Breitling's Avenger has been relaunched! What is the power of this ever-evolving, high-performance pilot's watch?

The Avenger, which Breitling has been developing for over 20 years, was renewed in November 2023. Not only has its performance improved, but a wide variety of variations are available, including a model equipped with the brand's Manufacture Chronograph Cal. 01. This time, we will introduce the new Avenger.

Breitling's Avenger has been redesigned!

　On November 1, 2023, Breitling released the new Avenger. The new lineup includes four models: the Avenger B01 Chronograph 44, which is equipped with the manufacture movement Cal. 01; the Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Mission, which also features the B01 movement but with a black ceramic case; the Avenger Automatic GMT 44, which features a GMT function; and the basic Avenger Automatic 42. All of these models retain the instrument-like style and toughness of the previous Avenger models, elevating them to even higher levels of pilot's watches.

New Avenger model

　The Avenger was launched by Breitling in 2001. The collection was inspired by the 1980s Chronomat and features a bezel with rider tabs. In 2019, it was merged with its sister model, the Colt, and the design was revamped to form the new Avenger. The collection was further expanded in 21 with the release of a model equipped with the Cal. 01 movement, demonstrating its growing presence in Breitling's Air category.

　Breitling has now revamped the Avenger collection, introducing four new models, each with a colorful dial variation.

Chronograph model equipped with the manufacture movement Cal.01

　The new Avenger, equipped with Breitling's manufacture movement Cal. 01, is available with four dial variations: blue, black, green, and sand. The strap is available in stainless steel or military leather. The stainless steel bracelet has three links with a deployant buckle that can be finely adjusted.

　The case is about 1.2mm thinner, giving it a sharper look. Other notable changes include a new push button design and the addition of Arabic numerals to the bezel's scale. The bezel rotates smoothly and comfortably.

　The manufacture movement, Cal. 01, can be seen through the see-through case back. For this model, the finish of this movement has been changed to enhance its matte appearance. The design of the movement has been changed to match the atmosphere of the model.

　Additionally, a model with a black ceramic case, also equipped with Cal. 01, has been added to the lineup. The model name is "Night Mission."

　The Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Mission is available with a distinctive black carbon fiber dial or a vivid yellow dial. The black color gives a bold impression and matches the toughness of the Avenger very well.

　The case back, crown, push buttons, and buckle are made of titanium, which, together with the ceramic material, contributes to the weight reduction. The case diameter is 44mm and the thickness is 15.2mm, which is dynamic, but its light weight makes it comfortable to wear.

　With the introduction of the Cal.01 model, production of the previous Avenger with Cal.13 was discontinued.

GMT models

　The new Avenger with GMT functionality is available with a black or blue dial and a choice of a three-link stainless steel bracelet, also with a deployant clasp, or a black or blue military leather strap.

　The red accents on the second and GMT hands create a well-balanced design.

42mm automatic model

　A basic three-hand automatic model has also been added to the new Avenger lineup. It comes in black, blue, and green dials, but unlike the soft green of the Cal. 01-equipped model, a deep camouflage green has been added.

　With a case diameter of 42mm, it is smaller than the other new Avenger models announced this time, but it still retains the ruggedness and toughness you expect from an Avenger. It's also water resistant to 300m, making it suitable for a variety of occasions.

　Like all Breitling models, it is a COSC-certified chronometer.
