[New for 2022] Breguet Marine Aura Mundi 5557 with a unique time zone display system

Breguet announced the Marine Aura Mundi 5557, which features the "instant jump time zone display system" that it developed in-house in 2011. This world timer features a multi-layered dial that evokes the feeling of an elegant journey.

Equipped with an "instant jump time zone display system" that allows you to switch between home time and local time with a single push.

　Breguet's Aura Mundi has been added to the Marine collection. First introduced in the Classique collection in 2011, the Aura Mundi's revolutionary world time mechanism can now be enjoyed in a highly practical, sporty case.

　The newly announced Marine Aura Mundi 5557 is a travel-inspired model with a world map that fills the entire dial. The dial, which consists of three hands for the hours, minutes, and seconds, a day and night indicator, a date display at 12 o'clock, and a small window at 6 o'clock, is a design that differs from the popular Louis Cottier worldtimer.

　The operation of this watch, called the "Instant Jump Time Zone Display System," is extremely simple. At the 3 o'clock position is a crown for adjusting the date and time. At the 8 o'clock position is another crown for rotating the city name disc.

　First, use the crown at 8 o'clock to display the current city in the small window at 6 o'clock. Next, use the crown at 3 o'clock to adjust the time and date, completing the setting of your home time. If you want to know the time in any city around the world, simply turn the crown at 8 o'clock to display the name of the city of your choice.

　When the city name display changes, the time is also adjusted accordingly. To display the home time again, simply press the crown at 8 o'clock. This instantly adjusts the city name and time.

　In addition, by pressing the crown again, you can restore the display of the local time you were previously viewing. In other words, set the local time to Tokyo, and when you arrive at your destination, rotate the city name disc with the crown at the 8 o'clock position to set the local time. From then on, each time you press the crown at the 8 o'clock position, the display will alternate between home time and local time.

Artistic guilloched dial

　It's not just the mechanism that's noteworthy. The elegant dial is also a major feature of this model. The solid gold base is painted a deep blue with a sunburst finish and is hand-engraved with the Marine collection's iconic wave-shaped guilloched pattern. A sapphire crystal plate depicting the continents and latitude and longitude is placed on top of it to create a three-dimensional effect.

　The moon in the day and night indicator at 4 o'clock is finished with a mysterious rhodium plating, while the sun is a bright shade of rose gold, both of which are intricately hand-stamped with patterns.

As is typical of the Marine collection, this watch is practical enough for everyday use. It is water resistant to 100m, and the hands and indexes are coated with Super-LumiNova for improved visibility in the dark. It is also available with a leather strap, rubber strap, or gold bracelet, making it suitable for a variety of occasions, both on and off the job.

　The new Marine Aura Mundi 5557 is sure to be a watch that guarantees an elegant journey.
