Type XX Chronographe 2067 is a pilot's watch from Breguet.
Presented in 2023, this chronograph is in the tradition of the civilian Type- XX versions of the 1950s and 1960s, in particular a watch produced in 1957 with the individual number 2988.
It is equipped with the high-beat caliber 7281 with flyback function, created in four years of development, which has the high power reserve of 60 hours.
The innovative activation and zero-resetting systems have been designed for crisp and accurate use. Whatever function is performed, the pressure felt on the pushers will be even and balanced. The same applies to the vertical clutch mechanism, which has been adopted for the accuracy of its activation. The chronograph hand thus starts instantly without any initial jerks. To make the movement robust and guarantee its precision even in case of potential impacts, a cross-through bridge was chosen to secure the balance in place. Sized in such a way as to occupy a maximum of the available space within the movement, the barrel – the energy source – is equipped with a spring whose high-energy-density material enables a longer power reserve.
A lot of work went into the aesthetics of this new movement. In addition to the sunburst pattern, colimaçonnage, bevelling, perlage and other decorations visible on the components, the column wheel is finished with DLC (diamond-like carbon) treatment. This coating provides contrast and optimizes friction properties. The blackened gold oscillating weight is shaped like an airplane wing and can be viewed through the sapphire crystal caseback.
The “military” sibling model Type 20 Chronographe 2057 has a narrower rotating bezel and two totalizers.
