I am a great fan of the Breguet La Tradition watches. In fact, I owned the 7057 in white gold a few years ago. The only reason why I let it go was the size : at 40 mm (the real size even being closer to 40.5 mm) with the typical Breguet long and straight ... 

Great writeup!

The Traditions are beautiful and intriguing watches, very fitting for the brand as well.

Your words and photographs do not disappoint Henrik - Wonderful report my friend ! I think the hardest challenge for a manufacturer with such heritage is to combined the references of the

past with a new, contemporary design and Breguet has absolutely done this with the Tradition line. No wonder Philippe Dufour stated that this was the watch he would have liked to have made. Best wishes Will. ...  

Bravo Henrik

actually I’m a big fan of the Breguet Tradition. My wish being the 7027 in white gold and Greg dial, pretty hard to find. ...  

Great write-up and photos. Thanks for posting!

My preference is the manual 7027 in 37mm. It is actually the same movement as the larger 40mm (which only has a larger case and dial, with the power reserve overlapping the dial...). ...
