TYPE XX ONLY WATCH 2021

Paying tribute to the first generation of the civilian Type XX chronograph introduced during the ’50s and ’60s, Breguet’s faithful re-edition of its renowned pilot’s watch retains the original’s 38.3mm diameter. Its bronze-coloured dial is also a nod to the same colour seen on the dials of the extremely rare pioneering models. This new version is fitted with a screwed steel caseback that provides water resistance to 30m. Its features include a 30-minute totaliser at 3 o’clock, a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, luminescent Arabic numerals as well as luminescent hands, which are colloquially known as “syringes” due to their shape. Powering it is a Valjoux 235 movement, directly derived from the Valjoux 222 used by Breguet during that era.

Estimate: US$38,000-US$54,000
