As part of its 250th anniversary celebrations, Breguet presents the Type XX Chronograph reference 2075 in two versions, inspired by an emblematic model dating back to 1955.
These new chronographs with flyback function pay tribute to the human genius and courage of the explorers of time: Abraham-Louis Breguet, the watchmaker who founded the eponymous company; Louis Breguet, his great-great-grandson, an aircraft manufacturer; and the aviator duo Dieudonné Costes and Maurice Bellonte, the first people to fly from Paris to New York.
They achieved this feat in just over 37 hours from the 1st to the 2nd of September, 1930. Their plane, a Breguet 19TR Super Bidon – a name chosen because of its large fuel tank – was decorated with a large question mark on either side of its fuselage.
These two new timepieces, crafted in Breguet gold, an exclusive alloy with blond highlights, feature either an aluminium dial anodized in black, or a solid silver dial. They draw their inspiration from an emblematic “civil” timepiece that Breguet presented in 1955, it bears the individual serial number 1780. As such, they proudly reflect Breguet’s spirit of technical innovation as well as its continuing respect for its own history.
Thanks.
