Discover the Breguet Type XX Flyback Chronograph Ref. 2067RK/Y9/9WU with a blue ceramic bezel, and interchangeable leather and NATO straps.
A Tribute to Mastery
The Breguet Type 20 Chronographe Ref. 2057ST/92/3WU is a captivating tribute to the golden age of aviation and military watchmaking, a contemporary masterpiece that breathes new life into a historic icon. Originally designed in the 1950s for the French Air Force and Navy pilots, the Type 20 was renowned for its rugged reliability and precise chronograph function. In this modern reference, Breguet stays true to its legendary roots while seamlessly incorporating modern materials and engineering excellence, producing a watch that resonates with both vintage charm and modern sophistication.
Case and Dimensions
The watch’s 42mm stainless steel case exudes a robust presence that’s balanced by elegant lines and refined finishing. The alternating brushed and polished surfaces of the case highlight Breguet’s commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, while the gently curved lugs ensure a comfortable fit on the wrist. The robust construction is built to withstand the rigors of flight, yet it remains a stylish companion for any modern-day adventurer. Every angle of this timepiece speaks to its utilitarian heritage and luxurious craftsmanship.
Dial and Design Details
At the heart of this pilot’s instrument is a deep black dial, a classic canvas that pays homage to its aviation origins. Large, luminescent Arabic numerals dominate the dial, ensuring exceptional legibility even in low-light conditions—an essential feature for pilots navigating the skies. The crisp white printing contrasts beautifully with the matte black surface, creating a look that’s as bold as it is timeless. The vintage-inspired syringe-style hands, coated in luminous material, further enhance the watch’s clarity and unmistakable aviation aesthetic.
The Type 20 Chronographe 2057 features a bi-compax layout with two prominent subdials: a 30-minute totalizer at 3 o’clock and a small seconds display at 9 o’clock. This arrangement not only pays tribute to the original Type 20 models but also ensures a balanced and harmonious dial. The central chronograph seconds hand glides smoothly around the dial, offering precise measurements of elapsed time, while the pushers on the right side of the case ensure tactile control of the chronograph function.
Functional Features
A key feature that sets the Type 20 Chronographe apart is its flyback chronograph function, a nod to its military origins and an essential tool for pilots during rapid flight maneuvers. With the push of a single button, the chronograph resets and restarts instantly, making it easy to measure successive intervals with minimal fuss. This feature not only underscores the watch’s professional pedigree but also enhances its versatility as a modern-day tool watch.
Protecting the dial is a domed sapphire crystal, designed to evoke the acrylic domes of vintage pilot watches while providing the scratch-resistant durability expected of modern luxury timepieces. The crystal’s gentle curve adds depth and character to the watch, creating a profile that’s both rugged and elegant. Anti-reflective coatings on both sides of the sapphire crystal ensure perfect legibility in all lighting conditions, whether you’re navigating the skies or navigating city streets.
Movement and Complications
Powering the Type 20 Chronographe 2057 is the automatic calibre 7281—a robust movement that combines reliability with contemporary performance. Beating at 4Hz, this movement offers exceptional precision and a power reserve that’s perfect for daily wear. With its flyback chronograph mechanism, this calibre echoes the spirit of the original Type 20 while delivering modern-day dependability and performance that meets the demands of today’s watch enthusiasts.
Strap and Wearabillity
Completing the vintage-inspired aesthetic is a soft brown calfskin leather strap, meticulously crafted to provide both comfort and style. The supple leather sits comfortably against the wrist, while the stainless steel folding clasp ensures a secure fit. The rich brown hue of the strap complements the steel case and black dial perfectly, adding a touch of warmth and character to the watch’s overall look. This thoughtful pairing of materials underscores Breguet’s dedication to timeless elegance and refined luxury.
Flipping the watch over reveals a solid case back engraved with historical references to the Type 20’s military roots. This detail reinforces the authenticity of the watch and connects it to the brave aviators who once relied on it as a crucial tool. The engraved case back also protects the finely engineered movement within, highlighting the balance between form and function that defines the Type 20 Chronographe 2057.
