Breguet 3880ST Type XXII Transatlantique Flyback SS Black Dial

The Breguet Type XXII Transatlantique ref. 3880ST/H2/SX0 is a modern pilot chronograph with a notably technical spec sheet. It builds on the Type XX line but moves in a more contemporary direction, most importantly with a high-frequency 10 Hz automatic movement. Introduced in the early 2010s, this reference brought added complexity to the civilian Type XX family with a flyback chronograph, a second time zone display, and a larger, more assertive case profile. The watch is housed in a 44 mm stainless steel case with a matching steel bracelet. Its black oxidized dial keeps the layout clear and functional, in line with the aviation character of the series. Powering the watch is the Breguet caliber 589 F, an automatic movement with a 10 Hz beat rate, a silicon balance spring, and chronograph seconds displayed with unusual precision. That movement is a clear break from the earlier Lemania-based Type XX references and gives the Type XXII a different place within the lineage. The flyback chronograph remains one of the watch's defining features, carrying over a function closely associated with the original military Type XX models. The GMT display adds everyday practicality and sets this reference apart from simpler examples in the broader Type XX range. The 3880ST/H2/SX0 was not produced as a boutique or country-specific limited edition, but it holds a distinct position in the Type XX family. Its high-beat movement, 44 mm case, and modern design make it one of the more unusual Breguet sports chronographs of the period. For a collector looking for a Type XX with a more technical, contemporary feel, the Type XXII Transatlantique is an especially interesting reference. Like New with Breguet box and papers dated 2017.
