Breguet Type XX–XXI–XXII: Aviation Heritage, Reinvented
Designed in the 1950s for the French naval air army, the Type XX returns to the Breguet collection in a civilian version fitted with a self-winding movement. Originally built as a pilot’s chronograph for military use, the Type XX series now stands as a bridge between instrument-grade functionality and contemporary luxury.
The Breguet Type XX, XXI, and XXII models retain the DNA of the original, bi-directional rotating bezels, highly legible Arabic numerals, and robust flyback chronograph movements, while incorporating modern upgrades like column wheel architecture, silicon escapements, and increased power reserves. The collection also includes high-frequency models like the Type XXII, capable of beating at an impressive 10 Hz.
Crafted in stainless steel or titanium, and paired with leather straps or metal bracelets, these timepieces are equipped to handle life at altitude and on land alike. The oversized pushers, precise elapsed-time functions, and vintage aviation styling speak directly to Breguet’s role as a supplier to military aviation, but also to a new generation of watch collectors who seek purpose-driven design.
At Jewels By Love, Authorized Breguet dealer, we are proud to showcase the Type XX–XXI–XXII collection, a modern classic born of military necessity and reborn for civilian adventure. Explore the collection and experience Breguet’s bold flight into the world of technical chronographs.
