Breguet Type XX Chronographe 2057

This timepiece is inspired by the 1100 delivered to the French Air Force between 1955 and 1959, whose name appeared as Type 20 in Arabic numerals, unlike all the others, including those of the Aéronautique Navale, whose name was written Type XX in Roman numerals. Its black galvanic-treated dial has been modernised while remaining faithful to the Type 20 identity. The Arabic numerals and the triangle on the bezel are luminescent and feature a mint green shade, as do all the hands. The 30-minute totaliser located at 3 o'clock is now larger than the 60-second totaliser displayed at 9 o'clock, and a date window has been added between 4 and 5 o’clock. The 42 mm steel case is fitted with a non-engraved fluted bidirectional bezel, as was that of the models delivered to military air forces in the past. The crown reflecting the original pear shape is adjustable in three positions: 1 neutral, 2 date correction, 3 time setting. The 2 o’clock pusher serves to activate the chronograph, the one at 4 o'clock for the flyback function. The former is used to start and stop the watch, while the latter serves to reset the chronograph and the minute totaliser.
