Tradition Seconde Rétrograde 7097

The Tradition collection is constantly evolving. Its changes are gradual and subtle, aimed at preserving the perfect balance originally conceptualised by A.-L. Breguet. The Tradition Seconde Rétrograde 7097 epitomises this philosophy of essentials. The Manufacture has combined two variables to achieve a unique, distinctive result, starting with the hours dial in white Grand Feu enamel. Reflecting the history of the House, this choice significantly alters the aesthetic appeal of the watch. The enamel dial is slightly thicker than a guilloché gold dial, endowing the watch with greater presence and substance. The interplay of subtle organic nuances ensures each enamel dial is one of a kind. The Tradition 7097 reveals the bridges, wheels, escapement, barrel and other movement components that are usually hidden beneath the dial. The display of the hours and minutes by Breguet hollow-tipped hands is complemented at 10 o’clock by the retrograde seconds indication after which this model is named. This timepiece is fitted with a grey calfskin strap and Breguet also offers a likewise grey version in saddle-stitched leather looking rubber.
