Breguet’s Type XX Chronograph 2067 in rose gold marks an exciting new chapter in the brand’s storied aviation lineage. This civilian version of the historic military-inspired design draws on archival DNA, most notably from the rare, all-gold Type 20 No. 1780 dating back to 1955, while offering a thoroughly modern look and feel. The 42 mm rose gold case is both satin brushed and polished, resulting in an assertive yet refined presence on the wrist. A new bidirectional bezel with a glossy blue ceramic insert provides added functionality, echoing the contrasting bezels found on second-generation Type XXs of the 1970s. The sunburst blue dial, reminiscent of a twilight sky, features oversized numerals and distinctive sub-dials, including a plus-sized running seconds indicator at nine o’clock. White luminescent coatings ensure clear legibility in any light, while a discreet date aperture sits between four and five. This new Type XX arrives with an interchangeable alligator strap and a midnight-blue NATO opt
