Breguet's "Classique Marine Chronograph" is the epitome of elegance and timeless charm. The case measures 36 mm in diameter and has a reeded case band. The bezel is polished and slightly domed, a design detail that contrasts with the straight, widely projecting lugs. The varied engine-turned patterns on the dial are stunning - the centre of the main dial shows a delicate, diamond point surface while the subsidiary dials have a wavy pattern. With the distinctive black Roman hours providing a powerful contrast and the blued Breguet hands, the dial embodies the stunning, sophisticated beauty that is common to all timepieces created by Breguet.
