LEGACY AND MODERNITY
This elegant duo, a real powerhouse of the manufacture’s craftsmanship, highlights perfectly-mastered engineering and stylistics, delivering a resolutely up-to-the-minute result.
Abraham-Louis Breguet’s invention, officially created on June 26, 1801, is forever wowing us with its ability to adapt. In short, Breguet‘s sportiest collection is joined by two new references boasting the famous tourbillon, completing its revolutions in 60 seconds, this time round. The regulating device reigns at 5 o’clock on a sunburst-finished slate or blue dial. The Marine Tourbillon 5577 models are, as such, rolled out in two versions, both utterly precious, one in rose gold, the other in platinum. Both are designed around a 42.5 mm-diameter, 9.35 mm-slim case, waterproof to depths of 100 meters. This sleekness is all down to the extra-thin 581 caliber that stands at just 3 mm high.
The selfwinding movement stands out through its performances. The presence of a silicon balance spring make it insensitive to the negative effects of magnetic fields, in other words, a sure pledge of accuracy. What’s more, it flaunts a comfortable power reserve of 80 hours. During this period, the device drives the “apple”-shaped hour and minute hands coated with luminescent material, which hover over an hour chapter comprising Roman numerals. Last but not least, the Marine Tourbillon 5577 reveals a host of its other features via the sapphire-crystal caseback. We discover the tourbillon’s hidden face, as well as the delicate decorations of the peripheral oscillating weight. To top everything off, a magnificent compass rose adorns the barrel drum. It goes without saying that Breguet is definitely pursuing the superlative fine watching path.
