Breguet Type XX Aeronavale Chronograph 3800 - Black Dial - Full Set
The Breguet Type XX occupies a prominent place in the history of professional aviation watches. Its origins date back to the early 1950s, when the French armed forces required highly reliable chronographs capable of supporting pilots during demanding flight operations. Breguet was among the manufacturers selected to produce watches according to these specifications, establishing a connection between the Maison and military aviation that would become an essential part of its identity.
Conceived as precision instruments, the Type XX chronographs were developed around the principles of exceptional legibility, robust construction and operational efficiency required by professional pilots. Their distinctive layout, characterised by balanced counters, luminous indications and a rotating bezel, reflects the practical approach that has defined the collection since its origins in aviation.
Introduced as a modern interpretation of Breguet’s historic pilot’s chronographs, reference 3800 preserves this functional heritage while presenting it through a more contemporary design. Its stainless-steel case, balanced proportions and intuitive chronograph configuration create a versatile timepiece that combines the character of a professional instrument with the refinement and wearability expected from a modern wristwatch.
This Breguet Type XX Aeronavale reference 3800 therefore represents a particularly successful meeting point between aviation heritage, mechanical functionality and understated sporting elegance. Faithful to the original spirit of the collection, it remains one of the most recognisable and appreciated modern interpretations of the classic pilot’s chronograph. Well preserved and accompanied by its full set including Box, Outer Box, Warranty and booklet (including the original Breguet deployant clasp), this example now awaits its next caretaker, who will have the opportunity to appreciate and cherish its remarkable heritage for years to come.
