Breguet Classique 7787 Moon Phases


This new watch by Breguet has a lot of the luxury characteristics we know from the Swiss manufacturer, apart that it comes in sizes for men and women.
This watch has three central hands for hour, minute and seconds, but it also comes with a moon phase at 12 o'clock and a power reserve indicator at three o'clock.  Inside, the watch contains the Breguet Calibre 591 DRL, the thinnest self-winding mechanism of its kind, with a double barrel (up to 38 hours reserve), as well as a silicon escapement and balance spring.  Silicon was selected because is extremely light, which translates to better shock resistance, non - magnetic, and doesn't require lubrication.
The watch comes in red and white gold.
