Correction: The 507 movement is a manual-wind caliber and not Automatic as I mistakenly mentioned. Thanks Marcus for the correction! Dont know I missed that! 🤪
I’m really pleased Breguet isn’t as popular as VC, PP etc as people like us can get hold of them to enjoy (and for 50% off the retail price, if purchasing second hand!). That said, I can’t see that lasting forever - the quality of the watches they make is truly exceptional and there are too many watch connoisseurs in the world for the brand to be ignored in the coming years.
Deeply respect Breguet. The brand, the history and the achievements. Phenomenal! I own a Breguet Marine which is one of my favorite watches. Next will be the Tradition.
The Breguet 7097 is gonna be my first high end watch. I was thinking to buy one day a Rolex, but since I started to look into Breguet's history, I am certain that this brand is gonna be my first choice! 😍
Nice review, I've got the 7597 and absolutely love it. Nothing out there touches it for the price in terms of finishing and the unique aesthetic. Would love to see more watches like this on your channel!
I love Breguet watches. They have unique design and excellent craftsmanship and reliability. They represent great value for money. For me, I would not hesitate to invest in one any time.
I think Breguet is overlooked because at their price bracket, value retention is an important consideration. Of course there are some who will proudly proclaim that value retention is not a concern, which is a flex in itself, and not something everyone can do. Also, they lost some cachet when they were acquired by the Swatch Group. If they were an independent, producing small numbers, it might address the first point above, and they would probably gather more interest. A shame, because they are a stellar brand who invented everything you mentioned, as well as the ubiquitous and very fundamental Breguet overcoil in modern watchmaking.
True! You just don't hear about Breguet anywhere! Even on bigger channels, their videos just don't get views. And the brand themselves is relatively dormant in terms of its marketing.
Have three Breguet ….. a pocket watch , a simple Breguet and the Tourbillon first production …. All beautiful oooh I forgot the Breguet pilot watxch as a sports watch.
I’ve watched this video so many times, hands down the best footage of this fabulous watch on TH-cam! P.S. do you happen to know what strap this is? It complements this watch beautifully - i’d love to get one for my GO PanomaticLunar.
Hi Abdullah, Thanks for another great video. The content is awesome, and the best part of all is that there’s no obnoxious music in the background. 😂. The Nautilus is a hideous watch as far as I’m concerned. The Royal Oak is OK. I’m not a fan of such bracelets at all. I would take Breguet all day long for its contributions to Haute Horlogerie, its look world-class artisanal fit finish, and its heritage. In spite of all that, and since you mentioned VC, at this price level, I would go with VC if it’s my first watch of that caliber. But I’m very biased to VC and JLC. Especially VC. Cheers, Omar
Thanks a lot Omar! I'm a huge fan of JLC (Reverso & Master Control) and VC's 1921! Breguet''s heritage will always be unmatched. Unfortunately, they're behind on brand marketing.
@@watcheswithabdullah My pleasure Abdullah. I agree. The power or marketing and branding is so understated and underestimated, especially by some Swiss and Germans companies who believe that a good product will sell itself. This may have been true many decades ago. Not anymore.
I don't blame them. Those videos get the most views! But I do believe its much more enjoyable to mix and match with indie brands, cause that's where all the crazy stuff happens!
I am thinking about buying a watch from the tradition line for a couple of years now but it doesn't suit my lifestyle. I don't wear anything with a collar, not even a polo shirt, I dress very casual so there is no real occasion where I could wear that particular watch so I keep focusing on more sporty watches when it is time to get something new. I kind of hope there will be a cross over with the marine line in the future even though that is highly unlikely.
I will slightly disagree . Patek is not known for nautilus . Nautilus is popular because patek makes it . Patek has so many gems perpetual calendars , perpetual calendar chronographs , perpetual calendar retrrapante , world timers , grand complications etc etc . These are all lusted after models and highly regarded . The nautilus hype is only for instagram flexers but that’s not patek’s identity .
Using a silicone balance spring and escapement should almost be considered as a crime on a Breguet showpiece like this. It undermines master watchmaker skills
Hi ! I have this exact 7057 and i thought the dial was sandblasted for the longest time 😂 where did you find the information of it being hammered and what is the process called ? Think i heard "spinning"
Basically it's one of those things where you buy it for you and not for others. But ofc, for that price... it would be nice for it to be able to get some respect at watch meet ups too 😆
I just bought one it's amazing I paid a rolex submariner money for it it's laughable that's it's same price as the submariner in the market and you get that watch its an Art
Sadly people are interested in Rolex watches they can flex and flip. People are true watch enthusiasts know how special Breguet watches are. BY the way it's highly debated that he invented all those things first. What is beyond doubt is that he came up with the absolute best versions of each. His 'resonance' watch with the two balance wheels is the one id like to have above all.
Wsalam mate! I would advice to save up and get a Casio or a basic G-Shock, as they will last you much longer than those that you mentioned. You could also look into Timex or older generation Seiko 5 if you want to get into mechanical movements. Bit pricier than SKMEI, but will definitely last you decades (with proper care and servicing). Thanks for your comment!
If I had the money and didn't care about spending that sort of money on a damn watch, I'd buy a breguet tradition over any other watch. It will never happen...
It's not saying much that a watch is better than a Rolex. A Rolex is a solid quality tool watch. Nothing more. There are thousands of watches with more complications, better quality, better accuracy, better finishes, etc. What Rolex has going for it is better resale value, which no Breguet has.
Yes, that depreciation shouldn't just be an emotional signal, it should serve as a red flag. The market generally doesn't tell lies, so this devaluing says that this watch is overvalued (like its head is in the clouds) and if you can't afford it at retail you probably can't afford it at discount. The overvaluation says that there is a disconnect between the brand's own self-worth and their real worth from outsiders. I love the idea of exposing the watch works like this, and MB&F does similar things. And yet, I expect that the physics makes this a fragile watch.

Can you give a link where the strap can be purchased?
@@RahilVirani-k2u I'm not too sure because I borrowed the watch from a friend long time ago. But I believe it's be MSBespoke msbespokestraps.com/

I could not care less about residual values - if I had a Breguet I would cherish it for the rest of my life. I would not dream of selling it.

Breguet is my favorite watch company. Their artwork is amazing.
I love Breguet watches. They have unique design and excellent craftsmanship and reliability. They represent great value for money. For me, I would not hesitate to invest in one any time.
Thanks for the video, I am going to get a Breguet to wear (a Classique) to be able to carry something of the heritage of an icon of watchmaking.
One of my grail pieces is a Breguet. There's a few glashutte original pieces i love too

They need to join the Richmond group
That's why I love buying them used, best value.
Excellent video... Can you give me some reference of the strap... It is beautiful and I would like to buy it..
Another amazing review, Abdullah!
Have three Breguet ….. a pocket watch , a simple Breguet and the Tourbillon first production …. All beautiful oooh I forgot the Breguet pilot watxch as a sports watch.
One of my grails ❤ keep up the great work brother!
I have a 7097 and looking to get a 5157. Amazing watches.
What kind of strap is that on the 7057 in the video?
Absolutely agree. That is why talked about whether the Breguet 7057 is a Patek killer in my last video. ...Is it? 😂
I’ve watched this video so many times, hands down the best footage of this fabulous watch on TH-cam!
P.S. do you happen to know what strap this is? It complements this watch beautifully - i’d love to get one for my GO PanomaticLunar.

Great, video. Best one I've found so far on the Breguet Tradition.
Quick question, is the main plate/chassis of the movement steel? or gold?
Thanks for your review. Most people are talking Rolex, AP, etc.
I don't blame them. Those videos get the most views! But I do believe its much more enjoyable to mix and match with indie brands, cause that's where all the crazy stuff happens!

I dream of owning a 7097 or a 7597 someday…. I would totally buy a Breguet if I hade the means!
..... at 5:30 you say it is self - winding ? ............ looks more like the hand wound version to me ........
Crap... thanks for pointing that out!

I'm sure if I had the money I would purchase one of these if only for the historical value.

I just bought a pre-owned Breguet Type XXI 3810ST. I am having it serviced by Swatch Group. I hope I won’t be sorry.
Good luck, sir! And congrats on the watch! It's an absolute beast, but with unmatched grace! 🙌
@@watcheswithabdullah Thank you and good luck to you and your channel, I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
Hi ! I have this exact 7057 and i thought the dial was sandblasted for the longest time 😂 where did you find the information of it being hammered and what is the process called ? Think i heard "spinning"
Hours of watching videos on Breguet, interviews and research from their website. This TH-cam game is like having a full-time job! 😂
Unfortunately we are becoming more and more hype victims when exclusivity was the call for luxury.
Yeah it’s sad that a watch with this heritage is not independent but they are truly amazing. I don’t know if I’d buy one given the price tag anyway.
Basically it's one of those things where you buy it for you and not for others. But ofc, for that price... it would be nice for it to be able to get some respect at watch meet ups too 😆
I just bought one it's amazing I paid a rolex submariner money for it it's laughable that's it's same price as the submariner in the market and you get that watch its an Art
Is breguet tradition better or rolex submariner ?
Rolex is junk, buy a Breguet instead.
Sadly people are interested in Rolex watches they can flex and flip. People are true watch enthusiasts know how special Breguet watches are.
BY the way it's highly debated that he invented all those things first. What is beyond doubt is that he came up with the absolute best versions of each. His 'resonance' watch with the two balance wheels is the one id like to have above all.
Has nothing to do for being underrated. Marketing. Nothing more, nothing less.

@@watcheswithabdullah which Casio watch would you recommend under 50
Breguet From the shop I do not recommend it used and from the market the best watch to buy is undisputed
Ir money is not an isquémica….Of course I will buy one
If I had the money and didn't care about spending that sort of money on a damn watch, I'd buy a breguet tradition over any other watch. It will never happen...
You and me both, mate! Hell of a watch!
Buy it for 30k, but be prepared to take a substantial hit on its true asset valuation. Or just buy pre-owned 😉
Some ADs do give discount from what I've heard. But buying pre-owned would make sense for a lot of collectors!
@@watcheswithabdullah for sure! At the end of the day, it is still far safer to venture the AD route if the purchase price/discount is right 👍
Unless some Hollywood stars or singers or producers influencers wear that watch , no one will care about it , this is what it is
It's not saying much that a watch is better than a Rolex. A Rolex is a solid quality tool watch. Nothing more. There are thousands of watches with more complications, better quality, better accuracy, better finishes, etc. What Rolex has going for it is better resale value, which no Breguet has.
"I know, let's cover the dial with a power reserve." How to ruin a watch
They are much cheaper pre-owned. They depreciate a lot.
Yep. Incredible value when looking into pre-owned. But because of high depreciation, many collectors see it as a risky buy.
Yes, that depreciation shouldn't just be an emotional signal, it should serve as a red flag.

I love the idea of exposing the watch works like this, and MB&F does similar things. And yet, I expect that the physics makes this a fragile watch.
The only “affordable” Breguet you can get is a XX Chronograph. This particular model you can’t get for less than $20K. How is it “underrated”?
Breguet brand is no longer what it. Quality is poor and service awful. Stay away from Breguet watches!
Great video apu
Veri. 💋 watch EXCELLENT
