Breguet Tradition Ref. 7027

Partially verified

This 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. It incorporates 34 jewels, a straight-line lever escapement, and a blued steel parachute shock absorber. 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.

Object description

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.
