About this subject

The Breguet Marine Chronograph 5527 is a wristwatch that pays tribute to the Maison Breguet's long tradition with navigation and the maritime world. Abraham-Louis Breguet, founder of the brand, was appointed chronometer maker to the French Royal Navy in 1815, a title that inspired the Marine collection. The model 5527 features an automatic chronograph with date and a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. Its self-winding movement, the caliber Breguet 582Q, is visible through the sapphire caseback and offers integrated chronograph functions with column wheels for smooth operation. The 18-karat gold dial displays a hand-guilloché wave pattern typical of the Marine collection, giving a three-dimensional appearance. The anchor-shaped hands and Roman numerals reinforce the nautical aesthetic. The 42 mm case is available in pink or white gold, with a fluted bezel and crown bearing the Breguet logo. The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, suitable for daily wear yet still elegant. The integrated rubber or leather strap completes the sporty but sophisticated look. Production is limited, and each piece is individually assembled and adjusted following Breguet's rigorous standards in Vallée de Joux, Switzerland. Interestingly, the chronograph uses a vertical clutch system that reduces wear and improves precision. The estimated price is around 30,000 euros, reflecting the handcrafted finishing and COSC certified chronometer movement.
