Footnotes

  • The Type XX watch was not limited to one brand, but was the format used by the French Ministry to instruct the manufacturer the specific functions and styling required. The required features included in the Type XX specifications were that the watches had to have a black dial, registers situated at 3 and 9 for constant seconds and a minute recording register, flyback for the chronograph while running and a diameter of approximately 38mm.

    The Breguet Type XX has become one of the most famous due to the fact they re-issued it as a civilian watch both at the time and as a reproduction more recently. The Matthey-Tissot example of a Type XX is much rarer and is based on the same Valjoux cal.72. The current lot represents a fine example of this military style chronograph.
