Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44

Breitling has long been purveyor of chronographs to pilots, and the original Breitling Chronomat models of 1942 were built from the ground up to be no-nonsense instruments for use in the cockpit.

Since then, Breitling has expanded on their line of aviation watches, moving into more mechanically (and visually) complex chronographs, as well as more straightforward, legible designs such as the Avenger line.

This particular piece, an Avenger B01 44, features — you guessed it — a 44mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a unique dive bezel. Inside, it has a lovely tan dial with applied luminous indices and a matching handset.

Powered by a COSC-certified automatic Calibre B01 movement from Breitling, it comes paired to a tan calf strap.

If you’ve been on the hunt for an excellent, serious tool watch watch with some heft, you've found it. Once more, it's from one of the best brands in the game.
