New Arrival Breguet Type XX

I spent some time before deciding on the Type XX. More than any other factor, my choice of wardrobe based on the event determines what watch I wear. I was looking for something casual elegant that I could wear with most color combinations and felt a watch on a brown strap with a black dial would get the most wrist time. I already own a vintage diver so I thought a pilot watch would be a nice addition. I looked at IWC and Breitling before settling on the Breguet Type XX. I love the relative simplicity and lack of date window. These are the first photos after unboxing so the quality is not the best.





In such a hurry, there was no time to set the time.

I am fond of the Breguet Type XX Aeronavale. I think it is a bargain in the chronograph space. And I love the Breguet curly-cue logo and curved hands on a "tool" watch. Fantastic Choice!

Congratulations! You will love it.

that finds a Breguet XX much more interesting than a Speedmaster with its 500 different versions. Congrats with your XX, stunning chrono and I love that dial and slightly curved crystal. GEO

Interesting about the curved crystal

Depending on the angle one views the dial, the flyback second hand can appear to be off center. At first I thought it was not lining up directly over the 12 marker until I realized it was the curvature that was responsible for the perceived position. Now ...
