Nicolas, known as amanico on WatchProSite, shares his profound appreciation for the Breguet Type XX Aéronautique Navale. His evocative photography and personal reflections highlight the historical significance and enduring appeal of this iconic pilot's chronograph, offering readers a glimpse into why this particular reference remains a coveted piece among collectors.

My first photos of one of my summer watches, the only one I have on loan. Will have to give it back with huge regrets this week. 

The dial is crazy. Ok, the hands have to be relumed, which is not a tough issue to solve. 






The day I received it: 







A dream, this watch. For its history, its beauty its charm and incredible power. 

More to come as I took tons of photos! 

Best,

Nicolas

Maybe you should make it a permanent loan, and stop answering your phone 😀😀😀

... and I would be extremely happy for you if you could realize it for yourself. Suits you great and seriously what a piece (of history). As a side note: god d*** it Breguet, just renewing this one would have been so easy. I'd give you size increase, I'd give you dial colors... but the way it turned out 😬 Perhaps a no date version in the future? Cheers, Alex
