Hands-on: The new BREGUET Marine 5517

In this first part of my two videos I present you the new BREGUET three-hands-watch. In part two you will discover the new BREGUET Marine Chronographe 5547. BREGUET has completely overlooked its Marine collection and given it a new, contemporary design. No doubt this is a BREGUET, but a very modern one, featuring as all the BREGUET watches a mechanical movement decorated and finished as one can expect from a brand like BREGUET. It is all about fine watchmaking and many, many little details. Enjoy the video!

Alexander, this Breguet marine series I find divine! Attention to detail and design are supreme!

[@WatchAdvisor]

Luca Chinellato I couldn’t agree more!

[@blainecole5452]

Thank you for the presentation. So many beautiful things to comment on; The price point seems very affordable for a Breguet. The rotor and clasp sharing design cues works quite well. The coin edge of the case and embellishment of the movement are in keeping with Breguets' high standards. I must admit I was taken aback at the applied roman numerals and the rubber strap. Perhaps I would feel differently looking at it on my own wrist.

Im saving up for the blue dial. Thank you for Alexander's the superb presentation. Big fan here from Singapore/Hong Kong

[@WatchAdvisor]

Blue dial = pure elegance & style ... That's a very good choice! Thanks for your positive feedback!

The last time I commented to a video of yours I was critical. I'm happy to say you did a great job on this one. The watches are stunning I'm so glad you picked them to present. I personally can't afford either or better put shouldn't spend that much on a watch. But I will say to those who feel the same way, the value to watching a excellent presentation like this is what you learn about style and fashion. I for one was able to connect the dots from this beautiful gold Breguet to Omega's Seasmaster Aqua Terra blue dial in Sedna gold on a rubber strap. Now I'm not going to tell you both watches are even close in horology but they do give off a similar look on the wrist. Neither is ever going to be confused with a a diver but they can go for an impromptu swim and then off to a dinner party with ease. Yes the Omega for the budget restrained would work nicely. So when you click on a review like this drink in the beauty being shown and learn and if you can't afford it look around for something that will give off a similar vid.

Robert, thank you for your thoughts and the positive feedback. All these watches are objects we should admire even when we are not able to buy them. It is the art of celebrating time in a very old fashioned but vivid way. Up to everyones personal budget I would like to state the following: 'Time is too precious to measure on a cheap watch.' So guys, how much money you will ever invest in a good mechanical wristwatch... it is worth doing it ... Just do me one little favor: Keep your wrists free of smart watches!

What type if movement does this use? How many VBH? +\- sec per month?

[@WatchAdvisor]

JOHN DROSSIS 28.800 A/h (4 Hz), 55 hours op power reserve, -4/6 seconds per day (BREGUET does not officially communicate the daily deviation, but the watches will for sure meet or exceed the COSC requirements)

[@pianoman2640]

Hi Alexander. Great video presentation as usual. The blue model looks exquisite. I have an eight and a half inch wrist. Would it fit a big wrist like mine?

[@WatchAdvisor]

Thanks for your feedback! This is a question I can hardly answer, since tastes are different. But I would assume yes, since it is a sporty looking watch and with the big crown and prominent crown protection appears bigger to me as it is...

[@pianoman2640]

@@WatchAdvisor Thanks for your answer. I meant would the rubber or alligator strap be long enough? Do they make extra long straps?

[@WatchAdvisor]

When i see them at 18000 instead of 28000 on the grey, i wonder how much the margins are

[@WatchAdvisor]

The watches shouldn’t be there and not be sold with such a discount! Some retailers desperately need cash… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MrYutbe57]

I've seen the 5517 on leather, rubber, and steel bracelet. How do you change it? Screws?

[@WatchAdvisor]

Yes!

[@MrYutbe57]

@WatchAdvisor just saw tour other comment to me on your other video. Thanks for responding. Left this comment on like 30 videos over last few days. Do you you know of a video of that? I also can't find where you can buy the stand alone straps.

[@blade5053]

Alexander ,do you think the 40mm look fine? Wear smaller on the wrist?thanks

[@WatchAdvisor]

The watch with its flexible attachment of the bracelet fits very good on a wrist. My wrist is 17 cm and for me Marine looks great. Can you try the BREGUET somewhere? What I can try to do is to send you a picture on a wrist of someone having the wrist size you have. I will have to organize this but I think this should be possible... What is your wrist size?

Older model Big Date dial , looks nicer ,Roman Numerals in “one cut” on the new model , looks off , Yes , it’s a matter of taste.

Both versions are sought after and have their fans … as you wrote … a matter of taste …

[@sjwprc5911]

Honestly, I prefer the old marine 5817, the new module is too modern

[@WatchAdvisor]

I hear you... Tastes are different!

[@thomasroutledge3252]

A bit of a misstep

Thomas Routledge Thomas, a misstep? Why? Explain us why?

[@thomasroutledge3252]

[@WatchAdvisor]

Thomas Routledge I see! What I heard is that the new design makes its way and the interest in the the new Marine watches is good. The watches look younger now and a bit more technical...

[@jasongennero2925]

Looks like a watch that i bought for my wife.yep definitely a women's watch.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Jason Gennero I would call it a unisex watch. Looking good on both wrists... depending on your personal style...
