Breguet has introduced the Classique Répétition Minutes Ref. 7365, an elegant minute repeater wristwatch launched in conjunction with the brand's 250th anniversary festivities. The timepiece is encased in a 39.1mm housing made of 18k "Breguet gold," with a thickness of 10.8mm. The blue grand feu enamel dial showcases the Maison's concealed signature and attached Breguet numerals, while the case design has elongated, tapering lugs and the Quai de l’Horloge symbol present on anniversary models.

The Ref. 7365 sets a new standard for minute repeater functionality, notably as Breguet's inaugural water-resistant minute repeater, featuring a water resistance rating of 3 ATM. This accomplishment was attained by equipping the most sensitive region—the complication activation lock—with specialised gaskets. The acoustic performance is enhanced with gold gongs, a patented design affixed to the patented Breguet gold case, guaranteeing optimal and harmonious sound transmission through material continuity.

Additionally, the Calibre 1896 is equipped with a silicon escapement, comprising the balancing spring, anchor, and escape wheel, which improves stability and magnetic resistance, along with a 75-hour power reserve. The Classique Répétition Minutes Ref. 7365 is restricted to 25 units and is priced at $369,600 USD, accompanied by a bespoke resonator display box.
