Breguet · Tradition Seconde Rétrograde 7097

Strengths

A compelling option for visible-mechanics enthusiasts: balance and wheels shape the composition, while retrograde seconds animate it.

Things to consider

Check the small time dial for legibility during a fitting. A 3-bar rating and leather strap require care around water.

Bianchet · Tonneau UltraFino Black Ceramic

Strengths

The successful detail is the scale of the gold accent: one fine line ties the composition together.

Things to consider

Ceramic needs protection from sharp impacts; a movement’s quoted shock resistance does not make the case invulnerable.
