The specifications were clear: the watch had to be easy to read, http://www.watchesuuk.co sturdy, easy to handle with a power reserve of at least 35 hours ; a real mechanical instrument with every pilot’s must-have flyback function worn on the wrist or screwed to the cockpit dashboard like in the 1920s.
The watch was named Type XX in tribute to Louis Breguet’s aircrafts and approved by the French State. Over 2500 timepieces were provided mainly to the French Airforce who chose a model with a 30 minute counter whilst the French Naval Aviation department opted for one with an anti-magnetic internal container and 15 minute counter.The indentation that adorned past Breguet designs reappeared on the Type XX’s bezel and the large crown. The notches gave the watch a masculine and military look.
The 38mm round steel case was unusually large for the time and its Valjoux 22 calibre had a flyback function.The flyback was one of the demands listed in the War Ministry’s specifications enabling wearers to reset and restart the chronograph.
