When you think of certain brands, somehow, if their marketing did a good job the quintessential design pops out at you. For instance, when you think Casio the classic g-shock, or Rolex a datejust, daydate, submariner...oops too many for this brand. But when you think Blancpain I would say most of us view these two as their flagship models.
Somehow, I think their marketing got it right. Classic Gents, but wait...with a twist of complicated movements. Just so that you can open a dinner conversation about how complex and simple life can be with such a watch. Great Job...love these watches.

Love the dials! Absolutely agree, unfortunately, their prices for these two are beyond for many.
I don't really care for the non-straight date pointer hand -- I find them annoying. It's also the reason I never really liked the Milgauss.
