Breguet Type XX Chronograph 2075: A Timeless Tribute to Aviation History and Precision Watchmaking

Breguet Type XX Chronograph 2075: A Tribute to Courage and Precision

To celebrate its 250th anniversary, Breguet unveils the Type XX Chronograph reference 2075 in two striking versions.
Both take direct inspiration from the iconic Type XX first introduced in 1955.

These new flyback chronographs honor three generations of explorers and innovators.First, Abraham-Louis Breguet, the brand’s founder and master of horological innovation.Next, Louis Breguet, his great-great-grandson and aviation pioneer.
Finally, aviators Dieudonné Costes and Maurice Bellonte, who completed the first non-stop Paris to New York flight.

Their 1930 journey in the Breguet 19TR Super Bidon captured global attention.A bold question mark adorned the plane’s fuselage—symbolizing curiosity and daring.That spirit now lives on in the Type XX Chronograph 2075.

Timeless Design Meets Modern Craftsmanship

Breguet offers two distinct references:

The 2075BH/99/398 with an anodized black aluminium dial

The 2075BH/G9/398 with a solid silver dial and gradient blue calfskin strap

Both models are 38.3mm crafted in Breguet gold, an exclusive alloy with blond highlights.Each watch draws inspiration from the original “civil” Type XX, serial number 1780.
