HI guys,
I present the Breguet Type 20 military second production ...

It was produced in the middle of the 60s, it has the dial signed with 3 counters ( one it's a big eye counter with 15 minutes ), engraved bezel, modified Valjoux 22 movement (225) flyback with unmarked bridge ...
The case is 38 mm. with screw cap and pump pushers

The characteristic that makes it particularly rare and endearing is the C.E.V. engraving on the case back (it is the certification of the use of watches at the Center of Essais en Vol in Bretigny sur-Orge, Essone, where tests and experiments are carried out flight )

For knowledge of the reader, it's estimated that the CEV commissioned 50 pieces with 3 counters to Breguet, all numbered on the back ...

For me it is one of the most beautiful chrono ever 馃槑

Thanks for reading
Alfredo

What nice chronograph ! Really beautiful piece ! We were discussing about these with another member this morning they are really gorgeous and Breguet is obviously the best pick of all the Auricoste, Dodane or Vixa 馃榿

I too was going to Dib, as it could very well be a birth year watch, but I'd have to sell 4 to 6 of my speedmasters to afford this wonderful piece.

Beautiful Type XX.

I agree with you, one of the most beatiful chronos ever manufactured and yours is in very good condition.

Thanks for sharing it.

I know what I will be wearing tomorrow, my Dodane type 21...
nowhere near as nice as your Breguet, but it deserves an outing!
