Type XXII

The Breguet Type XXII reference 3880ST/H2/3XV is a high-frequency aviation chronograph that represents a modern evolution of the legendary Type XX pilot’s watches. Crafted in stainless steel and measuring 44mm in diameter, this technically advanced model combines contemporary design with cutting-edge mechanical innovation.

The black dial ensures optimal legibility, featuring luminous Arabic numerals and hands inspired by classic aviation instruments. The balanced chronograph layout incorporates a 30-minute counter and a 12-hour counter, while the flyback function allows instant reset and restart of the chronograph with a single push. The bidirectional rotating bezel enhances the watch’s pilot-oriented functionality. The leather strap complements the robust stainless steel case, offering both comfort and refined sportiness.

Powering this model is the automatic Breguet calibre 589F, a high-frequency in-house movement operating at 10 Hz (72,000 vibrations per hour). This exceptional frequency allows the chronograph to measure time to 1/20th of a second, a remarkable technical achievement. The calibre delivers approximately 40 hours of power reserve and reflects Breguet’s commitment to precision and innovation.

This example is presented in very good condition and is supplied as a full set, including the original Breguet box and warranty papers. As a certified pre-owned luxury watch, it has undergone comprehensive inspection to ensure authenticity and optimal mechanical performance.

A highly distinctive pre-owned luxury watch, the Breguet Type XXII 3880ST/H2/3XV represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a stainless steel high-frequency flyback chronograph from one of Switzerland’s most prestigious watchmakers.
