The first 7027 Tradition model from Breguet was launched back in 2005, first watch signed Breguet which displays the mechanisms of the movement on the dial side. The collection has since then become one of the most sought after series ever conceived and manufactured by Breguet. This year they’ve added a second timezone complication – the Breguet Tradition 7067.
The rare and exquisite timepiece is available in a 40 mm white or rose gold case. The button located at the 10 o’clock position on the caseband activates the timezone change of the off-centre dial at 12 o’clock. In addition, a second engine-turned dial, toned in black and silver, at 8 o’clock, displays the reference time. Above the aforementioned dial, we can obviously admire a day/night display.
Two interesting features are the silicone-garnished Breguet spring with its raised terminal curve and the inverted inline lever escapement. Furthermore, the prominence of the balance wheel at 4 o’clock is truly staggering. And, continuing the Tradition series, the 50-hour power reserve indicator is located at the back of the watch and can be viewed through the sapphire-crystal caseback, via a clever differential system, along with a part of the hand-wound movement.
What seems to be the weirdest fact, if you ask us, is the price – the Breguet 7067 Tradition GMT costs a stunning $39,000, much lower than we thought it would.
