Introduction
A fine example of their craftsmanship and their Tradition collection, the Breguet ref. 7097BBG19WU is a stunningly executed piece of high-end horology. Powered by the automatic cal. 581DR, the ref. 7097’s movement is on display on the front and rear of the watch where its anthracite architecture displays Breguet’s artisanal craftsmanship. However, while the cal. 581DR is the star of the show, Breguet did not skip out on fitting the ref. 7097 with a stunning dial. Indeed, it sports an off-centre dial in silvered gold that has been engine-turned by hand and comes complete with Breguet’s eponymous hands, Roman numerals and a retrograde seconds subdial at the 9 o’clock position. Furthermore, its case is made of 18-carat white gold and continues with the theme of displaying Breguet’s signature elements with its stunning lugs and a coin-edge midcase that harkens back to Breguet’s mid-century timepieces. With its plethora of fine details, stunning craftsmanship and impressive design, the ref. 7097 gives a holistic view at Breguet as a luxury watchmaker from its dial and case to its impeccable movement and thoughtfully executed design.
