Thanks for the review FX. This model is an outatanding addition to the La Tradition line. I still need to decide which I like best as there are several that are amazing in their own way...

but it is really nice to see that Breguet thought outside the box on this model to incorporate a date function without tampering with the symmetry of the dial 👍

Hands on review of the Breguet Tradition Quantieme Retrograde ref. 7597

 
 By: foversta : October 12th, 2020-14:16
Inspired by the Souscription watches of the late 18th century, the Tradition collection is, in my opinion, the true cornerstone of Breguet's catalogue. Indeed, it has given a dynamic impetus to the brand thanks to its various models whose mechanisms are v...  

What a feast for the eye this one. [nt]

This is an interesting watch. I pause only concerning the lugs. They seem long, too long. Hopefully to be seen in the metal some day. Thank you for the fine review. M4

I’ve had my eye on a 7097 for a long time now, and what struck me right away in your photo is the presence of two blued screws to fasten the dial to the movement. I had to look back at saved photos to verify they didn’t also exist on the 7097. I have to s... 

Wonderful review and summary

Here's a 5057 for comparison. I would have like this in white gold as well. ...

I still like my Retrograde seconds a bit better.

Great read FX!

Very nice, and thank you for the review

Breguet did an overall great job with this one. My two quibbles: --blued screws on the dial are distracting. Remove them entirely and find another solution, or use polished steel screws (with smaller screw-heads, if possible). --get rid of the lume (?) or... 

Great write up! Thank you! [nt]

My only "complaint" is the, lovely, date ring: could habe been a little bigger

I manage to read it with the naked eye but maybe in ten yeras time I would need glasses. Apart from that it is a fantastic watch that shows it class and pedigree. Thank you for the read!
