Breitling has long been purveyor of chronographs to pilots, but in the 1950's, the popularity of dive watches like the Rolex Submariner and Blancpain Fifty Fathoms pushed the company to enter that race.
In 1957, Breitling released both a time-only dive watch, the SuperOcean Reference 1004, and a chronograph in the form of the Reference 807. These timepieces would be the start of a long-lasting and ever-evolving line of nautical watches loved by many — a line continued in recent decades by the likes of the Avenger Seawolf.
The Avenger Seawolf picks up the dive watch story where the SuperOceans of the 1950s left off. This particular example from the 2010s is housed in a 45mm stainless steel case with a helium escape valve, a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a unidirectional, ratcheting steel dive bezel. Designed for maximum legibility, it features a matte black dial with applied luminous Arabic and baton indices, a matching handset, and a date wheel at 3:00. Powered by a COSC-certified automatic Calibre B17 movement from Breitling based on the ETA 2824-2, it comes paired to a matching stainless steel 'slant-link' bracelet with a signed locking clasp.
But that’s not all: This baby also includes its factory goodies! If you’ve been on the hunt for an alternative to the Sub and like the idea of a watch with some heft, you can stop your search right here — this Breitling is the answer to your prayers.
