The new Breguet Classique 7147 has become a hallmark of the brand. It is the typical of the Classique collection, a watch inspired by the decorative codes applied in the early days of horology.
The new Classique 7147 features an entirely engine-turned silvered gold dial whose main motif is “clou de Paris” hobnailing while a cross weave pattern is used for the offset small seconds subdial at 5 o’clock.
Hours and minutes are read off by blued steel Breguet hands sweeping over a chapter ring bearing Roman numerals. The Breguet signature is engraved on either side of the 12 o’clock numeral.
Available in rose or white gold, the 40 mm case features the typical fluted caseband and welded lugs with screw bars.
Inside, the ultra-thin self-winding Calibre 502.3SD with an off-centred oscillating weight visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. Beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, the movement guarantees 45 hours of power reserve. Balance-spring and escapement are made in silicon, a material which is anti-magnetic and highly resistant to corrosion as well as not requiring lubricant.
