First introduced in 2010, the Type XXII 3880ST is an aspirational watch for all who revere Breguet, its celebrated legacy, and its spirit of innovation. It features a marvellous feat with a self-winding movement that beats at 72,000 vibrations per hour, surpassing Zenith's renowned El Primero with a 36,000bph frequency. It's a great leap forward. As a result, the watch can measure - twice the precision as the brand puts it. The seconds hand that generally takes one complete round of the dial in 60 seconds does so in just 30 seconds on this watch, letting you measure up to 1/20th of a second. The movement empowering such incredible performance is Breguet calibre 589 F with a silicon escapement and balance spring. These silicon parts are the real force behind the watch's ability to beat at such high speed.

The movement further powers a bevvy of watchmaking functions, which include date, chronograph, and GMT. The flyback chronograph function uses two hands in lieu of sub-dials. There is a central white hand with a red arrow tip to read minutes in 1/2-minute increments and a red hand to mark seconds. A sub-counter with a scale of 30 sits at nine o'clock, indicating continuous seconds for the main time. The red and white hash marks on the periphery let you read 1/10th of a second. Moving to the GMT function for which Breguet has added two sub-registers on the dial. While the 12-hour counter at six o'clock facilitates the second time zone function, the 24-hour sub-dial at three works as an AM-PM indicator.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
