Breguet Type XX 3820BA/N2/9W6

Breguet Type XX Transatlantique

The Breguet Type XX Transatlantique is a modern interpretation of Breguet’s iconic aviation chronograph, originally developed in the mid-1950s for French military pilots under the Type 20 specification. This model features a 39.5 mm yellow gold case with a thickness of 14.4 mm and a lug-to-lug measurement of 45.4 mm, paired with a 21 mm strap width. The watch is equipped with a screw-down crown, vintage-inspired pump pushers, and a bi-directional aviator bezel designed for precise timing. The dial is a glossy black with fully luminescent Arabic numerals, syringe-style hour and minute hands, a counterweighted lancet seconds hand, and subdials in a “big-eye” layout for enhanced readability of chronograph minutes. Powering the watch is the Breguet caliber 582Q, an automatic movement based on the Lemania 1350, featuring flyback functionality, a 48-hour power reserve, and a lateral clutch chronograph mechanism tuned to perform with precision comparable to column-wheel systems. The caseback is solid and screw-down, and the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, reflecting its blend of aviation heritage and contemporary finishing.
