Hi popspin, I'm also a long time owner and admirer of the XXII aka 3880 Breguet Transatlantique and wonder why there are almost no mentions of this 10 Hz watch here in our forum? I own also a Breguet Marine Chrono and some other brands - all of them are mentioned and pictured far more often, but not the XXII, even it is a high runner from a technical point of view - not only regarding the movement speed. What may be the reason for this? Probably the small production figures, or something different? I changed the strap from steel to rubber and bought the folding clasp as well as the rubber strap from the marine series. The finish of the marine folding clasp is, in my point of view, far more excellent, than the one which came original with the leather strap of the XXII. I posted my experiences here, (years ago) but there was no comment on this. Best bob

it is my understanding that Breguet had some troubles with perfecting the movement. It is really quite impressive s 72vph movement. 1/20th of a second. the closest large scale production watch is the el primero. looks like the original prototype had a 60 ...

Breguet made the change between the time of showing the prototype at Basel and starting production. If you have an iPad, there is a free app in the App Store; search under Breguet. You can download for free the issues of the Breguet magazine "Le Quai de l...

I can see that the XXII doesn't get a lot of love on this site but garners some respect. It certainly has a different look from the classic Breguet but similar to the much loved XX and XXI; after it is a sport watch. I have had mine for more than a year (...
