I always thought the 5817 was a very unique and underrated watch

It kept a lot of the Breguet DNA but put the elements together in a modern way.
This on the other hand.
Late 90s numerals. Lugs that look like they attach to something but don't. Lines, lines and more lines on the rubber
When there is such a rich design history from the brand , why do we get this?

Wow! Very bold of Breguet indeed.

I think I'll have to give this one some time to resonate with me... Oddly Breguet and non-Breguet at the same time...like someone stole some of Breguet's design cues, skewed them, and made a watch. Cheers, John

I was just about to post this. Still in shock!

A lot of the Breguet DNA is gone! These could be from another brand. Still, they felt they had to modernize the line, and they are doing that. Maybe in time...but I may buy another Marine from the old line just because I like it so much. In fact, I have e...
Oh dear. Not for me.

Those indices look terrible in my opinion. Nice to see any brand trying something new but not this one which is so “un- Breguet”. Regards Kev.
Now here’s the basic version...

... and in my personal view they have done a great job with the exception of the roman numerals. I like the case, the lugs, the hands, the strap, the dial, hopefully they reconsider the numerals, that would put it 100% right 😉 Interesting that they did no...
Better, for sure.

Not such a fan of the integrated strap and lugs, and I feel that the lugs should be a bit wider give the perceived diameter of the case.
I'm changing my mind, after this image

We are not used to look at numerals like those, BUT i assume the night vision should be awesome. Actually they are neither too big nor bold, it's just a new way to show roman numerals on a dial. I'm waiting for technical details, hoping is not too big and...
Also no stainless version.

I think the gold ones are much nicer than the titanium. The chrono especially.
Time only is nice

Man, it is terrible!

Too many things to dislike: the messy dial, fonts, marks & hands in subdials, main hands, main index, crowns, crown guard at 3:30, pusher, lugs... Oh, and that bell somewhere in the middle .... Probably the ugliest watch I have seen in 2018.
Yes
By: MTR : March 23rd, 2018-08:30
this watch is unbelievable ugly... :-/
Eeek, I don't know

It has the look of another brand to me... not saying it looks like a specific other brand... but not like a Breguet. Maybe that's what Breguet 'needs' commercially right now?
