Breguet Tradition 40mm 7057BB/11/9W6 White Gold

The Breguet Tradition reference 7057BB/11/9W6 is a striking showcase of the brand’s technical heritage, drawing direct inspiration from Abraham-Louis Breguet’s early souscription and tact watches. Its silver dial is deliberately offset and partially suspended, allowing the wearer a clear view of the movement architecture beneath. Exposed gears, bridges, and barrels dominate the front of the watch, creating a sense of mechanical depth that is both educational and visually compelling. This layout emphasizes function-driven beauty, turning the movement itself into the dial rather than hiding it behind decoration.

The 40 mm case in 18K white gold balances classical proportions with a contemporary wrist presence, offering elegance without excess. Inside, the hand-wound Caliber 507 delivers traditional craftsmanship, highlighted by fine finishing and a symmetrical, almost architectural construction. Paired with a black alligator leather strap, the watch maintains a refined dress character despite its highly technical appearance. With its fusion of historical design codes and modern execution, the Tradition 7057 stands as one of the purest expressions of Breguet’s identity—where horological history and mechanical artistry coexist in perfect harmony.
