Breitling Avenger Collection
The Breitling Avenger is a collection of bold and robust aviation watches made for the modern adventurer.

They are completely at home on the wrists of drone specialists, pilots, aviation pioneers, and even space travelers who are aiming to scale new heights while expressing their personal style. Some models are even waterproof to an impressive depth of 3,000m – proving that it is suited for all types of adventures.
Extremely robust and shock resistant, highly legible and eye-catching, exceptionally reliable and precise, Breitling Avenger watches are ready when you are. Explore our Breitling Avenger collection at SwissWatchExpo.com.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BREITLING AVENGER
Countless pilots have relied on the precision of Breitling watches while at flight. In the 1930s, Breitling began equipping cockpits with on-board flight chronographs that were quickly adopted by dozens of airlines.
In the 1950s, the company refocused their attention to the Navitimer, whose rotatable slide rule bezel helped pilots to compute for flight times, air speed, and fuel requirements swiftly yet accurately. The next few decades were dedicated to conquering not just air, but also space (with the Breitling Cosmonaute) and the seas (with the Breitling Superocean).
In 2001, Breitling introduced the Avenger to represent the transition to the era of modern aviation. Advances in aviation meant that flying for business, leisure, and even recreational purposes were increasingly conducted with ease. Breitling aimed to cater to the new generation of adventurous flyers with an extreme and bolder version of their flagship mechanical chronograph at the time, the Chronomat. The Breitling Avenger was born.
The new collection was characterized by bold and rugged cases, with well-defined rider tabs on their unidirectional, ratcheted bezels. Applied stick indices and stenciled numerals with luminescence offer optimum legibility, while options of a steel bracelet, or a strap in leather, rubber, or textile provide versatility.
Among the first models introduced was the titanium Breitling Chrono Avenger, produced between 2001 and 2007. While bulky and thick, the lightweight material made it comfortable for everyday wear. It was powered by the Breitling 13 movement and had a 300-meter water resistance.
This was followed by the Breitling Chrono Avenger M1 in 2002, which was powered by the Breitling 73 superquartz movement and came with an improved 1000-meter water resistance.
One more notable early model of the Breitling Avenger was the Seawolf. With a 3,000 meter water resistance, it was also prepared for excursions well below the ocean’s surface.
When Georges Kern joined Breitling in 2017, he set out to simplify the brand’s catalog into different categories – Air, Land, and Sea. With the ‘Air’ pillar composed of the vintage fighter watch-inspired Aviator 8, and the iconic aviation watch the Navitimer – the Breitling Avenger catered to modern adventurers who wanted to push the boundaries of flying.
To embody the new Avenger collection, Breitling also assembled an Aviation Pioneers Squad composed of three remarkable individuals who represent the new age of adventure in the air: astronaut Scott Kelly, commandant Rocío González Torres, and drone pilot Luke Bannister.
Today’s Avenger collection offers a wide range of sizes from 43mm to 48mm, and a vast array of dial colors and strap options. The improved Avenger keeps the original collection’s unique identity within the Breitling line, which Georges Kern perfectly described as “sophisticated roughness.” Meant to be bold, capable, and robust, the Breitling Avenger remains the perfect timepiece for aerial adventures.
