BreguetThis Breguet Tradition wristwatch, reference 7027, was manufactured in 2007. Housed in an 18K white gold three-body case measuring 38 mm in diameter and 12 mm in thickness, the watch features a coin-edge case band, straight lugs, and a transparent case back.
The movement, designated as Caliber 507 DR, follows a Souscription style with a sandblasted finish.

The balance is monometallic, fitted with four regulating screws, adjusted in five positions, and includes a self-compensating free-sprung Breguet balance spring. The visible dial arrangement features a small, off-center guilloché silver section with radial Roman numerals and a retrograde power reserve indication positioned at 11 o'clock.

- Case and Dial Construction
- The watch is presented in a three-body, solid 18K white gold case, finished with a polished surface. Key structural elements include a coin-edge band, a rounded bezel, and straight lugs fitted with white gold screwed bars. The case design incorporates sapphire crystals on both the front and the back, allowing for a transparent view of the internal mechanism. The display is characterized by its visible movement architecture. An off-center silver dial, decorated with a guilloché pattern, provides timekeeping via radial Roman numerals. A retrograde power reserve indication is integrated into the display at the 11 o'clock position. The visual aesthetic is balanced by the inclusion of traditional blued steel Breguet hands.
- Movement and Mechanical Details
- Power is provided by the Caliber 507 DR, which is constructed in a Souscription style featuring a sandblasted finish. The movement utilizes 34 jewels and operates with a straight-line lever escapement. Mechanical regulation is managed by a monometallic balance equipped with four regulating screws, adjusted to five positions. Further technical features include a blued steel parachute shock absorber and a self-compensating free-sprung Breguet balance spring. The movement is designed to display power reserve status directly on the dial side, providing a thematic consistency with the open-worked design of the watch. All primary components, including the dial, case, and movement, bear the Breguet signature.
