Breguet Marine 5517BB/Y2/9ZU – 40mm White Gold with Blue Dial

The Breguet Marine 5517BB/Y2/9ZU embodies the seamless fusion of Breguet’s centuries-old horological mastery with contemporary sport-luxury elegance. This model pays tribute to Abraham-Louis Breguet’s appointment as official chronometer maker to the French Navy in 1815, while presenting a modern aesthetic that makes it ideal for both refined and active lifestyles.

The watch features a 40mm case crafted in 18k white gold, measuring just 11.5mm thick, making it both elegant and wearable for everyday use. The case design reflects Breguet’s unmistakable style, with finely fluted casebands and welded lugs with screw-secured bars ensuring both robustness and sophistication. Its water resistance of 100 meters further reinforces its status as a luxury sports watch.

The dial is a true highlight, a sunburst blue dial with intricate guilloché wave pattern engraving that evokes the motion of the sea. Roman numerals, applied in white gold, circle the perimeter alongside luminescent dots for low-light legibility. The distinctive Breguet-style hands, crafted in white gold with luminescent tips, sweep across the textured surface, balancing tradition with modern functionality. The date display is positioned discreetly at 3 o’clock, blending seamlessly into the dial.

Movement – Caliber 777A

At the heart of the Breguet Marine 5517 is the Caliber 777A, an automatic self-winding movement designed and manufactured in-house by Breguet. This finely finished caliber represents a bridge between precision engineering and artisanal craftsmanship.

Functions: Hours, minutes, central seconds, date

Materials: Features a silicon balance spring and escapement components, offering high resistance to magnetic fields and temperature variations

Finishing: Rotor decorated with a guilloché design reminiscent of a ship’s wheel, visible through the sapphire caseback

The timepiece is paired with a blue rubber strap, which complements the maritime theme while offering comfort and durability for active wear. The strap is secured by an 18k white gold triple-folding clasp, ensuring both security and luxury.

Despite its status as a luxury timepiece, the Marine 5517’s balanced proportions, lightweight feel (given its white gold construction), and rubber strap make it equally at home on the wrist of a yachtsman, traveler, or collector seeking a versatile Breguet piece.
