The Type XX / Type 20 collection by Breguet is a tribute to the iconic pilot watches first developed in the 1950s for the French Air Force and Navy. Known for their robust construction, legibility, and precision, these timepieces were used for critical aviation missions.
Today, the modern iterations combine historical design elements with contemporary horological advancements, preserving the spirit of the original while appealing to modern tastes.
At the time of its launch, the Breguet Type XX / Type 20 collection was exclusively available with leather or NATO straps. Now, the highly anticipated bracelet has finally been unveiled.

Unlike the interchangeable strap system, the new bracelet requires tools for attachment and removal. Crafted in a classic three-link style, the top-facing surfaces are beautifully brushed, while the articulating sloped facets are mirror-polished for added refinement. A slim polished bevel runs along the shoulders of each link, introducing a touch of luxury to the overall design.
The clasp, which adds both function and flair, features a polished plaque engraved with the Breguet name. It employs a butterfly-style mechanism with two folding arms, incorporating a clever comfort system that allows for a 1.6mm on-the-fly extension on each side, offering a total of 3.2mm of adjustment to ensure a better fit.
Additionally, the bracelet’s links are compact and secured by screws, allowing for further sizing. This compact design ensures that, in addition to micro-adjustments, the bracelet can offer a close, tailored fit.
In addition to the bracelet, new strap configurations have been introduced to expand the collection’s versatility. Three new NATO straps—available in green, grey, and brown—along with two new leather straps in black calfskin have been added.
