Breguet Type XXII (Model: 3880ST/H2/SXO)

Model: 3880ST/H2/SXO

For collectors seeking one of the most technically advanced aviation chronographs ever produced, the pre-owned Breguet Type XXII reference 3880ST/H2/SX0 represents an extraordinary combination of innovation, heritage, and value. Inspired by Breguet's historic pilot's watches, the Type XXII elevates the legendary Type XX collection with a cutting-edge high-frequency movement and exceptional chronograph performance.

Crafted in a 44 mm stainless steel and presented on its original stainless steel bracelet, the watch combines sporty durability with refined finishing. It also includes a black calfskin strap with Breguet folding buckle, allowing the owner to easily transform its appearance from an everyday sports watch to a more understated, elegant timepiece.

At the heart of the Type XXII is Breguet's remarkable in-house self-winding chronograph movement, operating at an impressive 10 Hz (72,000 vibrations per hour). This high-frequency caliber allows the chronograph to measure elapsed time with extraordinary precision to 1/20th of a second—an achievement rarely found in mechanical wristwatches. The movement also features a flyback chronograph complication, enabling the chronograph to be instantly reset and restarted with a single push, a function originally developed for military aviators.

Presented in near-mint condition, this example comes complete with its original box and papers, making it especially appealing to collectors. Originally retailing for $29,500 and now offered for just $13,900, it represents exceptional value for an in-house, high-frequency flyback chronograph from one of Switzerland's most prestigious manufactures.

Combining Breguet's unparalleled watchmaking heritage, advanced mechanical engineering, and outstanding value, the Type XXII reference 3880ST/H2/SX0 is an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most technically sophisticated modern pilot's chronographs available.
