Precise Measurement in 1/20th Second Increments Now Possible
The "Aeronaval Type XX (Twenty)" flyback chronograph, born in the 1950s at the request of the French Navy, is known among Breguet enthusiasts as a masterpiece among masterpieces.
Never forgetting evolution, Breguet introduced the latest "Type XXII (Twenty-Two)" in 2010, featuring an ultra-high beat specification of 20 vibrations (72,000 vibrations per hour).
The central chronograph seconds hand completes a full dial rotation in 30 seconds, enabling measurement in 1/20th second increments. This year, in addition to the stainless steel model, a premium rose gold version has been added. The elegant ambiance of the brown dial and gold case is superb.
