AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

One of the most celebrated pilot's chronographs in history: the Breguet Type XX Aéronavale, reference 3800.

This watch is a direct descendant of the legendary timepieces developed for the French naval air army (Aéronavale) in the 1950s.

The reference 3800 is a brilliant modern re-interpretation that retains all the vintage military charm while being powered by a sophisticated, high-end automatic movement. The watch's most famous and essential feature is the "flyback" (or retour-en-vol) chronograph, which allows the user to reset and restart the chronograph with a single push of the lower button—a critical function for pilots.

This timepiece is pure Breguet, combining a rugged tool-watch identity with exquisite finishing. The 39mm stainless steel case features the brand's signature finely fluted case band, a detail that immediately signals its noble heritage.


This example is in very good condition. It presents beautifully, with only light, honest signs of use on the bezel. The case sides, lugs, and sapphire crystal remain in great shape.

It comes as a "watch only" offer, paired with a genuine Breguet strap. Please note that the strap is fastened by a aftermarket buckle (not original Breguet).

Highlights:
• Flyback Chronograph: The essential retour-en-vol function, true to the watch's military specifications and a hallmark of a high-end pilot's watch.
• Military Heritage: A direct descendant of the original 1950s Type XX supplied to the French Aéronavale, making it a true piece of aviation history.
• Breguet DNA: Features the beautifully executed, signature fluted case band, setting it apart from all other pilot's chronographs.
• Perfect Case Size: The 39mm case is widely considered the "sweet spot" for this model, offering perfect proportions, classic presence, and versatile wearability.
• Genuine Strap: Comes on an authentic Breguet strap, maintaining the watch's intended aesthetic.
