The new Type XXI (aka Breguet Transatlantique Type 21) features an automatic movement with a Flyback chronograph function. The chronograph allows instant restarting of the chronograph with a single push of the button instead of the need to stop & then reset the stop-watch. It also features large minute counter rather than the traditional sub-dial, in its place (at the 3 position) is a 24 hour subdial to differentiate between AM & PM. The date window is now displayed at the 6 position which needs a little getting used to.As other Breguets, you get a world renown timepiece that has all the details covered. The only thing that I can see is it is too brown. With timepieces becoming more and more a fashion accessory, the color will be too much as an accent piece. Instead it has to be a part of the outfit and not just another "splash" of brown. The reverse stitching on the band is an absolutely a beautiful touch and it complements the detail to the crown. The size is definitely a nice manly size but not over-the-top-cheap-looking timepiece. The fit is great. The strap is a warm addition to your wrist.
