Breguet surprises with the gem-set Marine Chronograph 5529, opening up new vistas for the collection

NEW DEPTHS

Without a platform to showcase most of the releases for the year, Breguet (and all Swatch Group brands) can be counted on to drop a surprise (or a few) on the world. Such was the case when releases on two new references in the Marine collection landed in our inboxes in May. These are the Marine Chronograph 5529 and Marine 9518, a time-only petite model. We had already planned to showcase the Type XX models with all-new bracelets but the Marine releases fit better with the overall luxed-up world of fine watchmaking. So once again then, we enter the world of the sports elegance elevated timepiece. The elevation here comes in the form of diamonds, which in the case of the chronograph model is of the baguette variety. Thus this story zooms in on reference 5529, even though the time-only watch probably has a clearer audience in mind.
