# Breguet Type XX Aéronavale Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Breguet Type XX Aéronavale is a premium pilot chronograph reinterpreting the 1950s French Navy aviator icon, with a 39mm stainless steel case housing a black opaline dial featuring bold luminous Arabic numerals and a flyback chronograph, powered by the automatic Caliber 582 offering 48 hours of power reserve, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts who value military heritage blended with refined luxury.

## Overall Watch Rating: 8.9/10.0

**Brand Metric (9.5/10.0)** - Breguet's centuries-old prestige and craftsmanship rival Patek Philippe in haute horlogerie pedigree.
**Dials & Design Metric (9.4/10.0)** - The iconic black dial with superlumed markers and vintage proportions stands out like a perfectly aged Dirty Dozen field watch.
**Movement Metric (9.3/10.0)** - The in-house Caliber 582 delivers reliable flyback performance and decoration comparable to Zenith El Primero evolutions.
**History & Innovation Metric (9.2/10.0)** - Rooted in WWII-era French naval aviation specs, its flyback evolution mirrors the innovation of IWC's Mark XI.
**Material Metric (9.1/10.0)** - Premium steel construction with sapphire AR crystal and meticulous brushing matches the durability of modern Rolex Milgauss.
**Complications Metric (8.8/10.0)** - Flyback chronograph functionality performs on par with mid-tier Girard-Perregaux references.
**Rarity Metric (8.7/10.0)** - Limited production relative to its $23,400 price positions it similarly to low-volume Omega vintage reissues.
**Versatility Metric (8.6/10.0)** - Transitions seamlessly from boardroom to airfield, akin to a Tudor Black Bay Chrono.
**Functions Metric (7.8/10.0)** - Core timekeeping and flyback suffice but trail multifunction pieces like the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe.

## WM Collector Grade: A+

## Performance Insights: Excels in brand prestige, historical significance, design, and movement quality while offering outstanding value well above its price-implied expectations.
