Introduction to the Breguet Tradition 7057 Replica Watch

Breguet debuted its updated‑model 7057 wristwatch at Baselworld. Two other iterations of the 7057 are also available, coming with 18‑karat white‑gold and 18‑karat rose‑gold cases matched to smoky‑grey NAC‑finished movements. The smoky‑grey NAC surface treatment is accomplished by electroplating, which deposits a smoky‑hued platinum‑group metal‑alloy layer.

Its solid sapphire‑crystal case‑back lays the intricate movement completely visible.

This watch is powered by the hand‑wound Breguet Cal.507DR1 mechanical movement. Sized at 14½ lignes, it features 34 jewel bearings, adjustable regulator screws and a Breguet overcoil hairspring. The movement oscillates at 21600 vibrations per hour and yields a 50‑hour power reserve upon being fully wound.

The above‑mentioned details are taken from the official genuine‑watch specifications. I once held the opinion that replica watches were incapable of reproducing an open‑worked timepiece with functioning rotating gears. Now, Popular Watch presents the high‑fidelity replica of the Breguet Tradition. The following photos feature the gold‑toned variant.

The signature design of the Tradition collection lays bare on the front‑facing dial components normally concealed beneath movement bridges, including bridges, mainspring barrels, transmission gears, the escapement and other mechanical parts. It lays the mesmerising workings of precision machinery fully on display.
The mainspring barrel sits prominently at the watch’s centre. The balance wheel at the 4‑o’clock position spins swiftly, supported by symmetrically‑arranged bridges. The primary gear‑train is completely exposed between the 6‑o’clock and 9‑o’clock positions. Anyone fond of skeleton‑style timepieces will undoubtedly be captivated by this model.

An off‑centre black dial sits at the 12‑o’clock position and bears hand‑engraved motifs. It comes with an individual serial number and the Breguet signature. Roman numerals pair with a minute track, together with slender hollowed‑out polished‑steel Breguet‑style hands.

A power‑reserve indicator window at 10 o’clock displays the 50‑hour runtime. It is worth noting that this is a functional genuine power‑reserve readout, with every feature operating exactly the same as on the original watch.

The slim‑profiled case flank is decorated with Breguet’s iconic coin‑edge engraving, which perfectly embodies the brand’s exquisite attention to watch‑making details. Those familiar with Breguet will readily recognise this hallmark side‑case feature.The curved bezel receives high‑gloss polishing and emits the soft, distinctive lustre of rose gold for a noble and elegant impression.

Strap removal begins by unscrewing the side‑mounted screws. Breguet’s classically styled welded rounded lugs are dainty and exquisitely finished. Meticulous polishing brings out the full lustre of the rose‑gold material. The strap is fastened with screw pins and delivers pleasant wearing comfort.

The three following close‑up photos display the gear layout on the case‑back. The component positioning and craftsmanship are executed to an exceptionally high standard, and the reverse side is also covered by a sapphire‑crystal pane.

You will notice the case‑back gears rotate synchronously when you wind the watch manually.

The watch movement adopts matte‑finish NAC treatment. This surface‑finishing technique deposits a charcoal‑hued platinum‑group metal alloy via electroplating, whose colour matches that of the genuine piece and greatly boosts the watch’s visual appeal.

Conclusion: The Breguet Tradition has long‑ranked among the brand’s best‑selling collections, blending signature Breguet styling and innovative watch‑making techniques. Numerous watch enthusiasts have been waiting for a matching replica, and that expectation has finally been fulfilled. Its heritage‑driven classic detailing and front‑facing exposed moving movement captivate plenty of collectors. It feels like wearing a vintage pocket‑watch on your wrist, combining stunning appearance with fascinating mechanical charm.
