I like the green version better than the orange…
… and I am not arguing the size of movement/case and the date. I however think that the numerals are slightly too big with the latest Type XXI versions, with these two the signature should have been split up with Breguet being in the top half and Retour en vol in the lower half of the dial, just like ifraher already suggested in the other thread.
The bezel is perfect for this watch, as is the strap, again particularly on the green version, which I would like to see in the metal to get a better idea of the overall aesthetics and character.
And yes, a sub 40mm Type XX without Date as a successor to the Aeronavale and the Only Watch piece unique would be terrific!

A quick view on the new Breguet Type XXI Flyback Chronograph 3815 Ti.
Here is the new Type XXI from Breguet, in titanium, with two different dials, each of them limited to 250 pieces. The Green: The Orange: Here, you have a 42 mm case, in titanium, which is 42 mm big, and 15, 2 mm high. While I love the choice of titanium f...

I agree that it is too big and thick. Can't wait for the smaller XX with 38-39 mm
Manual winding or auto no problem for me. And if possible the water resistant can achieve 100 mtr.
Definitely not for me.
I also do see the small movement/large case issue in the placement of the sub-dials. I am still waiting for a regular version close to the 2019 Only Watch Type XX.
They must have got the memo late
It's the dials that are supposed to be green A big miss in my view but hopefully they will rectify in due course. Makes me even happier I went for the airain reissue.
I was hoping for a reissue of the Type XX.
I'm less of a fan of the Type XXI primarily because I like the look of the polished bezel on the Type XX and the omission of the date. For some reason the numeral colors seem too un-Breguet for me.
I like the Ref. 3817 more.
I’d like to see the 3817 in titanium. The lack of hour totalizer makes the new models less attractive. I’m ok with both bezel designs.
Very unimpressive how Breguet doesn’t live up to its own standards…
A cam-operated and largely machine finished chronograph movement in a very thick (15.2 mm) case is a bit disappointing from a brand like Breguet. They should learn from their Swatch Group sister brand Blancpain. If Breguet goes back to the drawing board a...
Agree at every point
Your vintage is more perfect. You add ton of patina and charm they become magnetically awesome
Not bad. For me to jump though
I would have preferred smaller numerals and the subdials to have equal diameter (so no cut off numerals), and yes no date, a slimmer case and a manual wind would be perfect. Still a handsome watch as is.
My thoughts......
I agree with the movement to case ratio, this movement should be in a 40mm watch, and nothing larger. The biggest issue I have is based on experience. I had the previous Type XXI in titanium, with the really cool applied steel or Ti numerals. I got rid of...
Not a fan
Numerals look cheap as does the whole dial imho. Would much rather see homage versions similar to the originals. Breguet should check out some Longines (Military 6b/159) and IWC (mark XII) homage pieces.
