Breguet - Breguet Type XX - XXI - XXII Flyback Chronograph - Full Set
Breguet is a renowned Swiss luxury watchmaker with a rich history that dates back over two centuries. The brand was founded in 1775 by Abraham-Louis Breguet, a watchmaker of great significance in the horological world.
The Breguet Type XX represents a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic Type 20. Rather than a historical relic from Breguet's past, "Type 20" denotes a set of specifications established by the French Ministry of Defense during the 1950s. The Ministry deemed accurate and durable chronographs indispensable for pilots, serving as tools to measure distance covered or airspeed.
This particular example boasts an absolutely stunning Arabic numeral dial with tritium that has aged to a warm and golden patina.
