Only Watch 2015 — Breguet Type XXI 3813
Breguet Type XXI 3813 for Only Watch 2015
Today Breguet has unveiled their contribution to the Only Watch 2015 charity auction, the one-of-a-kind Type XXI 3813 pilot’s chronograph. It is based on the Type XX watches that Breguet made on the order of the French air force and navy from 1954 onwards through the 1970s. Supplied to pilots as standard issue, the Type XX soon became a cult object much sought-after by aviators. The enthusiasm among collectors convinced Breguet to revive the Type XX in a contemporary civilian version
What makes This Type XXI 3818 unique? It’s the material, platinum that is quite an unusual metal for a tool watch.
