Reviving this iconic French military timepiece today means upgrading it with modern engines. To keep its standard for precision and accuracy, we powered this watch with a Japanese Seiko VK64 Mechanical-Quartz hybrid movement.
The watches boast of the iconic big-eye dual chronographs to stay with the Type 20’s look from decades ago. With a 24-hour subdial and a 60-seconds subdial, you will never miss a second of your precious time.
The French government commissioned the Type 20 chronographs for the French Air Force, the Centre d’Essai en Vol (the CEV) and the Aéronavale (naval aviation). Type 20 refers to an internal military specification – note that military watches were named “20” in Arabic numerals, while Breguet used “XX” for its civilian models. Following an open invitation to tender, multiple brands were selected to manufacture the Type 20 Chronographs: Breguet, Mathey Tissot (which produces some of Breguet’s watches, hence the resemblance between these two), Chronofixe, Airain, Auricoste, Dodane and Vixa (the latter being unique in this list, as it uses older Hanhart movements and case architecture, recovered by the French government as payment of war damages).
