Breguet Type XX Only Watch 2021.
We discussed the Type XX Only Watch 2019 several times, much more rarely the Only Watch 2021.
On the left, the 2019, and on the right, the 2021:
The 2021 alone:
On the 2021, I prefer -the bigger minute chrono counter, typical from the Type 20. But I prefer the crown on the 2019.
Two highly desirable watches which I'd love to see in a more generous production. 500 pieces, as a hint of the number of Aeronautique Navale produced and sold in 1960?
Best,
Nicolas

Both are absolute beauties.
Great comparison, my friend. I share your view that the 2021’s larger minute counter is very faithful to the true Type 20 DNA — it just feels “right” at a glance. That said, the 2019 crown gives it a bit more character and charm.
I like the coin bezel and crown more on the 2019,
but hands and subdials more on the 2021 🧐....
Both are indeed stunning Breguet's.
But if I was fortunate enough to have a choice between the two it would be the 2019 as besides the nicer IMO crown I also prefer the bezel and the what to me looks like a better balanced dial. Marc
seriously what is Breguet waiting for this reedition?
I think they might need your advice Nico...
That would certainly be a good thing 👍
But I fear that, at least for me, they are somewhat late. Tired of waiting, I have already made my choice. 😬
Both beautiful.
The 21 is a bit sportier maybe? Chunkier looking with a gmt bezel. I honestly don’t know which one I would choose, both have a place in a collection for me.
I like the balance of equal sized subdials myself. Oh, and the crown, too, makes 2019 mine.
At least no date on either!
This is super frustrating.
They are showing us that they actually can make a modern rendition of the Mark XX that we’d all line up to buy. But instead, they decide to produce a 42mm version with a garish lume color and a silly date window. It’s like an act of deliberate self sabota...
