The Avenger watch from Breitling, a leader in the Swiss watchmaking industry, has been closely associated with aviation timing since the 1930s. Launched around 2000, the series was designed to meet the demanding conditions of the jet cockpit environment and assist pilots in completing difficult aerial maneuvers. Since then, it has gradually evolved into a multifunctional timepiece for pilots and watch enthusiasts. With its long history and unique design features, it has become a favorite among watch enthusiasts for its combination of stylish military aesthetics, advanced Swiss movement and multifunctional functions.
The dial of the Avenger series is characterized by its sporty and functional design, including unidirectional rotating 60- minutes bezel as a countdown timing for diving.
