0 0 Saturday, 28 April 2018 Edit this post

Following our overview of Breguet's new Marine Collection that we provided directly from Baselworld 2018, we start now presenting each new model more in detail, the first being the three-hand Marine 5517 model.

This model features all the key design elements characterizing the new collection: the distinctive bracelet lug, the slightly reworked fluting on the caseband and the wave decor surrounding the crown, adorned with a large “B”.

The case has a diameter of 40 mm — an ideal size for a watch with a dynamic yet elegant character — and is available in three materials: rose gold, white gold and, for the first time, in titanium which offers lightness as well as resistance to salty air and corrosion.

The titanium version is matched to an elegant sunburst slate grey dial while the dials of the white gold and rose gold models are blue and silver respectively, both adorned with an engine-turned “wave” motif.

The facetted Breguet hands in gold are coated with luminescent material just like the hours chapter with Roman numerals. The central seconds hand bears a “B” in a reinterpreted version of the corresponding maritime signal flag.

The sapphire crystal caseback displays the automatic movement and it original oscillating weight whose design is inspired by a ship’s rudder. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and and equipped with a balance spring in silicon, the Calibre 777A offers 55 hours of power reserve.

Water-resistant to 10 bar (100 metres / 330 feet), the Breguet Marine 5517 can be matched to a leather strap or to a rubber strap for a more sporty style.

Prices: Euro 18,600 / US$ 18,800 in titanium (ref. 5517TI/G2/5ZU) or Euro 28,400 / US$ 28,700 in rose gold (ref. 5517BR/12/9ZU) or white gold (ref. 5517BB/Y2/9ZU). breguet.com
