Breguet offers the exclusive preview of its Baselworld 2015 timepiece – the Breguet Tradition Automatique Seconde Rétrograde 7097.

Breguet presents the Tradition Automatique Seconde Rétrograde 7097, the newest sequel to the Tradition collection, which was launched back in 2005. This high-end range is comprised of timepieces that showcase the mechanical cores of their movement on top of the baseplate. The collection is inspired by the subscription watches made by Abraham-Louis Breguet, the founder of the brand and the most famous of all French clock and watchmakers. Breguet was among the first to produce these one-hand watches, from 1796. Called “Souscription”, these watches were finely made and yet affordable, as they were sold exclusively on a subscription basis, with a security deposit of a one-fourth of the price, when the order was placed. The watches were rather large (61 mm in diameter) and they were fitted with a simple movement based on a large central barrel.
Breguet Tradition Automatique Seconde Rétrograde 7097 pays a tribute to the mechanisms of the “subscription” watches (which were also used for Breguet’s tact watches) by unveiling the workings of the movement, which are traditionally concealed underneath the baseplate. The gold winding rotor is designed in the spirit of the vintage movements, while the surface of the dial reveals engine-turned hobnail pattern. A dial in silvered gold is off-centered, and it appears at 12 o'clock position, evoking the dials of many of the tact watches that Abraham-Louis Breguet made from 1799 forward.
The new model is named Tradition Automatique Seconde Rétrograde after the seconds hand that appears at 10 o’clock position. The small seconds counter here appears in a circular-brushed semi-circle, while the pare-chute, located at 4 o’clock, balances the composition of the dial. The pare-chute is Breguet’s own invention and it serves to protect the balance from various shocks. It appears on all watches belonging to the Tradition collection.
Breguet Tradition Automatique Seconde Rétrograde 7097 is made of white gold and it measures 40 mm in diameter. The case houses an in-house self-winding movement caliber 505SR1. It beats at a frequenzy of 3Hz, features a straight-line inverted lever escapement with silicon pallets, Breguet overcoil silicon balance spring, and provides at least 50 hours of power reserve. The watch is water resistant to 30 meters and it comes on a black leather strap. Each watch is individually numbered and signed Breguet.
Breguet Tradition Automatique Seconde Rétrograde 7097 (7097BB/G1/9WU) is also available in 18-karat rose gold (7097BR/G1/9WU).
