Breguet Type XX Aéronavale Ref. 3800 1st generation
Acier inoxydable | Automatique | 39.0 mm
The Type XX traces back to the 1950s, when the French Naval Air Force asked Breguet for a rugged chronograph with a flyback function, one that let pilots restart timing instantly mid-flight. Breguet revived that heritage in 1994 with reference 3800, staying close to the original in spirit and proportions, and the first run, produced until around 1995 before minor updates followed, is the one collectors chase hardest today. One detail sets these early pieces apart from every generation that followed: the winding crown carries a gold cap, a small touch reserved exclusively for the first series and often lost over the years, as many were swapped out during servicing.
This example wears the black dial with cream Arabic numerals and matching luminous hands that have taken on a warm, honest patina, set against a 39mm steel case and a bidirectional rotating bezel, its crown still fitted with that gold cap. Inside sits the automatic caliber 582, based on the Lemania 1350, driving the flyback chronograph across its three subdials.
Overall condition is very good, the case retaining sharp lines and the dial clean. It comes with its original steel Breguet buckle, a small but telling detail on a watch built to be worn hard.
A genuine piece of aviation history, still ready for daily wear.
