In fact, out of the 2,000 Type 20 chronographs that Breguet agreed to supply. - With that in mind, a faithful re-edition of the icon was released with Mathey-Tissot’s name and Massena LAB of a limited edition of 99 pieces was born. - Retaining its 38.5mm stainless steel case, the Type XX Tribute Chronograph is close to a one-to-one reproduction featuring the bi-directional no click bezel, large pump pushers and “big-eye” 15 minute totaliser on its brown dial that reminds one of a tropical Type 20 inspired by William Massena’s own vintage piece. Furthermore the Arabic numerals is in a rich, coffee-colored luminous treatment. - Powered by the Sellita calibre SW510BHa manual wound movement with a 48 hours power reserve, the present example is a “brand-new” unworn piece and numbered 56 form the collection.
