In the
late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries the legendary Swiss
watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet attained a phenomenal amount of
horological achievements: he assisted in the development of the
automatic watch, created advancements in the lever escapement, designed
an early shock protection device, and last, but certainly not least, he
invented the tourbillon.
From this pioneering spirit comes the Breguet Marine
Chronograph, a sumptuous timepiece of gorgeous luxury with classic
stylings. This watch’s stellar polished 18K white gold case measures 42
mm in diameter and rests upon a brand new black leather strap with a
deployant buckle.
Other case features include a terrific 300 m / 30 atm
water resistance, a screw-down winding crown, a scratch-resistant
sapphire crystal, and an exhibition case back that allows you to witness
the movement in action.
Speaking of the movement, this watch is driven by the
Breguet 583q/1 caliber, a self-winding automatic movement that possesses
24 jewels and delivers a 48-hour power reserve.
The hand-engraved (engine-turned) silver dial catches the
eye and will certainly serve as a conversation piece. Classic luminous
and blued Breguet hands are prominent against the cool beauty of the
dial.
In addition, there are applied blued steel Roman numerals
upon the hour and a minute track with Arabic numerals. There is a small
seconds subdial at 9 and a date window at 6. Chronograph functions
include a central seconds hand (blued), a minute hand (silver with
luminous tip), and a 12-hour counter at 6.
Classic stylings and expert artistry and craftsmanship
come together famously in this Breguet Marine Chronograph, and we are
confident that it will make an excellent addition to your collection.
