A Legacy Reimagined in Silver and Gold
The Breguet Type XX Chronographe Ref. 2075BH/G9/398 is a stunning embodiment of aviation history, horological innovation, and artisanal beauty. This timepiece celebrates the enduring legacy of the Type XX collection, inspired by an emblematic civilian chronograph created in 1955, serial number 1780. With its hand-satinated solid silver dial, it pays tribute to the pioneering spirit of Abraham-Louis Breguet, his descendant Louis Breguet, and the daring duo Dieudonné Costes and Maurice Bellonte, who completed the historic Paris–New York transatlantic flight in 1930 aboard the Breguet 19TR Super Bidon. Their journey, marked by courage and curiosity, lives on through the soul of this refined chronograph.
Case and Dimensions
The case, crafted from exclusive 18K Breguet gold, radiates warmth and subtle sophistication. Measuring 38.3 mm in diameter and 13.2 mm in thickness, the case retains the classic proportions of the Type XX while offering a modern presence on the wrist. The sapphire caseback reveals exquisite hand-engraving that depicts the legendary flight route and the aircraft itself, the Breguet 19, soaring across a frosted map of the Atlantic. A non-screwed crown, 19mm lug width, and 5 BAR water resistance complete the package, ensuring elegance without compromising durability.
Dial and Design Details
The dial of the Breguet Type XX Chronographe Ref. 2075BH/G9/398 is a canvas of subtle brilliance. Crafted from solid silver and finished with a delicate hand-satinated texture, it is protected with a Zapon coating to preserve its fine grain. The surface captures light in motion, resulting in a constantly shifting interplay of reflections. Contrasting beautifully against this muted backdrop are the 18K gold sword-shaped hands, filled with green phosphorescence for low-light visibility. A 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock and a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock provide symmetry and function, grounded in Breguet’s legacy of pilot chronographs.
Functional Features
The watch features a flyback chronograph, a function originally designed for aviators needing to rapidly reset and restart timing sequences. With the push of a button, the chronograph hand instantly returns to zero and resumes timing, a technical achievement that combines precision with practicality. A domed sapphire crystal crowns the dial, enhanced with anti-reflective treatment for clarity in all conditions. This crystal not only protects the dial but also accentuates its silken finish, echoing the high-level finishing throughout the timepiece.
Movement and Complications
At the heart of the Type XX Silver Dial lies the Calibre 7278, a manual-winding chronograph movement composed of 257 components. It delivers a robust 60-hour power reserve and beats at an impressive 5 Hz, ensuring high-frequency accuracy. Measuring 32.2 mm in diameter and 6mm in thickness, the movement integrates modern materials like a flat silicon balance spring and features the distinguished Breguet balance wheel.
Visible through the sapphire caseback is a work of horological art: a hand-engraved scene of the Breguet 19 aircraft in mid-flight, crossing the Atlantic with its path delicately traced across two continents. This engraving anchors the watch in a story of bold human achievement.
Strap and Wearability
The watch is fitted with a supple calfskin leather strap in a neutral, refined shade that enhances the light tone of the dial and the soft glow of Breguet gold. Secured by an 18K Breguet gold ardillon buckle, the strap is shaped for comfort, elegance, and durability. It delivers a versatile, classic appeal, suitable for both casual elegance and formal distinction.
