Breguet Tradition Seconde Rétrograde Blue 7097BB/GY/9WU - Men's watch

The entire case and buckle are crafted from 18K white gold. Measuring 40mm in diameter and 11.8mm thick, the watch is paired with an off-centre navy blue dial decorated with hand-made guilloché on a rose engine — a detail that strongly reflects Breguet’s classical DNA.

The most captivating aspect of the 7097 lies in the way it reveals the entire movement architecture directly on the dial side. Rather than concealing the mechanical components beneath the dial in a traditional manner, Breguet brings the bridges, gears, mainspring barrel, escapement, and structural elements into full view, creating the symmetrical layout that defines the Tradition collection.

A signature feature of this model is the seconde rétrograde mechanism — a retrograde seconds hand positioned around 10 o’clock. Instead of moving in a traditional circular path, the seconds hand travels along an arc before snapping back to its starting point, creating a display that feels both lively and mechanically expressive. The hour and minute hands are crafted in Breguet’s signature style, adding a refined finishing touch to the watch’s unmistakably classical character.

Another highly valuable detail appears at around 4 o’clock: the "pare-chute" - Breguet’s historically significant shock-protection system. The brand describes it as a precursor to modern anti-shock devices such as Incabloc. In a watch already so deeply rooted in heritage, the presence of the pare-chute is not merely a technical feature, but almost a historical signature — a reminder that Breguet is not only a classical watchmaker, but also one of the great names that helped lay the foundations of modern horology.

Inside the watch is the self-winding Calibre 505SR1, offering a 50h power reserve and fitted with a Breguet silicon balance spring. The **oscillating weight** is finished with a mirror polish, with only the word **“Breguet”** engraved by hand on its surface — a quiet expression of the maison’s refined and understated approach to design.
