BREGUET MARINE 5517 SUPPORTS RACE FOR WATER
IN CELEBRATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP with marine environmental organization Race for Water, Breguet has created a special edition of its
Marine 5517 timepiece. The new watch is set in a titanium case with a custom blue dial that features the Race for Water ship in a clous de Paris
motif. The Breguet Marine Race for Water Special Edition will travel on the wrists of Race for Water explorers and accompanying them in their
mission. They will embark on an oceanic tour with a ship powered with hydrogen and solar energy. Called the Race for Water Odyssey, the mis-
sion will make about thirty-five stopovers around the world and provide an opportunity for scientists and decision-makers to gather and share
what they have learned about the need to preserve water. A special exhibition Breguet launched at Baselworld 2018 will travel to various desti-
nations to further contribute in raising awareness for this mission. Breguet says it will support the Odyssey through its completion in 2021.
