Breguet adds ice blue, black and gradient dials to the Marine 5517 and Marine Chronographe 5527, now in white gold, rose gold and titanium.
The Piece in Focus
- References 5517 and 5527 arrive in a new palette spanning ice blue to black, with gradients of blue and grey, across three case materials: white gold, rose gold and titanium.
- The Marine 5517 is the time-only expression; the Marine Chronographe 5527 adds a chronograph complication within the same visual architecture.
- Hand-guillochéd gold dials carry the “Quai de l’Horloge” motif, a decorative signature named after the Paris address where Abraham-Louis Breguet established his workshop.
- Both references are announced as of 24 September 2026, per the Breguet press communication.
Design & Colour
Breguet has expanded the Marine palette considerably with these two references. Where earlier Marine models favoured warmer, more conventional tones, the 5517 and 5527 now range from a cool ice blue to deep black, with several gradient treatments of blue and grey positioned between those two poles. Each shade interacts differently with the guillochéd relief of the gold dial, so the “Quai de l’Horloge” pattern changes character depending on the angle of light and the specific colourway chosen.
The three case materials, white gold, rose gold and titanium, further multiply the combinations available. Titanium in particular pairs naturally with the cooler side of the new palette, while rose gold finds a different equilibrium with the deeper, more saturated shades. The collection’s established codes, its fluted case flanks, its characteristic crown and the Marine’s overall proportional logic, remain intact throughout.
Movement & Complication
The press release distinguishes the two references by function rather than by casing or dial alone. The Marine 5517 commits entirely to time display, its case and dial architecture uninterrupted by additional subdials or pushers. The Marine Chronographe 5527, by contrast, integrates the chronograph complication within the same design language, an exercise in retaining visual coherence while adding measurable mechanical capability. Breguet has not disclosed specific calibre references in this communication.
Heritage & Market Position
The Marine line traces directly to Abraham-Louis Breguet’s 1815 appointment as Horologer to the French Royal Navy, a historical credential the Maison has consistently treated as a genuine lineage rather than a decorative flourish. Against this backdrop, the new dial and material choices signal a considered update pitched at collectors who prize formal heritage but want a contemporary wrist presence.
For the Gulf market, where sports-adjacent dress watches in titanium have gained considerable ground, the Marine’s positioning sits at a productive intersection. Collectors in the Emirates and across the wider region can enquire through authorised Breguet retailers.
