Breguet - Classique Dame 8068

0 0 Thursday, 25 August 2022 Edit this post

The Breguet Classique collection is enriched by two new timepieces for Ladies introducing a contemporary interpretation of the guilloché dial typical of the brand as well as a new rapid interchange system designed to switch from one strap to another without any need for tools.

In fact, for the first time in their collections, Breguet is offering three interchangeable straps in the same boxed set.

Available in white or rose gold, the Classique Dame 8068 comes in a 30 mm x 7.7 mm round case featuring bezel and lugs set with 64 brilliant-cut diamonds. The crown, initially offered with a blue sapphire, is now fitted with a cabochon-cut diamond. Water resistance is ensured up to a pressure of 3 bar (approximately 30 metres /100 feet).

The mother-of-pearl dial is adorned with a very fine guilloché pattern handcrafted by the Manufacture's artisans. Breguet's signature Arabic numerals now compose the chapter ring. An oval cartouche bears the brand logo at 12 o'clock.

The 191-part manufacture Calibre 537/3 can be appreciated through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback. The platinum oscillating weight is hand-engraved on a rose engine with a circular barleycorn pattern.

Beating at a frequency of 3.5 Hz, this refined self-winding movement offers a 45-hour power reserve and is equipped with an in-line Swiss lever escapement and a silicon balance spring. In addition to being resistant to corrosion and wear, silicon is insensitive to the influence of magnetic fields and improves the precision of the timepiece.

Thanks to the new pusher located under the strap, it only takes a few seconds to switch from a black satin fabric strap to a colourful alligator leather strap: teal blue and Byzantium purple for the white gold version; and peacock blue and raspberry pink for the rose gold variation. Each strap is fitted with a gold buckle.
