Breitling has long been known as the go-to brand for aviation watches, especially when it comes to its precision-grade chronographs. The Swiss-made watches are also known for its Navitimer and Aviator 8 collections. Both are exceptional icons in the world of aviation but this time, we’ll be focusing on the Breitling Avenger.
The Breitling Avenger made its original debut in 2001 by being a bold and extreme interpretation of the 1984 Breitling Chronomat. However, it has since gone through an upgrade. This has allowed the Breitling Avenger to position itself in a respectable place in its Air brand universe.
It introduces modern performance and innovation in today’s watches while keeping intact the brand’s DNA. Rest assured, the Breitling Avenger is still made for pilots first and foremost while still maintaining its luxury appeal. In total, there are 14 different refs. that ranges from chronographs to automatic GMTs and something special in-between.
