Last summer, Breguet brought back its iconic pilot watches in a new Type XX collection. Continuing to expand on the line, the Maison has unveiled a new civilian edition that incorporates a ceramic bidirectional ring in its gold bezel. Doused in a rich navy blue tone, the bezel insert seamlessly blends with the sunburst blue dial, allowing the gold element to shine.

Attired in a 42m case size, the timepiece is housed in a rose gold build with tonal pushers and crown. Geared with 60 hours of power reserve, the reference runs on the same 728 movement as the duo of Type XX models released last year. The caliber underwent four years of development and provides a flyback chronograph, date, small seconds, 15-minute and 12-hour counters functions.

The new Type XX Chronograph civilian version is now available for inquiry through Breguet’s boutiques and website.
