will certainly use them in future reviews too I will start with a bit of a controversial negative that is not specific about this watch but more general. I think a big negative is having too many watches in one collection This is a serious issue because you don't really get to know and enjoy your watches but are just looking about the kick of a new incoming. I am saying this because I wish I had spent even more time with this Breguet Now back to this watch: I would say a downsize would be legibility vs a conventional dial. This is actually what makes the watch very special and I think the 40mm size makes it legibility pretty good. Not so for the manual (7092) version of la tradition which I think the dial size is way too small. Seeing the time is essential for me so I am glad I went with this version. I can't think of any other serious negatives but some more positives The winding (when needed, being an automatic watch) is the smoothest I have ever seen on any way. The winding part seems to be forgotten by many brand, even top ones (e.g. my Omega Apollo anniversary is gorgeous but winding it is a real pain because of the crown guards and how hard is to wind. Even Lange doesn't come even close to the smoothness of this Breguet. had issue also with the Patek gondolo, winding is just not so pleasant). Another issue that some might dislike is the retrograde seconds going over the dial. It never bothered me but worth mentioning perhaps.

Breguet Tradition 7097 4y review

One of my favourite watches has been with me for 4 years now: The Breguet 7097 is one of these watches that doesn't go unnoticed and is never boring. The movement is constantly alive and I love the fact that is automatic with retrograde seconds. I found t...

do you mean the anthracite color of the movement ? I think is a good combination and not too distracting but of course is very personal!

240 winding
By: wellingtoncromwell : June 23rd, 2020-12:40
great detail about the patek 240. any theories about this winding behavior or is it just par for the course for microrotors in general?
Thanks for the extra temptation which I sorely did not need!

I have and still am considering a 7097 in white gold. Unbelievable to think people are more apt to pay double for “you know what” with a multi year waitlist while these can be had all day long. Unfortunate for Breguet but good for me should I ever pull th...
