Breguet Introduces Anniversary “Quai de L’Horloge” Guilloché Dials Across the Marine Line
Drawing from Paris river contours and ocean waves, the intricate gold dials elevate the 5517 and 5527 models.
Summary
Breguet refreshes its Marine 5517 and Marine Chronographe 5527.
New versions feature hand-guilloché “Quai de l’Horloge” dials.
White gold, rose gold and titanium cases span three-hand and flyback chronograph formats.
Breguet has unveiled new iterations of two flagship models within its iconic Marine collection: the Marine 5517 three-hand model and the Marine Chronographe 5527. Anchored in the house’s historic appointment in 1815 as Watchmaker to the French Royal Navy under Abraham-Louis Breguet, the updated designs balance maritime heritage with modern luxury. Both models introduce subtle architectural updates, such as repositioning the date window to 6 o’clock to enhance dial symmetry, alongside a gold applique at 12 o’clock and signature maritime details like a wave-shaped crown guard and a seconds hand counterweight shaped like the nautical “Bravo” flag.
The Marine 5517 keeps the collection at its most streamlined with a 40mm case, three-hand display and date window repositioned to 6 o’clock for greater symmetry. Its gold dial is decorated by hand with Breguet’s “Quai de l’Horloge” guilloché, a motif introduced for the Maison’s 250th anniversary and inspired by both the contours of Paris’ Île de la Cité and Île Saint-Louis and the movement of water. The white-gold edition receives an ice-blue dial, the rose-gold version is rendered in black, and the titanium model adopts blue, with Breguet numerals, “apple” hands and nautical cues including a seconds hand referencing the “Bravo” maritime flag. The 42.3mm Marine Chronographe 5527 develops the same visual language around a flyback chronograph, now using two counters at 3 and 9 o’clock for elapsed minutes and small seconds, alongside the date at 6. Its hand-guilloché dial appears in blue-gradient treatments for the white- and rose-gold models and a grey gradient for titanium.
Powering the 5517 is Breguet’s self-winding Calibre 777A, running at 4 Hz with a 55-hour power reserve, while the 5527 uses the automatic Calibre 582QA, pairing its flyback chronograph with a 48-hour reserve. Both watches are water-resistant to 100 meters and expose their movements through sapphire casebacks, where a gold oscillating weight shaped in reference to a ship’s rudder continues the nautical theme.
The new models are available through Breguet boutiques and authorized retailers, with prices for the the 5517 ranging from $26,400 USD in titanium on rubber and $30,000 USD on titanium bracelet. Meanwhile the white- and rose-gold editions are $48,900 USD on rubber and $80,300 USD on bracelet. As for the 5527, the model retails between $33,000 USD in titanium on rubber and $36,600 USD on bracelet, rising to $59,400 USD for either gold version on rubber and $93,900 USD on bracelet.
