Breguet 3800ST Type XX Aeronavale SS Black Dial

The Breguet Type XX Aeronavale Fly‑back Chronograph ref. 3800ST/92/9W6 is a distinguished modern reinterpretation of the French Naval Air Arm’s legendary 1950s pilot’s chronograph. Housed in a 39 mm stainless steel case with the signature coin‑edge fluting and a unidirectional rotating bezel, the watch measures a substantial 14.4 mm in thickness and approximately 45.5 mm lug‑to‑lug, offering a commanding wrist presence without excess bulk. Powered by the in‑house self‑winding Caliber 582, a column‑wheel fly‑back chronograph movement with a 48‑hour power reserve and 25 jewels, this timepiece delivers both technical refinement and functional heritage. The matte black dial, rendered with luminous Arabic numerals and syringe hands, ensures exceptional legibility—a hallmark of aviation instruments. Water‑resistant to 100 m, it remains true to its utilitarian roots while offering everyday robustness. Though not a limited edition, its direct lineage to the Type XX lineage and faithful adherence to historical cues make it a highly sought‑after collector’s piece. Its movement pedigree, historical resonance, and enduring design language firmly position it among the most respected pilot’s chronographs in modern watchmaking. Excellent Condition with Breguet box and papers dated 2003.
