Supersonic strength and full-throttle functionality define the newly revamped Avenger collection. Marking over two decades of Breitling’s presence at the forefront of airborne adventure. The Avenger has evolved into an unstoppable force, responding to the ever-changing demands of the skies. This overhaul places a strong emphasis on sleek aviation design, resilient materials, and the introduction of the formidable Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 to its chronograph models.
Breitling’s aviation heritage traces back to the 1930s when founder Willy Breitling, the third-generation visionary, established the HUIT Aviation Department. This dedicated department was committed to crafting precision aircraft instruments and pilots’ chronographs. The expertise gained in the nascent field of military aviation extended into the era of commercial air travel, resulting in iconic timepieces like the Navitimer, AVI Co-Pilot, Aerospace, Emergency, and the Avenger. No other watch brand boasts a more impressive and enduring connection to aviation.
Breitling CEO Georges Kern underscores the Avenger’s purpose, stating, “The Avenger was designed to withstand the rigorous conditions of a jet cockpit and to aid pilots in demanding aerial manoeuvres. Its redesign left no room for compromise. This collection seamlessly combines exceptional performance with sophisticated, contemporary aviation style.”
The new range is offered in three distinct formats: a 44mm chronograph, a 44mm automatic GMT, and a 42mm automatic model. Each variation provides the choice of a military leather strap with a folding pin buckle or a three-row stainless steel bracelet with a micro-adjustable folding clasp. These timepieces all boast an impressive water resistance of 300 meters. Ensuring durability and ease of use, whether you’re executing barrel rolls or not. Now, let’s delve into the details of each model.
