Breguet

Type XX

 

Hi Northpole,

i tried both the type XX and the XXI several times. I have a relativ small wrist but both the the bigger XXI and the XX look fine on my wrist.

However i feel that the 39 mm XX is the better choice to me - it is big enough and yet it looks classy and classic while i felt the XXI is just here to suit the current taste for larger watches. I also could not get used to the brown dial. It looks phantastic in the catalogue, but in daylight the dial seems rather light brown than dark "chocolate" brown. While i could think of many watches that look great and classy with a chocolate brown dial, it seems out of place to me on a classic pilot watch like the type XX; at least in combination with a steel case.  When i saw the type XXI the first time a few years back i tought i am going to wait until it is available with a black dial but Breguet seems tnot be in a hurry...

I just ordered the XX transatlantique on a bracelet and i am extremely confident that this is a watch i am going to wear for many years.

Go for whatever your gut feeling tells you. Looking forward to hear about your decision.

regards

Stefan

I personally can wear all the Type XX and XXI watches; and I have a tiny 6 inch circumference wrist. I wore the Lady's Type XX on a bracelet and it looked great on me, perfect classic size. I tried on the Men's Type XX on a strap in steel and on a bracele...

Welcome here! Sorry for not having answered you before, but now I'm back home. I would strongly recommend the Type XX. Like you, the Type XXI is too big for me, and the 39 mm of the type XX look perfect on the wrist. Sporty, but also dressy, this watch ca...
