Description:: NEW! "The Tradition" Wristwatch, Now Available in White Gold!
Main Dial is displayed with a beautifully hand engraved silver Guilloche (engine-turned) dial located at the 12 o'clock position. The rest of the watch has an open dial displaying the inner movement of the watch & displaying some the immediately recognizable Breguet innovations such as the "pare-chute" - this feature protects the balance pivot from cracking during shock (such as a drop or a minor knock).

📖 About This Reference

The Breguet La Tradition 7027 represents a masterful homage to Abraham-Louis Breguet s revolutionary horological innovations, specifically drawing inspiration from his souscription watches of the late 18th century. This reference exemplifies Breguet s philosophy of making the mechanical movement the star of the show, with the brand s signature open-dial architecture revealing the intricate workings within. The La Tradition collection, introduced in the early 2000s, pays tribute to Breguet s historical commitment to technical transparency and educational watchmaking, where the movement components themselves become the primary aesthetic element. This particular reference showcases the manufacture s ability to seamlessly blend centuries-old design principles with contemporary horological sophistication. At the heart of the 7027 beats the manufacture Caliber 505SR, an automatic movement that demonstrates Breguet s technical mastery through its skeletonized construction and classical finishing. The movement features the brand s distinctive pare-chute shock protection system, a direct descendant of Breguet s original invention from 1790, alongside a silicon escapement wheel and pallet fork that enhance both precision and magnetic resistance. The off-center dial arrangement at 12 o clock displays hours and minutes via traditional Breguet open-tipped hands, while the remaining dial space reveals the movement s barrel, gear train, and oscillating weight. The slate gray dial provides an elegant contrast to the exposed mechanical elements, creating depth and visual hierarchy within the 40mm white gold case. The 7027 s design language epitomizes Breguet s neoclassical aesthetic through its coin-edge bezel, engine-turned surfaces, and the signature Breguet numerals adorning the subsidiary dial. The sapphire crystal case construction offers complete transparency, allowing appreciation of the movement s architecture from multiple angles. From a collectibility standpoint, this reference occupies a significant position within the La Tradition lineup, representing the perfect entry point into Breguet s philosophy of mechanical transparency while maintaining the brand s historical design codes. The combination of manufacture movement, precious metal construction, and the prestigious Breguet heritage ensures strong positioning within the contemporary haute horlogerie market, appealing to collectors who value both technical innovation and classical watchmaking traditions.

Collector Discussions

7037 vs. 7057
Struggling to choose between the Breguet Tradition models 7037 and 7057. Pros of 7037 include retrograde second hand and self-winding rotor; cons include small dial. Pros of 7057 include larger dial, but lacks rotor.

Quai de l’horloge
I believe Breguet had his atelier at 39, Quai de l’horloge in Paris? Brought the 7027 back to its roots! Greetings from sunny Paris!

Breguet Tradition 7027
I’ve been lurking for this one for years now. It took me some time to convince me I have to buy one and then a couple of months to find the nice one and a couple of months to arrange the deal with the buyer. It’s now all set and I’m a proudly owner of a Breguet. I’m happy

Tradition dilemma- 7027 vs 7037 vs 7097
Hi all, The Breguet Tradition has been on my list for quite some years and I have been waiting for the right time to get it. I am now close to a position to get it and all of a sudden, I am not sure which model to get! I have always liked the yellow gold 7027. Especially for Akiro’s beautiful photos

Is our beloved 7027 discontinued?
I've been a stalker on these forums for a long time and i've read that quite a few of us here like the 7027 with its 37mm case, perfect proportions (something lacking in the 7057) etc. The 7027 is a watch that i fell in love with in an instant. It kind of changed how i looked at watches and served a
