There are watches that mutter. Breitling Avenger Automatic 42 has the voice, quiet, but apparently confident and not loud and showy. It has the spirit of an affable aircraft gauge that has been refined during decades of professional use, but with just the proper proportion on the contemporary wrist.
The experience is physical starting the time you lift it. The brushed stainless steel case is cool to the touch, solidly built and is a brushed surface that refracts and handles light like the cranked surfaces of cockpit controls. It is a pleasing weight a kind of physical suggestion of the engineering behind and never heavy. Knurled bezel releases fingers the way a machine works and every release is measured and confident. And the dial: big, raw typeset-style numbers punctuated, jutting out ready to turn immaculate with the dimmers.
It is not an ordinary watch! it is the best friend of those who believe in equal appreciation of capability and style.
Background of the Collection: The Avenger Legacy in a Refined Form
Among Breitling activities in connection with the collaboration work with professional pilots and military aviation squads is the creation of Avenger collection. Its philosophy is clear and to the point: maximum readability, perfect integrity and ease of use in severe conditions.
Whereas the bigger 43mm and 44mm Avengers dominate your wrist, the Automatic 42 can provide something just as essential, which is versatility. It is just small enough to fit beneath a shirt cuff, but photos of it are big enough to ensure that tool-watch authority. Be it in the air or submerged or in a liberal city commute, the Avenger Automatic 42 makes itself at home in any of these situations.
Key Features: Every Element Has a Purpose
42mm Stainless Steel Case
The case is designed in high-grade stainless steel and it is normally sized comfortably and with a sense of authority. The brushed surfaces have minimal glare and are perfect where there is bright lighting outdoors or a cockpit and the polished chamfers get enough light to hint of a luxurious edge. Its sizes make it fit well on different wrist sizes.
Cockpit-Inspired Dial
Its dial is pure aviation-big Arabic numerals in a heavy military stencil type, nostalgic to the utilitarian aircraft instrument panel readouts. All the numerals and hands are filled with Super-LumiNova. that emits a bright, consistent glow so you can read it easily at low light or even in total darkness.
Unidirectional Ratcheted Bezel
For precision timing there is the bezel with Deep knurling for maximum grip. Regardless if you are in altitude gloved up or tweaking it under water, every click is solid and trustworthy, in line with the watch’s tool-grade design.
300 Metres of Water Resistance
The Avenger Automatic 42 surpasses even the usual pilot watch design standards, since it provides the water resistance of an upscale dive watch. It has been designed to endure extremes, everything about it is constructed to take the hardships of unexpected downpour to open-water dive.
Screw-Locked Crown with Protective Shoulders
The large crown makes the operation easy and protective crown guards prevent impact damages and water-tightness integrity.
Customisable Strap and Bracelet Options
It can be ordered with a stainless steel bracelet to dress it up a bit, a military textile strap which would look good in more rugged settings or a rubber strap which can be used in water. They all transform the character of the watch whilst leaving it central to its functional nature.

Aviation Heritage You Can Feel
All features, including the large numbers and the knurled bezel that was so deeply knurled, show the connection between Breitling and pilots and aviation departments dating back decades. It is not designed as an end in itself; rather it is purposeful design made in the cockpit.
