Inspired by a civilian model released in 1955, these two new timepieces revisit the golden age of aviation with rare fidelity. At once a tribute and a technical evolution, they revive the distinctive silhouette of the original 38.3 mm model and cloak it in Breguet gold - an exclusive alloy enriched with silver, copper, and palladium, introduced by the brand earlier this year.
Where one model wears a black anodised aluminium dial, a first in Breguet’s collections, the other opts for an elegant, vertically brushed solid silver face. The result is a duality of character: One modern in its aerospace-grade anodisation, the other timeless in its silvery sheen and soft glow.
Each version reveals subtle material cues - "Al" discreetly marked between 7 and 8 o’clock on the aluminium dial, and “Ag925” on the silver - a nod to the pioneering metallurgy of Louis Breguet’s aircraft.
