The Breguet Marine Ref. 5517BR/Y2/9ZU radiates maritime elegance with its 18K rose gold case, wave-guilloché blue dial, and luxurious blue alligator strap.
The Breguet Marine Ref. 5517BR/Y2/9ZU in 18K rose gold with a luxurious alligator leather strap perfectly embodies the union of maritime heritage and contemporary refinement. Drawing from Breguet’s legacy as the official supplier of marine chronometers to the French Royal Navy, this timepiece blends classic artistry with modern innovation, an ode to precision, craftsmanship, and timeless allure.
Encased in 18K rose gold, the 40mm round case showcases satin-brushed and polished surfaces that reflect both strength and sophistication. The fluted caseband, a Breguet hallmark, enhances its tactile elegance, while the sapphire crystal caseback offers a mesmerizing view of the self-winding movement within. Water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 bar), this watch balances luxury with practicality, embodying a spirit of confident refinement.
The blue gold dial, hand-guilloché on a rose engine with an intricate wave motif, captures the rhythmic beauty of the ocean. Each engraved pattern reflects light in mesmerizing motion, a tribute to Breguet’s artisanal mastery. Applied Roman numerals, filled with luminescent material, and Breguet’s signature open-tipped hands ensure exceptional legibility. A discreet date aperture at 3 o’clock blends harmoniously into the dial’s design, emphasizing both elegance and precision.
Powering this Marine is the Caliber 777A, a self-winding movement known for its accuracy and durability. Operating at 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and offering a 55-hour power reserve, the movement features a flat silicon balance spring for improved performance and resistance to magnetic interference. Through the sapphire caseback, one can admire the oscillating gold rotor, shaped like a ship’s rudder, a symbol of Breguet’s nautical heritage.
The hand-stitched alligator leather strap, finished in deep blue, complements the watch’s oceanic inspiration. Secured with an 18K rose gold triple-blade folding clasp, the strap provides both elegance and comfort, making it ideal for both formal occasions and leisurely pursuits. Its supple texture and impeccable finishing enhance the overall luxurious wearing experience.
