Breguet Tradition: A Collector's Perspective on Design and Versatility

Key Points from the Discussion

• The Breguet Tradition's design, water resistance, and overall aesthetic are better suited for an all-purpose look, making brightly colored leather a more fitting 'funky' strap choice than rubber.
• The blue accents, whether on hands or dial, enhance the mostly monochromatic movement of the Breguet Tradition. While a blue dial makes this accent a major player, it might detract from the classic understatement of previous versions, making an in-person viewing crucial for evaluation.
• The distinctive shape of the Breguet Tradition series is a homage to Breguet's early pocket watches, a design choice that effectively brings historical elements into contemporary watchmaking.
• The community is debating whether the skeletonized Breguet Tradition models are suitable for rubber straps, or if rubber is exclusively for the Marine line, given the Tradition's unique aesthetic.
