Pre-owned watches trade across a wide condition spectrum. These ranges are typical for the secondary market.
The Type XXII 3880 with 10Hz high-frequency oscillator and 65-hour reserve is one of the most technically ambitious sport watches in production; secondary prices reflect the movement achievement and the resonance chamber's unique acoustic character.
Editorial estimate, 2026 Q2. Actual prices vary by condition, date, and box/papers status.
Community + OSINT signals haven’t landed for this reference yet. We don’t publish a rating against zero signal — the number would mean nothing. Editorial body + caliber + market value still surface above; ratings appear once the signal corpus does.
The 10 Hz oscillator produces a near-continuous seconds sweep; any visible stepping confirms a movement issue.
| Area | What to check | What is correct | Red flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| movement | High-frequency oscillation | Seconds hand appears nearly continuous, with imperceptible stepping; 10 Hz (72,000 bph) beat is visible as smooth motion | Visible stepping in the seconds hand; standard 4 Hz or 6 Hz beat pattern indicates movement swap |
| caseback | Cal. 589F identification | Caliber designation engraved on movement bridge; movement architecture consistent with high-frequency design | Non-matching caliber designation; movement architecture inconsistent with Cal. 589F |
| case | Flyback pusher function | Instantaneous flyback reset; high-frequency movement allows precise elapsed time measurement | Hesitation in flyback reset; any sluggishness suggesting worn column wheel |
The Type XXII is the high-frequency successor to the Type XX: it runs at 10 Hz (72,000 vph) via a silicon escapement and is one of the fastest-beating production movements in the world. The frequency is the primary functional authenticator -- it is audible as a distinctly high-pitched tick and measurable on a timegrapher.
