Breguet Reveil du Tsar Enamel Boutique Edition Alarm WatchThe new Breguet Reveil du Tsar Boutique Edition alarm watch with grand feu enamel offers a perfect balance of legibility and eternal elegance. Originally introduced almost eight years ago during the Baselworld 2003 trade show, the Breguet Reveil du Tsar has recently been updated with a gorgeous white Grand Feu enamel dial.While I am not the greatest fan of Breguet’s current model range, this particular watch simply takes my breath away.The milky white dial, heat-blued hands, and meticulously painted numerals produce absolutely stunning effect.Also, the watch offers an outstanding level of legibility, when a mighty torrent of information (an alarm clock sub-dial at 3 o’clock; a subsidiary second and small date aperture at 6 o’clock; a 24-hour GMT sub-dial at 9 o’clock; an alarm clock’s power reserve indicator between 10 and 11 o’clock; and, finally, an alarm on/off indicator at 12 o’clock) doesn’t drown you, but actually refreshes your mind.The alarm complication is also an example in ergonomics.As one may easily guess, it is operated with its own winding crown at 4 o’clock and a small pusher at 8 o’clock.Its own sub-dial is marked-up in Roman numerals and in different type-face, which makes it even easier to separate it from the main dial.The rest is more or less the same.The watch is supplied in the same 39 mm case and is powered by the same Breguet caliber 519F automatic movement.Built on 34 jewels and offering up to 45 hours of power reserve, the movement is beautifully decorated with Geneva stripes on its bridges and a spiral Barleycorn guilloche pattern on its 18-carat rose gold oscillating weight.As the name implies, the watch will be sold exclusively at Breguet’s own boutiques throughout the world.

Watch maker Breguet is to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the French Aeronavale with a limited edition timepiece.Based on the company's Type XX collection, which Breguet has been designing for the French Naval Aviation since the 1950s, this edition will have some features that will distinguish it from the rest in its range, Watch Time has reported.This includes a rotating bezel that will be black-lacquered, instead of the silver design usually associated with Type XX watches, which comes complete with raised numerals to aid reading the time.The size of the watch face also helps watch fans, too, measuring in at a sizeable 39 millimetre diameter.Within this face is a stylish matte black dial, which is then decorated with luminous numerals and hands, *** for a well designed timepiece for fans of watches or Breguet.An elegant calfskin leather strap completes this special watch, of which only 1,000 pieces will be made available.
