Breguet Marks 250 Years with Limited Edition Type XX Chronographs Inspired by 1955 | stupidDOPE | Est. 2008
Briefly

In celebration of its 250th anniversary, Breguet introduces the Type XX Chronograph reference 2075, recalling its aviation heritage with two limited edition chronographs. Inspired by 1955 pilot watches, these pieces merge vintage aesthetics with modern mechanical innovations, reflecting a resurgence in demand for heritage designs. Limited to just a few hundred pieces, the 38.3mm case is made of Breguet Gold and features two dial options. With a flyback chronograph movement and a rotating bezel for tracking time zones, these watches highlight Breguet's craftsmanship and dedication to horological excellence.
These special edition watches come at a time when heritage design and mechanical purity are once again highly sought after by collectors. With just a few hundred pieces produced, the Type XX 2075 editions offer a refined take on vintage aviation style wrapped in modern mechanical sophistication.
Breguet has chosen to revisit the silhouette and functionality of its mid-century aviation watches for this anniversary drop, introducing two versions of the Type XX 2075-both housed in a 38.3mm case crafted from Breguet Gold.
Each option brings its own flair, with the black dial evoking classic military field instruments while the silver offers a cleaner, more dress-oriented look. Both designs are topped with luminous markers, bold Arabic numerals, and contrasting sub-dials that remain faithful to the original Type XX design language.
Inside the case beats the in-house manually-wound Type XX flyback chronograph movement, made up of 258 meticulously engineered components. Operating at an impressive 5 Hz (36,000 vph), this movement offers exceptional precision and performance.
