Hello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. When it comes to Breguet’s Tradition series watches, the eccentric small dials often come to mind, which are gentlemanly, elegant, and offer clear time reading. Inspired by Mr. Louis Breguet’s Subscription watches, they are highly suitable for refined men to wear with formal attire. Today, Bokey brings you ZF Factory’s super masterpiece from the Breguet Tradition series! A fully automatic retrograde seconds wristwatch! This is also a recently popular new model – the Breguet Tradition 7097. Previously, WF Factory had been producing this watch in the replica market, but its version was unsatisfactory. This time, ZF Factory has redeveloped it, claiming to have spent four years researching the movement before launching this 7097. At first glance, Bokey thought ZF Factory was exaggerating, but after seeing the physical product, there was a pleasant surprise – ZF Factory has indeed developed it with great care. Below, we will discuss how ZF Factory’s Breguet Tradition 7097 performs through real-shot details.

ZF Factory’s Breguet Tradition series launches three color schemes for selection, including rose gold, blue, and gray. Relatively speaking, the gray model is a more stable replica watch, while the rose gold and blue models are more vibrant. Bokey believes their suitable occasions should differ—for example, the gray model is more suitable for work, exuding solemnity; the blue model is livelier for sports and fitness; and the rose gold model is apt for gatherings, showing more warmth. Do you agree with this perspective?
The ZF Breguet Tradition retrograde seconds replica watch has a 40mm case diameter, a size easily manageable for many watch enthusiasts. ZF Factory achieves a perfect fit with the authentic model. With rich replica experience, the case is finely polished, sleek, and elegant, with a slim profile enhancing its grace. ZF spent nearly four years meticulously developing the movement, investing heavily to create a sincere masterpiece that fully replicates all original functions. The case shape also reproduces Breguet’s iconic coin-edge design—subtle triangular knurling showcases delicate finishing, embodying Breguet’s understated style in detail refinement. The lugs feature Breguet’s classic welded rounded straight lugs with a gentle backward tilt, ensuring a comfortable fit on the wrist.
The watch uses a classic domed sapphire crystal, durable, transparent, and fully displaying Breguet’s iconic design. The mysteries of its fine mechanical operation are fully revealed before your eyes. The retrograde seconds hand at 10 o’clock displays seconds, driven by a fully automatic movement that completely realizes all functions of the original authentic model.
The overall watch adopts a skeletonized design in structure: the 12 o’clock position is the time dial, while gears at 3 to 8 o’clock operate normally. The gear at 8 o’clock moves slowly and is hard to notice. If you want to verify whether these are real moving gears, you can contact Bokey for time-lapse photography videos to check.
The side features Breguet-style coin-edge patterns with clear texture. The right side has a straight-pull crown engraved with a relief of the Breguet logo, sharp and problem-free. Functionally, twisting upward winds the watch, and pulling out adjusts the time—simple to operate.
ZF Factory’s Breguet 7097 uses a transparent case back with a sapphire crystal in the center, housing a self-produced 505 SR1 integrated movement that structurally replicates the authentic model by about 95%. The component controlling the retrograde seconds hand, like the original, uses a rack, lever, and snail-shaped cam. When the movement runs, the snail-shaped cam on the back can be seen rotating with time. The retrograde principle of the seconds hand uses a rack and lever, where the hand drops instantaneously to reset after reaching 60 seconds. In summary, ZF’s self-produced 505 movement is entirely designed according to the original structure, highly playable and ornamental.
The strap is black hand-stitched Italian cowhide embossed with alligator patterns, paired with a classic Breguet screw-fixed buckle. Watch enthusiasts pursuing perfection can contact Bokey to customize an American alligator leather strap for a texture closer to the original. The precious metal mark on the back of the buckle is slightly larger than the authentic model but has good depth, avoiding cheap laser engraving.
Is the ZF Factory Breguet Tradition Series 7097BB gray dial retrograde wristwatch worth starting?
In summary, the ZF Factory’s Breguet Tradition Series 7097 retrograde replica watch achieves approximately 95% overall restoration and realizes the same retrograde structure as the original in terms of functionality. If you are a watch enthusiast who appreciates mechanical aesthetics, this ZF Factory Tradition 7097 is definitely a good choice, and it can also be worn as a business watch with a unique style. Regarding color schemes, Bokey personally recommends the gray and blue dials with steel cases. For more details, please follow Bokey’s WeChat: 23489689.
