Twenty years after its 2005 debut, the Breguet Tradition collection debuts four new references, representing the most substantive rethinking of the line since its launch. The changes are deliberate rather than dramatic—Arabic numerals in place of Roman, Grand Feu enamel dials where guilloché gold once sat, new movement colorways and finishes, and rubber straps making their first appearance on a Tradition wrist—but taken together they shift the collection's center of gravity in a way that feels genuinely modern without abandoning what made it essential.
Things to Know About the Watches
The lead model, the Breguet Tradition Seconde Rétrograde 7037, makes the boldest statement: an entirely blue movement, achieved through ALD treatment on both bridges and mainplate, paired with a white Grand Feu enamel dial carrying Breguet Arabic numerals—the same numeral style Abraham-Louis Breguet himself adopted in 1799. The 38 mm white gold case is stripped of complications beyond hours, minutes, and a retrograde seconds hand at 10 o'clock, letting the all-blue calibre do the talking. A platinum-black variant adds a starker alternative.
The Breguet Tradition GMT 7067 makes its own case for the collection's artistic range. Its 40 mm platinum case houses a green-gradient Grand Feu enamel dial—a technical achievement requiring master enamellers to execute a seamless fade from pine green at the center to absolute black at the rim. The dual-time display places local time on the main dial and home time on a subdial at 8 o'clock, with an Arabic or Oriental numeral option for the latter—the Oriental variant reviving a bespoke customization Abraham-Louis Breguet offered Ottoman clients in the early 1800s.
The Breguet Tradition Seconde Rétrograde 7097 takes a quieter route: a 40 mm rose gold case, a white Grand Feu enamel dial, and a new charcoal grey barrel cover, whose contrast with the white enamel and rose-gilt gear train gives each visible component its own visual identity.
The Breguet Tradition Seconde Rétrograde 7038, at 37 mm in rhodium-plated white gold, is the jewelry piece of the group—a diamond-set bezel enclosing 58 brilliant-cut stones, a black aventurine glass dial with silver-toned powdered transfers, and sunburst guilloché finishing both the barrel cover and the half-crown oscillating weight.
The Movement
The 7037, 7038, and 7097 share calibre 505 SR—the 7097 runs the updated 505 SR1—an automatic movement beating at 3 Hz with a 50-hour power reserve and a silicon Breguet balance-spring. The platinum oscillating weight traces directly to Abraham-Louis Breguet's perpétuelle work before 1780. The Tradition GMT 7067 runs the manually wound calibre 507DRF, 274 components, also at 3 Hz with a 50-hour reserve.
Summary & Price
What Breguet has accomplished here is a refresh that earns the word. Each reference in this 2026 Tradition update arrives with a specific point of view—whether that's the monochromatic discipline of the all-blue 7037, the enameling tour de force of the GMT’s green gradient, the composed elegance of the 7097, or the jewelry ambition of the 7038.
All four references demonstrate something the Tradition collection has always understood: that the most compelling place to look at a movement is from the front. Collectively, they make the case that a collection founded on the logic of Abraham-Louis Breguet still has room to surprise.
