A Tribute to Aviation and Human Ingenuity
The Breguet Type XX Chronographe Ref. 2075BH/99/398, with a striking black anodized dial, is a powerful expression of Breguet’s deep connection to both aviation and watchmaking innovation. Rooted in history yet elevated by modern craftsmanship, this chronograph pays homage to pioneers of time and air—Abraham-Louis Breguet, Louis Breguet, and the legendary aviators Dieudonné Costes and Maurice Bellonte, who first flew from Paris to New York in 1930 aboard the Breguet 19TR Super Bidon. The aircraft, marked with bold question marks on its fuselage, symbolizes the spirit of bold inquiry, and this timepiece channels that legacy in every detail.
Case and Dimensions
Crafted from 18K Breguet gold, a proprietary alloy known for its subtle blond hue, the case measures 38.3mm in diameter and 13.2mm in thickness, delivering a balanced wrist presence that fuses elegance with utilitarian strength. The round case structure is historically faithful, while the sapphire caseback reveals the intricate artistry of the movement and commemorative engraving. The non-screwed crown ensures comfort and accessibility, while the 19mm lug width supports a refined yet durable strap fit. With water resistance up to 5 BAR, this timepiece is as resilient as the story it honors.
Dial and Design Details
The black anodized aluminium dial is inspired by the iconic “civil” Type XX introduced by Breguet in 1955, specifically timepiece No. 1780. The dial’s utilitarian styling contrasts with the luxurious finish of its 18K gold syringe-style hands, which feature a vivid green phosphorescence for nighttime readability. Bold Arabic numerals, a 15-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock, and a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock are arranged with perfect symmetry and function. This high-contrast layout delivers exceptional legibility, true to its aviation roots.
Functional Features
This model features a flyback chronograph, allowing the user to reset and restart the chronograph hand with a single press—a crucial function for aviators who must time consecutive events quickly. The placement and proportions of the subdials support instant readability, while the central chronograph seconds hand offers precision control in flight or in daily pursuits.
Protecting the dial is a domed sapphire crystal, treated with anti-reflective coating to minimize glare and maximize visibility in all lighting conditions.
Movement and Complications
Beating inside the Type XX Chronographe Ref. 2075BH/99/398 is the newly developed Calibre 7279, a manual-winding movement created specifically for this reference. Composed of 258 components, this calibre operates at a high frequency of 5 Hz, ensuring superior chronometric accuracy. Measuring 32.2mm wide and 6mm thick, it offers a robust 60-hour power reserve. The movement features a flat silicon balance spring and Breguet balance wheel, combining technical innovation with reliability.
Through the transparent caseback, wearers can admire a hand-engraved depiction of the 1930 transatlantic flight route alongside the Breguet 19 aircraft, a masterstroke in miniature engraving that captures both mechanical mastery and historical storytelling.
Strap and Wearability
Completing the timepiece is a supple calfskin leather strap, paired with an 18K Breguet gold ardillon buckle for secure and refined fastening. The soft texture and structured padding offer both durability and comfort. Designed to harmonize with the warmth of the gold case and the boldness of the black dial, the strap adds an element of vintage aviation charm to the modern wrist.
