Breguet 3820ST Type XX Transatlantique SS Black Dial

The Breguet Type XX Transatlantique ref. 3820ST/H2/SW9 is a steel flyback chronograph from the brand's modern Type XX revival, with real ties to Breguet's aviation history rather than just pilot-watch styling. Introduced during the 1990s return of the Type XX line, it draws on the look and function of the watches Breguet supplied for aeronautical use, then adapts that formula for modern wear. The watch has the details collectors look for in this series: a black dial, Arabic numerals, a rotating timing bezel, and a clear chronograph layout that stays easy to read at a glance. On bracelet, it feels a bit more substantial than strap examples and works well as an everyday version of the Type XX. Inside is the automatic Breguet caliber 582Q, a flyback chronograph movement that lets the wearer reset and restart timing with a single press. That function has a direct connection to aviation timing and remains one of the defining features of the model. The Transatlantique name refers to the September 1, 1930 nonstop Paris to New York flight by Costes and Bellonte in the Breguet 19 Point d interrogation. That link gives the watch a more specific historical identity within the Type XX range. Collectors continue to come back to the 3820 for its balanced 39.5 mm case, its classic profile, and its place before the larger, more contemporary Type XXI and Type XXII models. It also sits in a particularly appealing part of the market: a watch with the legibility and practicality of an old-school tool chronograph, finished to the standard expected from Breguet. This is not a documented limited edition made for a particular country or boutique. It is, however, one of the defining references of the modern Type XX line and a strong entry point into Breguet's aviation chronograph lineage. Like New with EWC box.
