Breguet Type XX Service
When Abraham-Louis Breguet founded the luxurious watch company in 1775, he made sure that the company would focus on functionality and have his timepieces serve many purposes across all service fields. The Breguet Type XX did just that with major military implications post-War World 2. The type 20 referred to the French Ministry of Defense specification referring to a pilot's timepiece being part of their standard equipment. The French military wanted to provide its pilots with reliable and accurate wristwatches during flight. Part of the need for the timepieces was so that pilots would accurately map out routes and estimated travel time. One issue with this was that there would need to be three separate functions to operate the chronograph, start, stop and reset. To counteract this delay for pilots Breguet developed a flyback function that would instantly reset and continue the time recording with the push of a button. Some of the distinct features of the Breguet Type 20 is its black dial and luminous hands and markers for easy visualization. At Gray & Sons, we specialize in servicing all Breguet models to the highest standards. We will take a closer look at this week's service from the repair department.

Breguet Watch Repair Near Me
Here at Gray and Sons we pride ourselves in delivering the best quality in service to preserve and maintain the proper working conditions of all Breguet models including Type XX, La Marine and Classique. We recently received a Breguet Type 20, reference 3800ST, come through the workshop for a maintenance service. Factory specifications indicate you should routinely have your Breguet serviced every 3-4 years taking into consideration the owners operating habits. This Type XX has a 100 meter dive capability with a stylish 39 MM case measurement in stainless steel. The dial has three sub-dials located at the 3, 6 and 9 o'clock position. Our in-house watchmakers and polishers with over 150 years of combined experience have immense knowledge regarding all Breguet chronographs. To begin the process, our master watchmaker carefully disassembles the case to separate the movement from the container housing all of the casing components. The case is then sent to our polisher for case refinishing to restore the luster to the case and bracelet. Now with the movement carefully out of the watch case, our master watchmaker begins disassembling the components piece by piece. During which they are meticulously inspecting each part for wear or damage to properly ensure the lifespan of the service.

Once completely torn down to the last screw, the movement is gently placed into our ultrasonic cleaner which will use vibration in three different solutions. During the process, old coagulated oil is dissolved and components are cleaned and returned to their original clean state. Once the movement parts are dried our master watchmaker begins assembly by carefully putting together each component in their appropriate order while checking pivot end shakes and freedom for accurate function. During reassembly of the Breguet Type XX, the watchmaker uses four different synthetic oils to lubricate each point of friction and rotation through factory specifications. Movement is then tested for timing accuracy and amplitude to ensure all proper adjustments were made during the reassemble process. With a freshly clean and regulated movement, it is time to return the movement into its beautiful refinished case where it will again be checked for functionality and display. Type 20 is water tested to its suggested depths to ensure water resistance. Watch will then be put on time and quality controlled over the course of 1-2 weeks to observe its power reserve and automatic system. Gray and Sons are proud to be your choice for Breguet services and repairs to return your timepiece to its original working condition.
