Breguet Marine 9518 & 5529

TIMELESS NEW REFERENCES JOIN THE MARINE COLLECTION

Breguet expands its iconic Marine collection with new gem set models. These resolutely contemporary watches inspire a desire for the open seas.

MARINE 9518

Two new timepieces join the Marine collection. While one is graced with a sunburst blue dial recalling the sea, the second comes with a  silver-toned dial hinting at foam dancing on the rocks.

As if to evoke sunshine sparkling on water, eight diamonds take the place of certain hour-markers on each dial, while the bezel is decked out with 50 diamonds. This model features several of Breguet’s notable aesthetic attributes. Firstly, the facetted gold hour and minute hands, which are luminescents and display the famous eccentric open-tipped style. In a reference to maritime signals, the tip of the seconds hand signifies the letter “B” for Bravo’ in navigation codes. At 3o’ clock, the crown guard is distinguished by the wave shape characteristic of the Marine line. The profile (baseband) of each model bears the fluted motif featured on the majority of Breguet watch cases. Abraham-Louis Breguet’s love of functional and elegant watchmaking led him to adorn the baseband of most of his watches with guilloché and fluted pattern.

This signature style gives a more refined appearance, while also making it less likely to slip from its owner’s hands, has been faithfully preserved by the Manufacture.

These two steel models, on a metal bracelet with both-polished and satin-brushed finish reflecting the different treatments applied to each timepiece. Particular care has also been taken to ensure that the bracelet is supple enough to fit elegantly and comfortably around the wearer’s wrist While the triple-blade clasp gives it a sporty-chic look.

MOVEMENT

Beating inside the 33.8mm-diameter steel case water-resistance to 50 metres, 187 components drive the 5917A self-winding movement with its 38-hour power reserve. The sturdily built in-house Breguet calibre is also  seductively slender at 3.4mm. To ensure high precision, it is fitted with a flat balance-spring and an in-line Swiss lever silicon escapement. The latter’s numerous properties include resistance to corrosion and wear, as well as insensitivity to the influence of magnetic field, while providing enhanced accuracy. As luxury lies in the details, the movement can also be admired through the sapphire crystal casebook, which reveals a gold oscillating weight bearing guilloché work evoking a snailed sunburst motif, handcrafted by the Manufacture’s artisans.

MARINE CHRONOGRAPH 5529

These models enrich the range of chronograph in the Marine Collection and pick up a number of Breguet’s cherished aesthetic codes. Crafted in white or rose gold, these sporty new versions feature a deep blue dial embellished with wave motifs, hand-guilloché within the Manufacture. The abyss blue of the dial is lit up by the sparkle of eight baguette-cut diamonds dotted around the chapter ring., This radiant effect is further enhanced by luminescent hands and Roman numerals. The 30-minute, 12-hour and 60-second chronograph counters appear at 3,6 and 9 o’clock respectively. The date window is located between 4 and 5 o’clock, and the bezel of this new edition is adorned with 90 baguette-cut diamonds adding extra radiance.

MOVEMENT
