Tradition 7097 Watch, 40mm

The Tradition 7097 watch is a true masterpiece crafted in 18-carat rose gold, showcasing exceptional attention to detail and precision engineering. With its off-centered dial and small seconds indicated at 10 o’clock through a retrograde hand, this timepiece exudes elegance and sophistication. The symmetrical design of the watch, belonging to the Tradition collection, highlights the intricate beauty of its exposed movement components, such as the bridges, wheels, escapement, and barrel, which are usually concealed beneath the dial. Notably, the pare-chute located at 4 o’clock, a Breguet invention designed to protect the balance wheel pivots from impact, adds a unique touch to the timepiece, serving as the forerunner of modern shock protection mechanisms like “Incabloc”.

The 18-carat rose gold case encases a self-winding anthracite movement with retrograde seconds, featuring a silicon Breguet balance-spring that ensures exceptional accuracy. The off-centered dial, meticulously crafted from silvered gold and hand-engraved with a rose engine, adds a touch of artistry to the watch’s design. Furthermore, the sapphire crystal case back offers a glimpse into the intricate inner workings of the timepiece, allowing the wearer to marvel at its craftsmanship. With water resistance to 3 bar (30 meters), this watch is as durable as it is beautiful, and its 40mm diameter makes it a statement piece on any wrist.

The Tradition 7097 is a blend of technical prowess and artistic refinement, boasting a dark grey self-winding movement, retrograde seconds, and an elegant alligator strap. This exquisite timepiece is a testament to Breguet’s legacy of innovation and craftsmanship, making it a coveted addition to any watch connoisseur’s collection.
