Some watches are designed to be admired, but the Breguet Tradition was designed to be studied. In 2005, Breguet...launched a watch that featured an open-worked dial, emphasizing key components on the dial the brand wished to showcase. This model differed from a skeleton dial, which reveals a movement's architecture. In this case, Breguet’s inspiration came from the subscription watches made famous when Abram-Louis Breguet developed unique and innovative timepieces commissioned by clients.
This 40mm Tradition, encased in 18K white gold, features the brand’s signature fluted case band exuding timeless elegance. The open-worked design showcases the movement’s gear train, barrel, and escapement, resulting in an architectural masterpiece beneath the sapphire crystal. A finely hand-engraved silvered gold dial sits off-center, a subtle nod to Breguet’s historical aesthetic. At the same time, the retrograde seconds complication at 10 o’clock brings a contemporary dynamism to the design. At its heart beats the self-winding Caliber 505SR1, featuring a silicon balance spring for enhanced precision and a 50-hour power reserve. For collectors and connoisseurs alike, the reference 7097BB is a living tribute to one of watchmaking’s most significant pioneers. Marrying tradition with modern innovation, this Breguet Tradition captures the essence of Breguet’s legacy while embracing cutting-edge materials and craftsmanship.

To qualify as a Tourneau Certified Pre-Owned, a watch must meet superior standards of quality. Our 30+ master watchmakers perform a comprehensive 30-point inspection on every single timepiece that comes through our doors to verify that every watch part is authentic and functions within original factory specifications.
Fully Serviced
Every Tourneau Certified Authentic Pre-Owned watch is guaranteed to function within its original factory specifications. Each watch goes through a careful restoration process conducted by one of our master watchmakers. Our restoration process begins with a full movement service and overhaul if necessary to inspect each and every piece of the movement. Next, each piece is cleaned, lubricated and put back together. Any worn or broken parts are replaced using only original manufacture parts to maintain authenticity. The restoration process includes expert cleaning and polishing, testing of water pressure and magnetization and the replacement of straps.
2-Year Warranty
We have been selling and maintaining fine watches for over 115 years and are therefore very confident in our restoration process. To help provide extended care to you and your timepiece, a two-year warranty is included with every Tourneau Certified Pre-Owned watch to cover any internal movement defects. We care about your watch just as much as you do, and we will work to ensure you the best possible experience.
