The Watch

Here we have a 2016 Breitling Avenger II Seawolf 45mm Cobra Yellow A1733110, Breitling stands for high precision, outstanding performance and functionality. The all-brushed 45mm stainless steel case curves over your wrist with thick tapered lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 55.5mm and a case thickness of 18mm give the watch an impressive and comfortable purposeful fit. The screw-down non-slip crown has a patented seal system; it can be easily gripped with dive gloves due to the deep grooved design. On the left side of the 18mm thick case, we have a Helium escape valve necessary when dealing with the incredible 3000m/10000 ft water resistance. The unidirectional 120-click bezel has a deeply engraved stencil style numeral minute track, raised 15, 30, 45 giving it that characteristic Breitling profile and a large lume pip at 12 o’clock, screw detailing adds to the tool watch aesthetic. A thick domed Sapphire crystal with AR Coating on both sides protects the textured bright Cobra Yellow dial. An outer minute chapter ring surrounds polished Arabic numerals in stencil form that are broad and clearly visible, a framed date window sits at the 3 o’clock position. Large baton hands are fully lumed with Super-luminova and only need a little amount of light to charge, complemented by a red arrow tipped sweeping second hand. At 12 o’clock we have the Breitling motif "Chronometre Officiellement Certifie”,  a red ink “Automatic” and  “3000m/10000 ft” complete this incredible dive tool watch. On the reverse a screw-down case back with Breitling proudly sitting in relief and the details of the watch engraved around the edge, at the heart of the Avenger Seawolf is the Breitling Caliber 17, based on the ETA 2824-2 automatic movement, it has been assembled and tuned by Breitling Chronométrie in La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, 25 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour, the rotor is bidirectional making it an efficient automatic. The watch comes paired with a 22mm Breitling thick rubber strap with a signed buckle plus an additional Unworn 22mm Breitling rubber strap with a signed buckle in the box and the watch comes with its Breitling presentation box and paperwork.


Personal Note

There will forever be some alluring about a Cobra Yellow Breitling Avenger, it's something I remember being advertised as a kid in magazines and I was always instantly drawn to the bright yellow dial and the hefty masculine design... If you have the wrist size to pull it off, this model is an incredible watch for the money!


The Brand

Breitling was established in 1884 by Leon Breitling in the Swiss Jura Mountains. In 1915 Gaston Breitling introduced a pusher at 2 o’clock to start, stop and reset the chronograph. Leon later moved the reset to a pusher at 4 o’clock. In 1939 Breitling shipped a huge quantity of chronographs to the Royal Air Force. During the war with Germany surrounding Switzerland Leon and some friends created a makeshift runway near their factory. Planes would use the car's headlights as a guide to land. Once on the ground, they were quickly loaded, taking off before the Germans knew what was going on. They introduced the “Navitimer” a navigation computer in 1952 used to calculate a flight plan. In 1969 they collaborated with Heuer, Burne, and Dubois-Depraz on a top-secret project called Project 99. Together they developed one of the first self-winding chronograph movements. Breitling stands for high precision, outstanding performance, and functionality. During the early days of space exploration, Lt. Commander Scott Carpenter went around the earth three times whilst wearing a modified Navitimer. In 2017 they were sold to CVC Capital Partners, Europe's largest private equity firm.
