History:
The story begins in the early 1950s, when the French Ministry of Defense expressed a specific request: to equip its pilots with a chronograph watch that met specific requirements. He himself named this model \u00ab\u00a0Type 20\u00a0\u00bb.
Among the watchmaking companies that submitted bids, four were selected: Breguet, Auricoste, Vixa and Dodane. However, it was Breguet that won the largest share of the market, representing around 50% of orders. From the early 1960s, Breguet saw the commercial potential of this chronograph. Alongside the Type 20s intended for military pilots, the company launched a \u00ab\u00a0civilian\u00a0\u00bb version called the Type XX. This model quickly became a best-seller.
In 1994, the third generation of Type XX was born, available in two versions: the A\u00e9ronavale, without date, and the Transatlantique, with a date window at 6 o’clock.
