Breguet Marine 3400SA – Two-Tone Guilloche Dial
Traditional Elegance In A Robust Format
The Breguet Marine reference 3400SA is a distinct execution of the brand's nautical heritage, blending the formality of a dress watch with a more resilient case design. This 1990s example features the quintessential white guilloche dial and blued steel pomme hands that are synonymous with the House of Breguet. The two-tone construction highlights the stepped bezel and the unique crown guard architecture, providing a level of visual depth that all-steel models often lack. It represents an era where Breguet successfully translated its 18th-century design language into a modern, daily wearable context.
The Art Of The Guilloche Dial
Breguet is known for its commitment to traditional finishing, and the dial on this Marine is no exception. The hand-turned guilloche pattern provides a texture that catches the light without being reflective, creating a sophisticated backdrop for the Roman numeral markers. While the Marine series was designed as a sports-adjacent line, the dial remains purely classical. This specific configuration is for the collector who values the hand-finished elements of high horology but needs a watch that can handle more than just a formal occasion.
Honest Condition On An Original Strap
The watch is in very good condition. The two-tone case showing honest surface wear appropriate for its age while maintaining the sharpness of the lugs and fluted case flanks. Both the guilloche dial and the sapphire crystal are in excellent shape with no visible flaws. The watch remains on its original Breguet strap and clasp. The leather shows visible wear and is nearing the end of its lifespan, though we have retained it to keep the original set intact. After passing our test bench, the automatic movement is running strong.
A Sophisticated Alternative For Daily Wear
At 35mm, this piece offers the perfect proportions for a refined daily driver. It sits flat on the wrist and carries the prestige of a premier manufacturer without being loud or oversized. The combination of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold makes it incredibly versatile, allowing it to work across a variety of styles and settings. It's a confident choice for the person who wants a foundational Breguet that's more durable than a standard dress watch but far more elegant than a typical sports model.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
