This elegant and technical Tradition watch offers an ultra-modern, graphic structure exhibiting almost all the movement components on either side of the mainplate. It features a central barrel, a subdial at 12 o’clock bearing Breguet open-tipped hands, directly driven by the barrel, as well as a balance-wheel and intermediate wheels forming an arc stretching from 4 to 8 o’clock. The bridge bearing the escapement is reinforced by a hand-chamfered pare-chute – a Breguet invention that serves to protect the balance-staff from shocks.
The Tradition Dame 7038 shows the hours and minutes on an engine-turned Tahitian mother-of-pearl dial. These indications are discreetly complemented by the retrograde seconds engraved on the movement face at 10 o’clock.
The decoration of the movement has been specifically designed with women in mind. The NAC treatment typical of the Tradition collection and hitherto appearing in grey, anthracite or golden rose tones, is replaced here by a frosted white movement complemented by an 18-carat white gold case. The bezel is set with brilliant-cut diamonds and a watch movement jewel is unusually placed on the crown.
