Type 21 chronofixe flyback chronograph manufactured by Dodane. A 1956 French Air Force military pilot's watch with a steel case of exquisite quality. Manual-wound mechanical watch, Two half-hour totalizer counters on the right and permanent small seconds counter on the left. Mirage III aircraft squadrons used this watch until the 70s.

The type 21 chronographs come from a public market which includes military watches for pilots of the French Air Force but also air forces that control French Marcel Dassault planes. In the fifties, Marcel Dassault aviation is a company that stands out from many fighter aircraft manufacturers worldwide. The manufacturer of Mirage fighters has already marked the world of aviation with the Bloch bombers used in WW2, the first Ouragan, Mystere 4 and Super Étandard jet planes, and many prototype planes that will allow Mirage III to exceed twice the speed of sound. Mach 2 is an insurmountable barrier for many aircraft manufacturers, which will place Marcel Dassault aircraft in the club of the best manufacturers in the world.
