Breguet Tradition 7097 4y review

 
 By: christianch : June 22nd, 2020-14:17
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...  

Very attractive tradition!

I love the retrograde seconds on this one in particular as well!

yes is a very special feature

very nice and interesting!

thank you

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!

For a Review, can you share some interesting and unexpected facts about the watch?

Thank you for telling us about your four years with the watch! We'd really appreciate it if you can tell us some hard fact details as well. What have you noticed about the watch that continues to surprise you? What have you disliked about the watch that o... 

thank you for the ideas

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 y... 

240 winding

great detail about the patek 240. any theories about this winding behavior or is it just par for the course for microrotors in general?

Many micro rotors seem to suffer from inconsistent winding, but not all.

Some early Piaget models had a lot of problems. But I hear the recent models are very problem free. I wonder if anyone with a Chopard 1.96 have any problems.

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... 

white gold is very nice too ! I think the benefit of this watch is that

is unlike any other you will ever see. I believe people want what they can't get so this might explain why. I luckily bought many watches in 2015-2017 where it was really possible to get pretty much everything with minimal or no wait.

Beautifully done Watch

Beautifully done Watch, I have the tourbillion with the chain and fuses, definitely in my top five watches it is a pleasure to watch it right or to wind it, A really unappreciated brand… Jim ...  

Thank you Christian...Jim [nt]
