The Heritage

The Breguet Tradition 7597BR/G1/9WU is a 40mm rose gold case watch powered by the Breguet caliber 505Q manual movement. It features an off-center dial displaying hours, minutes, and small seconds at 7 o'clock, interpreting 18th-century subscription watch principles. The 20mm lug width accommodates standard springbar attachment and is proportioned to balance the case diameter with the strap transition.

FAQ

What is the lug width of the Breguet Tradition 7597BR/G1/9WU?

The Breguet Tradition 7597BR/G1/9WU is fitted with a 20mm lug width. This measurement is taken with a caliper positioned in the attachment channel between the two metal lugs, not on the outer edge of the case.

What is the best strap for the Breguet Tradition 7597BR/G1/9WU?

For the rose gold case of the 7597BR/G1/9WU, tobacco brown or burgundy belly alligator is the most aesthetically coherent choice. Matte smooth calf is the ideal everyday alternative. Both options are available bespoke from Casati Milano or in the online selection at milanostraps.it.

How do you change the strap on the Breguet Tradition 7597BR/G1/9WU?

The strap is removed using a springbar tool fork, inserted into the lug channel to compress the spring bars. The operation takes less than a minute and does not require technical assistance. It is recommended to work on a soft surface to avoid scratches to the rose gold case.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breguet Tradition 7597BR/G1/9WU?

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm attachment is compatible with the Breguet Tradition 7597BR/G1/9WU. On milanostraps.it you will find a curated selection of artisanal leather, alligator and NATO straps specifically chosen for this lug width.

How long does a leather strap last on a Breguet Tradition 7597BR/G1/9WU?

Durability depends on the material, frequency of use, and exposure to perspiration and weather conditions. A quality alligator strap, used with care and rotated regularly, lasts on average 2 to 4 years. Casati Milano straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
