BREGUET TYPE XX N. 39108 ETANCHE WATCH REF. 3820
Lot 450The Breguet Type XX is a luxurious automatic sports chronograph, named after and inspired by the design of the original post-World War ii “Type 20” French military wristwatches. It was introduced in 1994. Most Type 20 watches share a lot of obvious similarities. They are black dialed chronographs, with luminous hands (most were using radioactive radium) and Arabic numbers. They house manual wind flyback movements, their diameter is in the 37 to 39 mm range, and they are equipped with a bi-directional rotating bezel. There were also other types specified by the French Air Force, in terms of timekeeping equipment: for instance, the Type 11 (mono-pusher, non flyback) and Type 12 (flyback) were both aircraft dashboard chronographs. Only the official Type 20 and Type 21 refer to military wristwatches. Requirements for a “Type 20” chronograph include: a black dial, with two registers at 3 and 9 o'clock able to count up to 30 minutes; a diameter of approximately 38 mm; the flyback function; a watch accurate to at least 8 seconds per day; a power reserve of at least 35 hours; the ability to operate satisfactorily at least 300 times. METAL: Stainless steel. Band will fit up to 7" wrist. MOVEMENT: automatic - working order. Gemstones have not been graded for color and clarity ,and tested for clarity and color enhancement, unless stated otherwise. Watches are guaranteed to be in running order, if described as such, at the time of listing only. Watches have not been tested for features functionality, unless otherwise stated in description.
