Alfihar and myself took an appointment with Mr Emmanuel Breguet himself in the last days of January at the Paris Boutique, and more specifically at the Museum, to try to gather some information / confirmations on the vintage Type 20 " Aeronautique Navale
Mr Emmanuel Breguet kindly allowed us to handle some watches from the 250th anniversary collection, and among them, the new Type 20 in gold, with a black and a silver dial. I will kill any suspense right now, the new Type 20 is much more my taste than tho
Super pure dial, great condition, sublime patina. Credit: I forgot, but I will happily credit on request. I will refrain from posting these vintage Type 20 for a while, promised. )) Best, Nicolas
The CEV number has been erased, but it was officially confirmed by Breguet. Which is interesting is that it is one of the few CEV with 2 counters. Credit photos: Menta and Christies ( if my memory serves me well ). Same watch, but different bezel: And now
Confirmed by Breguet. Hyper rare configuration. This is the first time I see it. I start to realize that these vintage Breguet Type 20 are a kind of Pandora box, with a strong diversity of versions... A bit like these good old vintage Blancpain Fifty Fath
For the French Air Force. From 1954. Here are some I found on the net. A clean sterile dial, quite strong looking. Now I have to figure out which are the correct hands.... Best, Nicolas
