This just arrived via FedEx this morning. Don't know too much about these Type 20s, but I like the flyback chrono and military dial and the rotating bezel . I believe that the Airains were issued to French military (helicopter?) pilots in the '50s and '60s. Anyone with some info? Best to all.

 

So, so envious...

@Ludi may be able to chime in with some knowledge about it.

Big congrats to a great find!

 

Love the type 20's. Congrats this looks great.

 

Here are a couple of links....

These are a favorite of mine. I will pry away Fred's Auricoste sometime. Or more likely find my own.

Second link compliments of @Ludi (merci!)

Wow. Great pieces there. And thanks for the links. Very interesting. Bummer that I learned Spanish and not French in school.

 

Thank you sir! I must confess though, that I would gladly trade them all for an AMI Cairelli as fine as yours.
