Both watches come with the same style of grand enameled dial, with the replica Breguet numerals, whimsical star minute track, and stylized fleur-de-lis hour markers. However, there are a few extra details on 7787, starting with a power reserve indicator that sweeps across the dial between three and six o'clock. Next is the smiling cutout at 12 o'clock, which displays the age and phases of the moon - with its stars and man on the moon set in gold against a night sky backdrop, it adds some romance to the watch's old-world charm. The blued-steel hands are, so surely, in customary fake Breguet style as well, and as elegant as ever - particularly the long and slender center seconds hand.
The 18-carat white-gold case has a diameter of 39mm and is 10.2mm thick. With its thin bezel and signature coin-edged sides, it's classic Breguet replica all over, as are the slightly angled soldered lugs, which use screw pins to secure the alligator leather strap. Compared to its traditional looks, beating away inside is the self-winding 38-hour Cal. 591DRL. With a Swiss straight-line escapement and balance spring made from silicon, it's about as fashionable as you can get in mechanical watchmaking today.
At the nuts and bolts of it, the new Classique 7787 is all about refinement -Breguet striving to always stay ahead of their time while they pay tribute to watchmaking and their own illustrious histories.
