Dodane Type 21 two-counter chronograph with in-flight return. Military pilot's watch of the Army's light aviation. Black dial with a railway gauge at 12 o'clock, luminescent numerals enhanced with Tritum. Model assembled and signed by the Dodane company in response to the call for tenders to equip the army regiments, this pilot's watch is mechanically the most accomplished of the Type 20 and Type 21 series.
The reliability and the facility of maintenance of this chronograph is due to the use in the manufacture of its movement, the calibre Valjoux 223 with escapement with anchor and stage "flyback", of spare parts of a higher quality than the standard in use in the armies of the time. A characteristic which entailed its use in operational endowment on a very long period within the armed forces. It should be noted that many pilots wished to keep their watch at the end of their career, which considerably reduced the number of pieces in circulation and therefore increases its rarity and its interest in terms of collection. This watch was used in the combat helicopter regiments equipped mainly with Sud Aviation "Gazelle" helicopters from 1960 to the 90s. This vintage chronograph is driven by a Valjoux 223 movement, an evolution of the Valjoux 222c caliber that equips the Breguet model or the Dodane type 20 of 1954 in service with the Air Force. These chronographs are distinguished from the "Type 20" models by the use of a Swiss-made movement with a superior finish and whose downtime for maintenance is shorter. The production of this watch, estimated at 5000 pieces at the beginning, has seen a good number of pieces transformed into spare parts for economic reasons along the operational career of this model, and it is estimated that today there is only a quantity of less than 500 in working order.
