Enamel dials

After the Tradition Tourbillon, I admired 2 Breguet Enamel Dials which were on my Wish List.

First, the 5140, in WG, for its timeless look, its very pure and warm enamel dial these " Breguet " numbers, and the lovely old looking indexes.

The YG or WG case is 40mm, which may be nothing compared with all these big watches, but due to a very open dial, and a quite slim case, the watch looks even bigger than it is...







The very nice blue hands are awesome and adds a slught and very elegant contrast to this white dial.

On the wrist, the impact is immediate, you feel that you can fall in love quite easily.

Then I tried another enamel dial, the reference 5177, which is available in YG or in WG.

The case is a bit smaller ( 38 mm ), and I'd even say that it is a bit better balanced than the 5140.

Same nice charactheristics, with a date...at 3, and a Central Second instead of the small seconds on the 5140..

A pity there is a date on this watch, as it would have been a very serious possibility, for me...





While the Case Back of the 5140 is solid, the one of the 5177 is a sapphire, allowing you to have an eye on the nice finish of the rotor and the movement.

Nothing exceptional, but nicely made, indeed.







So, I excluded these 2 watches from my wish list, mainyl because I recently found THE one I was hunting for so long, the Langematik Anniversary, which is really above these 2 Breguet, in terms of Finish and Balance.

BUT, if you are more in love with bigger watches, if you don't pay that much attention to movements, I highyl recommend these 2 lovely Breguet Enamel dials...

They are well made, and very pleasant to wear...

The other reason that made me put them off my list is that I found the winner which will be my 2d Breguet Watch, certainly...

Any guess?

LOL

Best to All!
