Breguet 7097BB Tradition Seconde Retrograde 18K White Gold Skeleton Dial

The Breguet Tradition Seconde Retrograde ref. 7097BB/G1/9WU is a boutique‑exclusive modern classic that pays homage to Abraham‑Louis Breguet’s pioneering spirit. Housed in a 40 mm 18‑carat white gold case released in the early 2020s, this model features a skeletonized front that exposes the beautifully finished mainplate, bridges, escapement and barrel—an aesthetic tribute to Breguet’s souscription watches. At 10 o’clock, the retrograde seconds hand arcs gracefully and snaps back at 60 seconds, while the off‑center silvered guilloche dial at 12 o’clock displays hours and minutes with blued Breguet hands. Powered by the in‑house automatic caliber 505 SR1 with a silicon Breguet balance spring, inverted straight‑line lever escapement, 50‑hour power reserve and approximately 38 jewels, the movement is visible through both the open dial and sapphire case back. Water‑resistant to 3 bar (30 m), the watch balances technical sophistication with collector appeal, offering a compelling blend of heritage, modern innovation and visual drama that resonates deeply with seasoned connoisseurs.
