Breguet Tradition watches are a particularly demanding base for creating complications. This collection is based on Abraham Louis Breguet’s famous Sousscription watch. The watch was designed to be a relatively inexpensive yet very high-quality timepiece, encapsulating the master’s watchmaking philosophy to its core.
Breguet Tradition Watch Review
The Today’s Tradition watch uses the structure of the Subscription watch as the basis for its design, but the content hidden behind the original’s case back has been moved to the watch’s dial, making it visible in the modern watch.
In general, the Breguet Tradition collection is a favorite of all watch lovers who want to see what’s inside a watch. This is becoming more common in watchmaking and shows off the mechanics of the caliber.
Breguet is receiving applause around the world for its collection of this new trend, which has been well-received by horologists around the world. GMT home time displays both the hour and minute hands on a subdial between the 7 and 9 o’clock positions on the dial.
One of the unique things about this watch is that you can see both sides of the movement from both sides of the watch, which is a Christmas in July situation for watch fans who want to admire the caliber.
The home time subdial can be changed in one-hour increments using a button on the side of the 18K rose gold case with Breguet’s signature coin edge at 10 o’clock. Because there is no traditional dial, you see an anthracite gray plate that highlights the jewels and components.
This watch was produced in limited quantities and attracted the attention of many people. Models from the Tradition collection are available in several material options: 18k rose gold, 18k white gold, and platinum. Some come with GMT, while others feature retrograde dates or tourbillon complications.
Every watch in this collection screams forward-thinking while remaining faithful to tradition. Some of the younger generations might say it has a steampunk feel, but to me, there is nothing funky about this watch.
