The “Type20” takes its name from a directive issued by the French War Ministry in the 1950s, requiring its naval aviation pilots to be equipped with chronographs featuring the “flyback” function. This complication enabled pilots to measure successive time intervals in a fraction of a second, eliminating the tedious repetition of the usual 3-step stop, reset and start operations. Only selected watchmakers of the time can claim the legendary Type20 designation.

Our re-edition of the Type 20 meets the demands of the flyback complication in a civilian version.

It is available in two versions, one with a 12-hour bezel and the other with a 60-minute totalizing bezel. A collection faithful to the legendary timepieces of the 50s, which even equipped the CEV (Flight Test Center), so that the Type 20 legend lives on.
