THE BREGUET MARINE CHRONOGRAPHE 5527 WATCH REVIEW

The Marine Chronographe utilized in this review is cased 

In titanium having a fluted caseband. Other variants with various dial designs can be found in gold and silver. The extended lugs is comparable to a built-in lugs design, and it is very well construed within this rendition. Quite important is its uniqueness, while retaining that old ‘screw’ lugs design DNA in the older models. The timepiece measures 42.3 mm across and it has a azure- very caseback. It's also water-resistant against 10 bar (100m).

THE BREGUET MARINE CHRONOGRAPHE 5527 WATCH REVIEW

Dial readability, particularly in a dive style watch is definitely an item of contention beside me. You will be able to browse the time with only a peek without having to look for both your hands or markers. The Spinnaker Tavolara pulls this off well. The hour/minute/second hands are large, different in colors and shape, which enables these to stick out around the dial, the actual way it ought to be. I don't need the big sail in the 12 position, however i realize that belongs to Spinnaker’s branding then one that they like to highlight. The sail in addition to the many other markers are applied, not printed and therefore are full of generous levels of lume compound.

The situation is a great contrast of straight sharp lines 

And angles with rounded edges. As possible seen around the lugs portion, straight line is combined with sharp angles for any more industrial look, after which contrasted with nicely polished and rounded chamfered edges around the pushers and side situation. The mix of brushed and polished surfaces increase the visual spectacle. To help keep the profile from the watch slim, visual illusions just like a double step bezel can be used, a tapered gradient following the straight fluted caseband (a Breguet icon).

The general style of the timepiece is sporty, having a ardoise color theme central towards the design. The slate dial includes a uneven subdial layout, having a large and overlapping minutes counter along with a small seconds counter. The 3 subdials are arranged inside a subtle small, medium, large layout with indent indicator rings surrounding the 3. Effectively, the dial plays with depths, from applied indices to ‘raised’ platforms for that subdial hands. Subtle design details increase the legibility and intrigue from the dial display. Breguet has clearly achieved fun elements with an excessively created watch segment whilst not compromising the brand’s integrity. Truly, it's all within the details.

While penning this, the author thinks aloud 

At just how the integrated lugs design works so a lot better than the older model straight lugs. The older design looks almost too stuffy as compared to the new Marine Chronographe. Both your hands from the watch received an update too. It's possible to still begin to see the traditional Breguet hands design, however this time there's no eliminate ring, however a overlapping straight line using the space full of Superluminova.

The Breguet Marine Chronographe utilizes a self-winding movement, Cal. 582QA. The movement is numbered and signed having a 48- hour power reserve. It requires by using it we've got the technology and gratifaction of Breguet movements, by having an inverted in-line lever escapement with plastic horns. The movement also utilizes a plastic spring balance and beats at 4 Hz. The movement is satisfactorily finished at its cost point, with geneve stripes, perlage plates and a few chamfered bridges. For many moving parts, a high layer dressage can be used. The viewable layout from the movement can also be rather distinctive and engaging to see.
