Breitling Avenger was first introduced to the world in 2001 by being an extreme and bold rendition of the Breitling Chronomat from 1984. Since then, however, it has been revitalized, after it officially debuted in 2011. While undergoing this upgrade, the Avenger line-up retains its stink rider tabs on the unidirectional ratcheted bezel. The Breitling Avenger replica watches in this series are neither stainless steel nor a DLC-coated titanium case known as Night Mission. While still bearing the stylings of earlier Avenger models, the new line-up consists of three sized chronographs, two automatics cases, and a GMT. In other words, the Breitling Avenger collection has re-emerged in terms of performance and innovation while still holding on to its original identity. It also means that the Avenger line-up is still made for pilots in spite of looking luxurious.
Breitling Avenger Automatic 42 replica, at 42mm it’s certainly chunky, sitting flat to the wrist with a height of 12.15mm but that’s in keeping with its character as a pilot’s watch. The steel case with 300m water resistance and the prominent rotating bezel are designed to withstand the stresses of life in the cockpit of a air acrobatics or military jet. Aesthetically, it doesn’t feel like too much has changed with the case. It’s slightly smaller than the 43mm versions that used to be standard but as mentioned, it certainly doesn’t feel like a shrinking violet on the wrist. The bezel itself is equipped with screws around the circumference to act as chunky points of grip alongside the built-up markers at the cardinal points that make it easy to use while wearing gloves – they also give it a strong industrial aesthetic like the rivets on a plane. It’s one of the most satisfying bezels to use I’ve come across, although the action is perhaps on the looser side. For the same reasons the crown also has a bold grip pattern. The Breitling logo at 12 o’clock is a cursive B instead of the convoluted wing logo of the past and the minute track has been pushed outwards onto the flange instead of the main dial, making the dial (available in blue, black or green) itself much less cluttered.
