Breguet Type 20 Flyback XX
One of the cleanest designs ever made, certainly the most beautiful winding crown ever designed. This is the first series of the famous Breguet Type 20 from 1954. It’s the military variant with military engravings & service marks and unmarked dial. It comes with a Breguet Extract which states it was delivered to the ‘Ministere de l’Air on the 17th of June 1955′. The steel screw-back case is in great condition and measures 38mm excl crowns. The dial and hands are original and have aged nicely with the tritium markers having a tan color (pictures are a bit reflected but the dial is really nice). Movement is the famous Valjoux 222 with Flyback which is in very good condition and just serviced. Attached is a nice brown leather band. These are getting thin on the ground, combined with a price to sell you have to act quickly. The last one (with relumed markers) sold at auction for appox. 13.000,- euro in May 2012, so this one really is a steal.

Mathey Tissot Type 20 Flyback
Mathey Tissot actually made the Breguet Type 20′s, something which is not widely known. They also made the same watch under their own name in very small quantity’s which is extremely rare. This is a minty civilian version of the famous Type 20 with Valjoux 222 Flyback movement from the end 50′s. The large 39mm screw-back case is the same as Breguet and really shows it’s quality. The original dial is minty with luminous markers & hands. One of the cleanest and most beautiful chrono’s made.

Auricoste Type 20 Flyback Prototype
This is really rare piece, an Auricoste prototype for the French Airforce. In the 50′s the French Airforce used Type 20 Flyback chrono’s by Breguet, Vixa, Airain, Dodane and Auricoste. In the early 60′s Auricoste made this prototype with steel screwback case & gloss dial but it was never issued so only a handfull exist. It’s really beautiful and resembles the Blancpain Air Command, mainly because of the original gloss dial. It has a rotating bezel and the case measures 38mm excl. crown. The flyback movement is a rare Cal. 2040 by Lemania. One of the rarest military watches.

Breguet XX Marine Nationale Flyback chrono
One of the rarest Breguets made! Only 500 were made for the Marine Nationale and of those, very few 3 counters. This particular watch is also featured in the military book by Galizia on page 63 which makes it extra special & confirms originality. The watch is completely original in every aspect, the back is engraved with MARINE NATIONALE AERONAUTIQUE No. 439. Naturally is also bears some FG service numbers. The dial is nice & original and features very rare hands in which the tritium has turned green. We’ve matched that color in the green leather military band which looks awesome. Movement is the famous flyback Valjoux 225. When you buy this rare gem, the military watch book by Galizia will be included. A similar watch for the CEV with the same hands was sold by Antiquorum in 1991 (lot 147, 2508).
