Whether you own a luxury watch or not, you have probably wondered at least once, "Which model is popular?" While everyone has their own motivations, such as "I want a popular classic model!" or "I want a model that no one else has!" , it is difficult to know which models are actually popular unless you get real-time information.
So this time, we will be revealing the top 5 Breguet models handled by Commit Ginza (hereafter referred to as our store) in the first half of 2025! Please enjoy reading the list while imagining the rankings together with us.
5th place
"Marine" "Ref.5517TI/Y1/5ZU"
In fifth place is the new 2021 "Marine" Ref. 5517TI/Y1/5ZU, which was inspired by the French Navy's marine chronometer (precision watch for navigation).
This watch features a sunburst blue dial and Roman indexes and hands coated with Superluminova, making it not only beautiful but also highly legible. The side of the case is decorated with a coin edge, and the second hand features a motif representing the international signal flag B (Breguet), showing the attention to detail in every detail. With a rubber strap, this is a recommended model that provides an excellent balance between dressiness and sportiness.
4th place
Classic "Ref. 5177BB/2Y/9V6"
Coming in fourth place is the "Classic" Ref. 5177BB/2Y/9V6, which features a beautiful Grand Feu enamel dial and a deep blue color known as Breguet blue.
The dial has a simple design, but if you look closely, you will see that the minute index is decorated with diamonds, stars, and lilies, and the secret Breguet signature is written at the 6 o'clock position on the dial, giving a glimpse of Breguet's attention to detail. The movement is the same as the Classique, which ranked 4th, and is equipped with the in-house "Cal.777Q" that uses a silicon escape wheel and anchor, and the beautiful movement with guilloche engraving and pera rouge decoration can be seen through the see-through bag. It is recommended for those looking for an elegant watch that can be worn both on and off the job.
3rd place
Marine II Chronograph "Ref.5827BR/Z2/5ZU"
Coming in third place is the "Marine II Chronograph" (Ref. 5827BR/Z2/5ZU), a sports model that inherits the brand's traditions, such as Breguet hands, which are one of the brand's most distinctive features, and hand-carved guilloche engraving on the dial that evokes the swirls of the sea.
The Marine was created taking inspiration from the legacy built by Abraham-Louis Breguet, the manufacturer of marine chronometers for the French Navy, and the decorations, such as the guilloche that evokes the sea and the rotor that evokes waves, are hand-carved one by one by artisans, and are finished in the Breguet style down to the smallest detail. With a neat design, high visibility, and elegant details, it is also sturdy enough to withstand everyday use, making it an all-purpose watch that can be used both on and off the job.
2nd place
Marine II Large Date "Ref. 5817ST/12/5V8 "
In second place is the "Marine II Large Date" model with a 39mm case diameter, "Ref. 5817ST/12/5V8", which was discontinued in 2018.
This refreshing and luxurious SS (stainless steel) model features a silver dial with blue hands and indexes, and is equipped with the "Cal. 517GG" movement, with a power reserve of approximately 65 hours, which is sufficient for everyday use. The current "Marine" model has a larger case diameter, so it is a perfect watch for Japanese people and those with slightly smaller wrists.
1st place
Marine II Large Date "Ref.5817ST/Y2/SV0"
Taking the honorable first place is the "Marine II Large Date" "Ref. 5817ST/Y2/SV0", which features an eye-catching blue and silver two-tone dial.
This watch has a rugged and sporty look, but also has an elegant feel, with guilloche engraving, Breguet hands, and coin edges on the side of the case, giving it a Breguet feel. It also features a big date, making it practical. The movement, Cal. 517GG, boasts a power reserve of approximately 65 hours and undeniable performance, making it a great choice for those who want to use it both on and off the job.
