Type XXI Flyback Chronograph

This is a beautiful example of the Breguet Type XXI. The Type XXI is an evolution of Breguet's famous Type XX watches, made since the mid 20th century, originally for French navy pilots. As highly functional timepieces, the Type XX (and later) watches don't look much like other Breguets, as they are designed to be practical flyback chronographs with maximum legibility. This Breguet Type XXI 3810ST/92/9ZU has a brown arabic dial and a leather strap.

A symbol of historical and cultural heritage and technological avant-garde, Breguet has consistently exercised a powerful fascination through its capacity for innovation. From the tourbillon to the gong spring, a number of inventions by A.-L. Breguet have made an indelible imprint on the history of Fine Watchmaking. 

To this day, the Manufacture faithfully perpetuates the exceptional heritage bequeathed by its founder, as it continues to offer ever more fascinating timepieces combining technical complications and pure, refined aesthetics.
