BreguetMarine Automatic Big Date

Offered by a private vendor, this 2007 Breguet Marine Automatic Big Date ref. 5817ST/12/5V8 is accompanied by its display box. The vendor advises the watch is in good working order and has graded it ‘A’ for condition. The images appear consistent with that assessment, showing only light hairline marks on the case.

Measuring 39mm in diameter, the stainless steel case is highly nuanced with coin-edged flanks and strongly defined lugs which are welded on and hand-finished. A wave theme is incorporated throughout, including on the crown guards and the movement’s winding rotor. The dial has guilloche throughout with Roman numeral hours markers and a big date aperture at 6 o’clock. In keeping with the watch’s maritime theme, a waterproof rubber strap is attached to the case and embellished with a hobnail pattern.

This reference is powered by Breguet’s 517GG self-winding calibre, which is handsomely hand-finished and boasts a 65-hour power reserve. In line with the sporty personality of the Marine line, the watch has a water resistance of 100 metres.

The Breguet Marine family was launched in 1990 and draws on the brand’s nautical heritage of producing timekeeping equipment from the French Navy.
