Functional Value
The flyback chronograph is the defining functional advantage of this reference. It allows the chronograph to be reset and restarted with a single action, which gives the watch a more practical and aviation-rooted purpose than a standard chronograph.
Design Significance
The 2057 takes direct inspiration from the Type 20 watches delivered to the French Air Force between 1955 and 1959. The black dial, Arabic numerals, mint-green luminescent details, and enlarged 30-minute counter keep the design faithful to that military identity while making it feel current.
Versatility in Wear
This is a steel chronograph with a strong, useful presence. The 42mm case gives it substance, while the black dial and calfskin strap keep the watch grounded, approachable, and easy to wear across casual, travel, and collector-focused settings.
Strategic Role in a Collection
Within a broader collection, the Type 20 serves as the heritage-driven pilot’s chronograph. It is a thoughtful alternative to more common chronograph choices and brings a different kind of significance: less about obvious recognition, more about aviation history, Breguet credibility, and practical design.
