    This Breguet is a rarer version, being one of the first watches produced when they decided to launch the 3rd iteration of the Type XX Aeronavale back in 1997.

    The main differences between this one and the following models are:
    - it was manufactured for only about 1 year
    - 200m WR (the other models have only 100m)
    - the movement has 26 jewels as opposed to 25 in the rest of the models (the movement is fitted with a jewel in the center of the barrel bridge instead of a zirconium stone)
    - gold capped crown
    - the "t" in Breguet is not crossed
    - it has a double folding clasp

    Reference: 3800 ST (circa 1997)

    Case: Excellent condition, never polished, without any dents, scratches, etc. Just the usual marks from normal wear.
    The diameter is 39 mm and the lug size is 21mm.

    Dial and Hands: Mint condition. The lume developed a really nice yellow-ish patina.

    Glass: Domed sapphire crystal (with AR coating?)
    Bezel: Uni-directional rotating bezel.

    Movement: Breguet cal. 582 based on Lemania 1377 but modified to add the Flyback complication.

    Crown: Original signed, gold capped crown.

    The watch was serviced by a very good watchmaker in January 2020 and it's keeping very good time. The chronograph function works as expected.

    I have the deployment clasp but I believe it's missing a screw where it should be attached to the short strap. I'm not entirely sure but I was not able to figure it out and didn't really bother me not to use it. It's included in the package along the real crocodile strap pictured below.

    Price:
    I did some research and the cheapest one I could find is 3650€ / $4300 and the variant I'm selling starts at 8800€ / $10380 (full set).
    I'm asking $4720 or 4000€ + shipping

    Feel free to contact me for more details or photos.

    Feedback:
    I have a few transactions with very happy new owners.
