Breguet launches limited edition XXI 3815 titanium chronograph
Sinn launches a wrist cockpit high quality replica watches
When discussing history and vintage watchmakers, few brands can come to mind as easily as Breguet. Breguet is older than the United States and full of innovation, including the first tourbillon in 1801. In the centuries since its release, Breguet has created a unique classic Baroque luxury watch. Even the brand’s sports products are often inspired by tradition and focus on classic elegance, including the Type XXI series chronograph based on the pilot chronograph first built for the French Air Force in the 1950s. With this in mind, Breguet’s return to the new limited edition XXI series is a rare modern move for the brand. History sign. Titanium case and colorful luminous,
The overall shape of the Breguet XXI 3815 42 mm case may be familiar to brand fans. Breguet’s iconic grooved central strap is paired with sporty long lugs and piston pushers, but the brand reveals the existing design. To improve. Most notably, the case is made of titanium.
Although Breguet provided some details of the titanium alloy used here, the early images indicated that the color was lighter, almost imitating the appearance of stainless steel. Breguet also went to great lengths to maintain the fusion of brushed and polished surfaces, which helped define the XXI stainless steel, which is by no means a feat, because titanium is significantly more difficult to polish.
The second major change of the XXI 3815 case is its rotating bezel, which has removed the one-piece brushed finish of the stainless steel model and replaced it with a polished embossed 60-minute scale covered with dark black lacquer. The orange or lime green light at 12 o’clock makes the package more complete. Breguet included a sapphire display case back to showcase the movement, and rated the Style XXI 3815 as a sporty 100-meter water resistance.
The dial of Breguet XXI Model 3815 is the most significant difference from the previous XXI model, switching from a three-chronograph layout to a two-chronograph layout. In addition, the use of bold and modern colors immediately stands out against this stylish middle-aged gorgeous background, with stylized printed Arabic numerals, sword-shaped hands, and 3-hour scale. The 24-hour and central chronograph minute hands are filled with bright luminous green grass or deep orange. The second tone is the darker of the two tones in the original image, blowing the exaggerated artificial rusty warm pumpkin tone into orange, creating a more modern and intentional feeling.
Breguet highlights these bright colors with a delicate sun-kissed black dial. The dial also has a classic “big eyes” appearance. Equipped with a 24-hour subdial, it is significantly better than the running seconds display at 9 o’clock.
This fascinating asymmetry is a common feature of pilot chronographs in the middle of the century, and naturally directs the eye to the most important information at a glance-in this case, a 24 is now directly connected to the main phone, acting as a day/day/ Night indicator. This allows the flyback timing function to be installed centrally, so that the total measurement time of the chronograph is 60 minutes. Breguet cheap
This is a significant loss of functionality compared to the 12-hour layout of the three-register Model XXI, but for some buyers, the clean appearance of the two-register chronograph may be worth the reduced capacity.
Another potentially destructive element is the trapezoidal date window at 6 o’clock, causing the 6 o’clock digits to be completely lost. Although the size of this window matches the surrounding numbers and matches the color of the main dial surface, most of the dial’s personality shines through these oversized numbers, and deletion may cause disagreement.
Breguet equipped the XXI 3815 movement with an automatic Calibre 584Q/A chronograph movement. The entire plywood of Calibre 584Q/A movement is decorated with Côtes de Genève, the plywood of the movement is decorated with glass, and the white gold oscillating weight uses a unique hand-inlaid twisted pattern, which is both charming and powerful. Calibre 584Q/A is equipped with all modern components, including silicon balance spring and Swiss silicon counter-current lever escapement, which can be adjusted in six positions and provides a high level of power reserve, running at a speed of 28,800 bph for 48 hours. Breguet uses distressed calfskin straps to contrast with dark tobacco brown or tan, which complements the Style XXI 3815.
With a new layout, new materials and eye-catching modern style, the limited edition Breguet XXI 3815 stands out from other products of the brand, offering a unique combination of retro aesthetics, classic and modern.
