Breguet

I used the Breguet website to contact the manufacturer with a serial number and received an answer within 48 hours what year the piece was manufactured and to which AD it was sold.

Pleased to discover (belatedly) today that my 3800 Type XX 'T Swiss T' was produced for only 1 year: 1994, apparently.

a VERY NICE looking watch. Treasure that one my friend.

I love these " early " modern Type XX with their warm tritium dial. Superb photo, too. Is this a Minerva tool on the background?

I'm sorry, I don't know. I took the photo from a 'For Sale' (now 'Sold') post. However, the serial number of this watch is 11 from mine (and I'm not such a good photographer).

Actually, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, this specimen is clearly not from 1994...

... the 1994 Type XX Aeronavale had numerals in the chrono minute counter, a Breguet signature with a non-crossed „t“, slimmer lugs, a different angle of the rehaut, slimmer bezel and slimmer engravings, a non-tapering chrono seconds hand, numerals with s... 

Thank you, Henrik. What's your source of information, please?

I have spent quite some time and effort to research the early modern Type XX

I believe Henrik is THE source of Breguet information :-)

Correct! And another very visual difference - the gold caped crown...

google „Breguet type xx 1994“ and you’ll find some specimen with the mentioned differences - you‘ll see what we mean...

Thank you! I'll do this.

The 3800 is no longer on Breguet's website so perhaps a re-edition is coming in 2021?

 
 By: Uncle Chico : December 15th, 2020-04:01

Still a beauty, even if from a different year.
