Following the launch of the new-generation Type XX in June 2023, Breguet continues to develop the line by welcoming a civilian version in gold, incorporating ceramic.
Like the versions released last year, this new timepiece draws inspiration from the emblematic watches dating back to the collection’s origins. Gold was indeed chosen for very rare timepieces in 1955, notably Breguet No. 1780, which is now at the Breguet Museum. There were only three gold timepieces in this small series, called either Type 20 (military version) or Type XX (civilian version).
Technical Specifications:
The case, in 18kt rose gold, measures 42mm x 14.1mm. Fluted 18kt gold bidirectional rotating bezel with blue ceramic ring. It has a domed AR-coated sapphire crystal, a sapphire display back, and it is water resistant to 100 meters.
Movement is the Swiss automatic Breguet in-house caliber 728 with 39 jewels, 36,000 vph and a power reserve of 60 hours. It features a flat silicon balance spring, and an inverted in-line lever escapement with silicon horns. It has a sunburst motif, snailing, chamfering, circular graining and other visible decorations on the components. Column wheel with black treatment. The blackened gold rotor is shaped like an aircraft wing and engraved with the Breguet logo. Functions are: hours and minutes.
