Breitling has redesigned the Avenger collection, it joins two other collections the Aviator 8 and the Navitimer in Breitling’s Air universe and marks an evolution of the brand’s pilot’s watches. Breitling is one of the world’s leading manufacturer of aviation-related watches. Like the Navitimer and Aviator 8 collections, the Avenger has its own personality.
No watch brand in the world has a more impressive and enduring link to aviation than Breitling. The brand provided onboard clocks and other key pieces of equipment for airplanes in the 1930s and 1940s, an era that in spired the modern retro design of the Aviator 8 collection. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Navitimer became the ultimate watch for pilots and remains an important part of Breitling’s collection today. Even in the golden age of commercial flight in the 1960s and 1970s, some of the most prestigious international airlines relied on Breitling’s onboard clocks while their crews counted on their Breitling watches. Breitling was even there at the dawn of manned space travel: on May 24, 1962, U.S. astronaut Scott Carpenter wore a Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute, made at his own request, on his Mercury space flight, making it the very first Swiss chronograph in space.
The Avenger originally debuted in 2001, and with the relaunch, Breitling has updated the collection and positioned it in a proud and unique place in its Air brand universe. The Avenger has clearly staked out its own territory at Breitling.
The watches in the Breitling Avenger collection are varied, with case sizes ranging from 43mm to 48mm. The choice of dial colors will appeal to any aviation fan, as will the broad selection of straps and bracelets. As you would expect from the Avenger collection, the watches are available in chronograph, “time only” models, or with a 24hour GMT hand.
