Breguet Takes Flight With The Type XXI 3815 Chronograph

Louis Charles Breguet, great-great-grandson of Abraham-Louis Breguet, was one of the great pioneers in the field, while the House of Breguet made a name for itself with the Type XX aviation chronographs. Now Breguet have added to its collection with a new, sporty and modern model, the Type XXI 3815 chronograph.

Featuring a 42mm titanium case, it has a deep-black dial with a sunburst finish, whose modern character is accentuated by the use of vivid colors. It comes equipped with a flyback function, incorporating the latest technologies implemented by the House of Breguet, such as the silicon escapement and balance spring. Available with numerals, hands, and markers in green or orange, all luminescent, it has a display with two counters, with a 24-hour indicator and small seconds, placed at 3 and 9 o’clock, respectively.

An essential element of this collection, the mechanical self-winding movement, comes equipped with a flyback function, incorporating the latest technologies implemented by the House of Breguet, such as the silicon escapement and balance spring. The sapphire-crystal caseback reveals the movement in all its details, as well as a gold rotor with a specific finish for this edition.

Featuring a calfskin-leather strap with stitching that echoes the color of the markers and hands on the dial, rounded off with a new triple folding buckle for comfort and security on the wrist, the Type XXI 3815 chronograph is produced in a limited edition of 250 pieces per colour. A new milestone in the history of this legendary watch, which takes on a more contemporary and decidedly sporty look.
