Transatlantique - what is your favorite strap option?
New shoes for my Type XX transatlantique. I always wanted an alligator strap on top of the steel bracelet, and here it is:
I love the chocolate brown croco stra with the white stitching, and one can see the quality of the strap on the close ups.
The only detail not optimal from my point of view is the Breguet engraving on the folding buckle, which seems laser engraved. A stamped Breguet logo would even be nicer.
Here are the other options: Original steel bracelet – the option I choose when I purchased the type XX.
And finally I love the NATO strap, it give quite a different look and feel to the watch, and is both practical and comfortable to wear.
What is YOUR favourite strap option for the Type XX?
Best,
Stefan

Funnily, the less convincing for this one is the Alligator.
If we consider the Type XX as a Toolwatch, then the Alligator is a bit too precious for it. Nato? Cool. SS Bracelet? Why not, even if I am not a big fan of Breguet Bracelets. I would try to find a good rugged calf. Just my opinion, and the reflect of my t...
good idea Nicolas,
...maybe I got influenced by seeing the alligator strap option in the Boutique. No you got another idea into my head, my friend....another strap wont hurt, after all :-) Enjoy the Sunday Stefan
gator with white stitch
I don't care for bracelets, so mine is in storage and will be mint for the next owner. I tried a chocolate gator, but thought it was too dark, so now have it on a 'cognac' gator with white stitch. I do prefer a straight edge strap in order to view the flu...
My option...
... Is not the same since I have an Aeronavale and not a Transatlantique. It looks almost same except that the bezel is polished instead of being mat, thus possibly a more sport chic look for the Aeronavale and less a toolwatch ( although I have nothingba...
Nato
I think the Type XX looks great on the nato. Even the croc looks good to my eyes. Oddly, I prefer the bracelet the least.
Just received yesterday...
After long hesitation and reading about the origin of these straps, I dared this latest option Camille Fournet. Strong contrast that matches well with the dial, sport chic look just like the watch itself. Of course it does not have the beauty of the salmo...
Yes indeed. That's why I said...
that it took me some time to decide. Indeed after loong reading from different sites (among them ABP who gives detailed explanation), I discovered that it is not at all endangering this animal species. So after being assured that it wasn't worse than gett...
Some tasty combinations...
... the only Breguet (well including other Type XX, XXI etc) to look good on a Nato strap? It looks surprisingly good on the plain black nato, evocative of its military heritage. I quite like the nubuck strap seen on the Breguet Type XXI for Only Watch an...
