There are watches that are style oriented. There are also surviving ones. The Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Mission Red Arrows is constructed to do both. It is a watch as hard as a military grade device, as sleek as a Swiss precision engineered device and as proud as a device born of one of the most exalted aerobatic display teams anywhere on the planet.
This one is not a watch that shuns a collection, but wants to be worn, tried out and trusted in. Whether it is the matte black titanium case, in house B01 movement, the light that is supposed to punch through the cockpit darkness in terms of the lume or the symbol of the Diamond 9 Formation of the Red Arrows, it is a statement of the rich history of aviation, state of contemporary watch making, and the ethos of the high performance execution.
Background: From the Cockpit to the Collector’s Box
The stealth and the ability to be tactful is a reference to the Night Mission moniker in the Avenger line that Breitling offers. It substitutes polished steel with titanium finished with Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) a coating that lures light, easily scratched and light as a feather by virtue of its 44mm height. Night Mission watches were originally conceived as military and professional pilots instruments that must endure any combination of extreme G-forces, unpredictable weather and sudden impact.
The Red Arrows are the gem of Britain in the air show- the top aerobatic squad of the Royal Air Force since 1964. They fly close to perfection and split-second timing is needed to switch formations at more than 600 mph. Breitling is the partner to Red Arrows and the Red Arrows insignia is represented on a watch of similar precision; to-the-second accurate, bold and not to be easily flown down in turbulence.
Key Features: Where Form Meets Function
44mm DLC-Coated Titanium Case
Constructed out of grade 2 titanium which was machined to offer unmatched strength-to- weight ratio, the case itself feels exceedingly light on the wrist yet far more durable than any military-spec metal. DLC matte finish adds to the stealth reinforced aesthetics, lowers glare in direct sunlight and is easily scratched.Red Arrows Diamond Nine Emblem
At 9 o clock, however, the dial looks smug with the Diamond Nine formation badge proudly reflected upon it, a direct reference to the Red Arrows history. This minor touch turns the watch instantly, one that is now a working chronograph into a piece that has a history, and into a collector.Breitling Manufacture Calibre B01
The movement is not only in-house, it is a marker on design of modern chronographs. The pusher has surgical smoothness with a column wheel and vertical clutch system as well as chronograph is ready to go with zero hand jump. It has a COSC certification meaning an accuracy of -4/+6 seconds per day, and has 70-hour power reserve so even left on the wrist all weekend long the watch will still display the time.High-Contrast Legibility
Big Arabic figures, completely filled with Super-LumiNova globes are easily readable in the dark and full sunshine. Its hands are large, sword -shaped and full of lume so that it can be as clear as possible.Unidirectional Ratcheted Bezel
Precision is assured with the deep-knurled, glove friendly bezel which clicks with power at each of the nine turns as is essential to a pilot or diver.300M Water Resistance
As its DNA is in the skies, the watch is also no less at home at depths (it has triple-sealed gaskets, a screw-down crown, and reinforced case integrity).Rugged Strap Options
Depending on authenticity and field durability or aquatic or humid conditions, you can select a military-grade textile strap or a vented rubber strap, with both using a DLC-coated folding clasp.
