Breguet Type XX Alarm
Hi, I just bought a Breguet Type XX alarm Transatlantique Ref 3860, it looks like a pilot watch but with alarm function. Can anybody give some info on the watch. I could not find much info anywhere. The salesman told me it is a limited edition sold only in the Japanese market. is this true ?.
Thanks in advance

1350 if I'm not mistaken. I thought it was a pretty goodlooking watch and do not know why Breguet stopped production. However I believe it was part of their regular production (unless yours has a special dial or feature specially designed for the Japanese...
Was it...
...an A. Schild movement for the Type XX alarm and a Lemania for the Classique alarm, or Lemania for both? It seemed that the Classique could set both hour and minute.
from the info I got from Breguet the Type XX has a...

Alex, I believe a little fact checking is in order...
Hi, alex, Dennis. Dennis - is yours automatic or manual? There seems to be quite a bit of confusion regarding the movement in the Type XX version of the Breguet alarm wristwatch. For sure, Breguet has released at least two models of an alarm wristwatch, o...
Okay, here's the story (some of the confusion clarified...)
Yes, the XX model, ref. 3860, with SINGLE alarm indication is based on the AS 5008 (as confirmed by Breguet USA to Andy Thurman back in Sept 27, 2002.) I believe I have seen a XX cased DUAL ALARM indication, which means that it had the Lemania SL 980, whi...
a final answer..hopefully :-)
after speaking with a person in the Breguet ateliers here's the answer I got regarding the movement in the Type XX R?veil: Breguet Cal 579 based on Lemania 2980
Well, I'll add to the confusion, and give my opinion...
I have since traded my alarm- a really nice watch, btw. But Bruget definitely told me it was an A. Schild. HOWEVER, having owned several Omega Memomatics, I believe them to be the same movement because they look and set the same way, which would make it t...
Wouldn't it be crazy if the two most apparently unlikely possibilities turned out to be
correct? 1) That both used the Lemania Memomatic movement (or variant) and Breguet/Lemania simply changed the configuration (alarm indication/some internal gearing and lever/springs) 2) They both used different Lemania alarm movements, but used the same B...
Link to other info
Found a link to a Japanese web site selling the watch. My is the second one in the list of picture. Anyone care to explain what the caption is saying ?. BTW the watch is an automatic winding for both the watch and the alarm function. http://dec.sakura.ne....
