Very nice review pointing out the aesthetic features that make this timepiece out of the norm where the view into the display back lends a steampunk mechanical vibe, and the radial brushed sunburst emanating from the logo are the secret pleasures for the owner to appreciate. The movement even looks to be sans column wheel which doesn’t seem normal on a premium offering, but look to Breguet’s older Type XXI and there’s precedent for it from another time when it was well executed and well finished, and seeing it now it is different and sort of quirky, but I like it. Love the dial too with the crazy roman numerals all blocky and a little elemental in its display…sort of edging back into the steam powered 1800s. And finally those hands that carry that vibe too, piercing the circle when a more refined approach would have delicate Breguet hands marking the time. What fun the designers must have had bringing this piece of art to life. ❤
I dont know why you keep bringing up diver watches in this context. this watch has nothing to do with a diver... I mean just because it is called marine? Coz, Ulysse Nardin has a whole line of marine chronographs as well, again having nothing to do with divers. Just saying...
But if you listen to the Voie Over you will see that Zach completely agrees with you on this one. He is stating that this ISNT a diver. Hes diver preamble sets up the robustness of this offer from Breguet. Hope that clarifies it for you. Or am I missing something here?
The point I am making here is that dive watches largely look the same, so ‘maritime/marine’ themed watches like this offer the robustness needed in water without being burdened by dive watch aesthetic hallmarks. -Z
Beautiful watch but I feel most watching would be too young for this watch. It feels like I needs to be adorned on a 60+ year old’s wrist. (Just my opinion)
Titanium is NOT, by any means, luxury!!! But, anyway, the main point here, is that, it looks assembled taking the case from a watch, and the bracelet, from another watch. Shame, cause the case, and the dial are beautiful!
I love the ship wheel rotor, perfect skeletonization of a watch with "marine" in the name
The Breguet Marine is and has been on my list. I love the wave guilloche dial most.
Such a beautiful watch!! Always class from breguet👍🏻

It’s lovely love to see more Bragi
Hoping the watch industry moves towards dressier sports watches under 40mm like the Breguet marine collection
I have a 3 hander 5517 version with grey dial in titanium. Love it
Is this a new release? Been a couple of years ago if i remember…
It wont get any better
I like the back of it better than the front. I don’t like the sub dials, looked too big, meh. Thank you for sharing though.

@@Timeandtidewatches ahhh that makes sense

It’s too big, would be a lot more perfect if they could get rid of the flyback and date function and shrink its case to 39mm.
That’s a lot of polishing for titanium

Do you find any light material to be not luxury, or just titanium? -Z
@Timeandtidewatches yes, most of the time they are not. It is indeed, technology at the best level, but not luxury. Luxury comes from the past
