Breitling Avenger Hurricane 45
Breitling have never shied away from big watches. Their long-standing tagline, “Instruments for Professionals”, reflects exactly that, and perhaps no collection more so than the Avenger.
Originally designed for use by jet pilots, the Avenger pushes the boundaries of legibility, functionality, and resilience. However, some found the larger cases a little heavy, even in titanium. To address this, Breitling developed its own material, Breitlight® which is significantly lighter than titanium, yet still highly resistant to scratches, corrosion, and magnetic fields. The new material was used for this Avenger Hurricane, resulting in 45mm chronograph that weights just over 61 grams, while retaining a bold, utilitarian, tool-watch aesthetic
The matte black dial features white stencilled numerals and matte grey, lume-filled hands for excellent legibility. The chronograph is also easy to read, without cluttering the dial, and the date window is discreet yet legible. Yellow accents on the dial add a sporty feel to the watch.
The case retains all the Avenger DNA enthusiasts have come to expect. The unidirectional rotating bezel is fitted with Breitling’s signature riders for improved grip, while the oversized knurled screw-down crown, designed with glove-wearing pilots in mind, helps to provide 100 metres of water resistance.
Powering the watch is the in-house Breitling 01 automatic chronograph movement, offering an impressive 70-hour power reserve.
Perfectly complementing the stealthy appearance of the case, the watch is fitted to an anthracite grey fabric strap, adding to the lightweight, tactical feel.
This 2020 example is presented in excellent condition, showing very few signs of wear. It is offered as a full set, including a presentation box and travel case, warranty card and instructions, and is covered by our 6-month warranty for additional peace of mind.
The Avenger Hurricane offers a different take on a luxury sports chronograph, keeping its aviation heritage while adding innovative materials and a modern movement.
