Description

The Airain Type 20 Re-Edition faithfully matches in every detail the design and specs of the brand’s original 1950's Type 20 which was used by the French Army, including a hand-wound column wheel chronograph with flyback function and countdown bezel. Its dial, protected by a domed Hesalite crystal, has the same Arabic numerals as the original 1950's Type 20, with a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock and 30 minute recorder at 3 o’clock.

The hand-applied beige Super-LumiNova color has been carefully chosen to recall the original luminescent material of the original Type 20. The 39,5mm stainless steel case is slightly bigger than the original to match modern standards without losing the allure of its famous ancestor.

The Type 20 Re-Edition is powered by our caliber AM1, which boasts 60 hours of power reserve, and is developed and made by Manufacture La Joux-Perret S.A. in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.

Supplied by the brand to the GPHG for its entry.
