When you envision a watch that can withstand the heat of the cockpit of the fighter airplane, splash into the depths of the ocean and then draw other eyes in a boardroom, you are thinking about something among Breitling Avenger. And when you desire that ability ramped up -larger, more galvanically, and more mechanically advanced- you settle on the Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44.
This timepiece does not murmur. It has a voice of authority. And its 44mm stainless steel case exudes dark looks of rugged sophistication, its unidirectional bezel challenges you to fearlessly take on life, and its in-house Breitling Calibre B01 movement refuses to miss even the briefest moment to lose accuracy. It is a tool watch par excellence, but an element that has changed to meet the needs of those who seek sophistication as well as durability in the watch.
Background: The Avenger’s Evolution into a Flagship Performer
Avenger is a mainstay of the Breitling professional line, with military aircraft origin and extreme environment durability that go back many years. Their forebears, Avengers were not ashamed of being grossly large- perhaps watches designed to be seen in the confusion of a flight or during a seafaring adventure.
The Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 is one of the important phases of the collection. Because Breitling has added the B01 in-house chronograph movement, this elevates this model into another league- no longer a tool watch but a watch used by professionals; a horological instrument. It is 44mm, which still has a commanding presence on the wrist, but also achieves a balance between practical everyday utility and rock-solid durability.
Key Features: Formidable by Design
Bold 44mm Stainless Steel Case
The case is made out of satin-finished aluminium that scatters the glare in the full sunlight and remains hardly visible in appearance letting the case look a stealthy professional. Its wide lugs hold the watch in proper stance on the wrist and in-built crown guards make the screw-down crown resistant to blows.Breitling Manufacture Calibre B01
The beating heart of this watch the COSC-certified, in-house B01 calibre is a reference in terms of contemporary chronograph watch engineering. It offers lusciously smooth pusher action, pristine engagement and years of longevity with its column-wheel regulator, vertical clutch. It has 70-power hours of reserve, which effectively means one can leave the movement lying over a weekend without running out of power.Professional Tri-Compax Chronograph Layout
Three recessed sub-dials on the dial provide you elapsed seconds, minutes and hours without needing to look away. Bulky, glow-in-the-dark indexes and hands mean that they are immediately readable, and the discreet date window at 4:30 makes everyday usability a viable option and does not perturb the symmetry of the overall dial.Functional Unidirectional Bezel
The deeply knurled ratcheted bezel is designed to be gripped precisely with all the use-of-time adjustment made via the nipple to the rear of the bezel. The option is equally beneficial to people who are pilots, divers, or maintaining elapsed time when there is pressure.300 Metres Water Resistance
Although it is aviation watch, the Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 can go diving, with screw-down crown and pushers, strengthening of the sealing of the case, and the tried and tested engineering of water-resistant Breitling.Versatile Strap and Bracelet Choices
On a thick stainless steel bracelet to provide maximum presence on the wrist, a sport rubber strap to use it in difficult conditions, a military fabric strap to wear it in the field, the Avenger fits in everywhere you go and in your own style.
