Collection
Gerard (jlux) kicks off the week by showcasing his enduring Breguet Marine Big Date, a testament to its timeless appeal and robust design. His post highlights how a watch with significant history in one's collection can continue to offer both strong character and elegance. This piece invites readers to appreciate the lasting value of a well-chosen timepiece.
The Reference 5817 represents Breguet's Marine Automatic collection in a 39mm configuration with precious metal construction. This reference positions itself within the brand's nautical-themed lineup as an automatic timepiece combining traditional marine aesthetics with contemporary proportions.
The 39mm case is constructed from 18k rose gold and features a fluted bezel design. A silver dial provides the face of the timepiece, protected by sapphire crystal. The automatic movement provides self-winding functionality, while the case construction offers water resistance to 100 meters depth.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking a precious metal sports watch with marine-inspired design elements. The rose gold case material and fluted bezel treatment distinguish this reference within the Marine Automatic range. The 39mm case diameter provides contemporary wrist presence while maintaining versatility across different wearing occasions.
Not at all surprised it is providing joy for all these years 👍🏻
For some reason I feel like we don't see the black dial as often as the silver one but they both have their own charm.
I think it looks best on this black dial.
No idea why they nuked it.
The dial really is just so good, i hope you continue to wear and enjoy it in good health for a long time to come. Marc
and a very beautiful nautilus-like rotor. Best, Emmanuel
