Blue Strap for 5817 Marine
The dark navy blue is subtle, it often appears black or near black just like the heat blued numerals and hands, showing its true colour when the light hits it just so.

Couldn't be happier with this new combination!
Blue Strap for 5817 Marine
Just the latest on this forum to switch over my Marine from the original black rubber to the blue strap intended for the blue dial version. I first saw this combination in the pictures posted by jrwong23 here and on instagram The dark navy blue is subtle,...
Always nice to see some outdoor pictures of the Marine.
And yes, I agree, blue suits very well! Thank you. Nicolas
That made me think of holidays.
Nice pictures indeed! Thanks for sharing with us. And enjoy your beautiful blue that might last longer than this view onto the see. (...don\'t tell me you are resident there...) Best, Kolosstt
Thanks Kolosstt! And I am indeed a resident :) ...
... though you may console yourself that the island/city where I normally live and work is a bit less picturesque!
This blue strap is so much better than the black one ...
I always wondered why watch manufacturers would spend so much time for the design of their timepieces, only to ruin the product with their poverty of imagination when it comes to the accessories. The dial of the Breguet Marine lives from the carefully hea...
Thanks Marcus...
... and yes I absolutely agree manufacturers need to do better with respect to creativity and choice of accessories. A quick look at any enthusiast community shows the popularity of changing straps and bracelets mainly through 3rd party offerings, why not...
Your Breguet Marine must feel right at home in this kind of environment.
Beautiful photos. I love all the blue colors: the water, the strap and the markers on the dial.
Looks like I need to order a blue strap also.
The black has never disappointed me but the blue looks cool. hagwe Bill ...
Absolutely! I fell in love with the watch in its standard configuration...
... but once I saw the blue option I knew I had to have it. Great pic!
Nice one! Welcome to the blue strap club :)
The blue rubber strap makes the Breguet Marine more fun and special imho Here\'s mine saying Hi! Enjoy your Marine in the seas and pools where it belongs Cheers Robin ...
Contrats! It looks great! As Marcus opined
it isn't rocket science to colour coordinate watch accessories and yet often times, not enough efforts have been put in by some of the manufacturers. The Lange Saxonia Calendar is one example. It comes off the factory with a brown leather strap. And the w...
Ian, credit to you
For suggesting that blue strap for my Breguet Marine - I think you started this trend here lol Cheers Robin
Well put! ...
... and kudos for kicking off this blue strap trend for the Marine as per Robin's comment!
Honestly I am not a great fan of blue rubber straps
often for me it looks like "oohh look at me, I want to be cool too" ... ;-) BU HERE, it is different. Due to the blued hands the color makes sense. The slighly baroque case gets a counterpart in the modern strap - and the color is HERE the icing on the ca...
Thank you! And I think the dark navy colour helps keep it subtle and not too loud as some rubber straps can be...
... in keeping with the sporty yet restrained character of the watch.
