A little over a year after the presentation of the fourth-generation Type XX in Paris, Breguet unveils a new version of the Type XX reference 2067, still marked by a dynamic allure but whose sporty silhouette adopts the warm reflections of rose gold, a metal introduced on two watches issued in very small series in 1955, and the face is dressed in a beautiful deep blue, two hues that evoke the sky at nightfall when the sun gently gives way to the moon.
Punctuated on the right-hand side by chronograph push-pieces and a fluted crown, the case of this “civilian” variant measures 42mm in diameter and 14.1mm thick, and is topped with a notched bezel featuring a blue ceramic ring. For Breguet, the use of this material, highly appreciated for its high resistance to scratches and corrosion, as well as its lightness, is a first. What’s more, its brilliance contributes to the contrast created by the finishes on the dial, sunburst for the main disc and azure for the trio of counters (the small seconds and hour totalizers at 9 and 6 o’clock respectively, and the oversized 15-minute totalizer overhanging the date between 2 and 4 o’clock). The hands have undergone a change compared to the Type XX of 2023, as the Alpha shape gives way to a baton style with a very elongated tip. The indications delivered by this elegant model beat to the rhythm of caliber 728, an automatic manufacture movement featuring a flyback chronograph function, a vertical clutch mechanism, and a high-efficiency barrel that provides 60 hours of power reserve.
