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?

That’s a bold move, isn’t it? The new Breguet Marine

The entire model family can be seen on the Breguet website. Cheers Henrik ...  

Love the fact that they're trying something new, bold and sporty

BUT I'm still trying to settle with the hour markers/indices...

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 wouldn't have recognised this timepiece as a Breguet without the brand written on the dial. I don't know what to think about it. I'm lost! 😳

Exactly the same dial/functions layout (just the central second vs sub one is different) than my Réveil du Tsar but totally different style. Best wishes Alkiro

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.

 
 By: vitalsigns : March 22nd, 2018-09:09
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... 

Does Breguet really need to plagiarize the hands ....

... from Baume & Mercier's "Riviera"? That distorted "Reveil"-offspring looks cheap, I would even pass that one as a Kickstarter-early bird offer. Marcus ...  

Also no stainless version.

I think the gold ones are much nicer than the titanium. The chrono especially.

At first glance I was thinking to a Claret or a Blancpain Evo something

 
 By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : March 22nd, 2018-11:05
I am definitely struck. First vibes are not positive.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Very politely spoken - indeed bold!

 
 By: MCG (Markus) : March 22nd, 2018-12:40
I would have thought it might be a fake? Maybe it koos different in real? I‘m lost too… 😵🤯🤖

Time only is nice

40 mm, don't know the thickness ...  

That looks like a Ulysse Nardin.........

Not a fan of this at all!

It looks like so many other brands but definitely not a Breguet!

Maybe that’s what they’re trying to do? Target a new audience! But definitely not my cup of tea! Laurent

These terrible indices...

 
 By: MTR : March 22nd, 2018-16:27
Sorry, not for me. Best, Thomas

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... :-/

I try to stay in the "If you don't have anything nice to say camp"

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : March 22nd, 2018-19:06
But I really can't think of any indices I have seen in my life that I prefer less. Sorry, Breguet!

Ouch! To me it looks like a Ulysee Nardin

 
 By: Horology75 : March 22nd, 2018-22:35
Complete loss of DNA..no Breguet hands , Breguet dial and the coin edge casing

100% agree ! [nt]

 
 By: templetowers : March 22nd, 2018-23:50

Yes :) I think so too :)

Eeek, I don't know

 
 By: Mostel : April 7th, 2018-17:08
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?
