Type XX chronograph

, which would equip the French Air Force and Naval Aviation until the early 1980s. Today, the brand completes its collection with a new resolutely sporty and modern model, the Type XXI 3815 chronograph.

This limited-edition iteration marks a new era in the history of this iconic aviation chronograph, as the Type XXI 3815 chronograph becomes the contemporary counterpart of the previous edition with a vintage aesthetic, the Type XXI 3817 presented in 2016. The new model opts for a 42mm case made of titanium, a material renowned for its resistance and lightness on the wrist.

With its finely fluted case-band, which makes it easier to grip, this new timepiece is associated with sport, a vocation reinforced by water resistance to 100 meters, a screw-down crown and a finish alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces. The bidirectional bezel, also made in titanium, is fitted with a contrasting black lacquered 60-minute scale, reinforcing the contemporary aspect of this edition.
