T.O.T Pilot's Chronograph Type 20 - GAM 56 "Vaucluse" - Prototype Project, 2009 Project This prototype chronograph (never mass-produced) comes from the private collection of the founder of the T.O.T brand, the late Mr. René Bruyeron. This piece bears the coat of arms of the GAM 56 squadron (Mixed Air Group 56 Vaucluse). A transport unit of the French Air Force since 1967, it is linked to the French special services—first the SDECE, then the DGSE—and notably to the Service Action.

Black dial with three recessed sub-dials and the Macaron emblem at 3 o’clock. Skeletonized hands with Luminova tips for night visibility and luminescent Arabic numerals. Calculation scale on the flange, styled after the Navitimer’s inner bezel, graduated in nautical miles / 60 km.
