box, in particular. And the classy Breguet DNA, of course! Wear it in the best of health (and, knowing the pain you endure, I weig...
Many thanks for your kind words Emmanuel.
Slightly better now after some injections, so I am going to try and post the Ultra Thin posts I keep promising to do. Marc
I'm glad if the injections had even a small beneficial effect.
Looking forward to reading your posts whenever you make them. Best, Emmanuel
Congrats!
I am sure 33 mm in this lovely watch will look like 36 mm. How high is the watch? You said over 2 mm, but you meant the movement, I suppose?
Actually as hard as it is to believe I do mean the whole watch is just over 2mm, I have now posted some pictures a few posts up from here to show it.
I think with the thinness and the lugs plus the deployant once I get my custom strap it may look larger than its size suggests. But as I am comfortable with smaller watches since my Boucheron La Carree Ultra Plate which is just 25 cm x25 cm this will feel...
It is hard to be completely accurate but yes I have included the glass in my best attempts at getting an accurate measurement.
To be honest I was expecting it to be around 5mm like most Ultra Plate Breguet watches I have seen, so it was a very nice surprise when it arrived and was as thin as my Boucheron. I think a lot of it is down to the use of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 839 ...
You may well be right hopefully an extract from the heritage department at Breguet may reveal more.
I was fully expecting it to be 5 mm and although my measuring may not be that accurate it is certainly under 5 mm. I did notice from the movement picture that the movement is virtually flat to the watch case thickness and that the caseback is only very sl...
My JLC Master Ultra Thin MUT 38 is supposedly 6.3 mm thick.
According to an article written by yours truly. www.watchprosite.com I really like the MUT 38 and I ought to wear it more often! ...
