The Breguet Marine Tourbillon Equation Marchante 5887 in black is a flagship model in the Marine collection, reflecting a robust fusion of craftsmanship and maritime history. Housed in platinum, this timepiece offers advanced complications, notably the “equation of time” feature. It is an addition to the earlier released colors, like these blue and silver Breguet Marine Equation Marchante 5887 models.
Its complex mechanism tracks both the standard calendar time and solar time, allowing for precise readings that echo the heritage of Breguet’s marine chronometers. A collection draws from the brand’s history as “Watchmaker to the French Royal Navy,” a title bestowed upon Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1815, affirming its roots in navigation and accuracy.
Complications of the 5887
The Marine Tourbillon Equation Marchante 5887 incorporates a perpetual calendar, a tourbillon, and the running equation of time complication. It has a 43.9-millimeter platinum case with a white gold dial with a black finish. The dial itself has a guilloché “wave” pattern and the crown guard has a wave-shaped profile. Both details link the watch’s aesthetic to its nautical inspiration.
The 5887’s display is meticulously arranged to support its complex functions. Two minute hands serve different purposes: one for standard time and the other for solar time, indicated by a gold-plated sun tip. The perpetual calendar is precise and intuitive, with the date shown by a retrograde hand on an arc across the dial. The day, month, and leap year indicators appear in windows at 10:30 and 1:30, ensuring essential information is readily accessible.
The Breguet Marine Tourbillon Equation Marchante 5887 Black has a power reserve of 80 hours
At the heart of this timepiece lies the self-winding Breguet caliber 581DPE. This movement provides an 80-hour power reserve. Breguet decorates the movement with an engraved “Royal Louis” warship motif, also a tribute to the brand’s maritime heritage. Additionally, the movement includes a hand-engraved compass rose on the barrel, offering a thoughtful nod to navigation.
The tourbillon mechanism, patented by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1801, minimizes the effects of gravity and also shows the running seconds. Furthermore, at the 8 o’clock position is a subtle power reserve indicator. The movement also incorporates a peripheral oscillating weight made of platinum, adorned with a wave motif.
Pricing of this black 5887
The watch comes with a black textured rubber strap and attaches with a triple-blade platinum folding clasp. This choice of strap reinforces the watch’s connection to the ocean while providing comfort for daily wear.
In terms of pricing, the Marine Tourbillon Equation Marchante 5887 retails for about 250 to 300k depending on your location.
