The history of this Breitling Super Avenger
The Breitling Super Avenger made its debut in the early 2000s. The Swiss watchmaker was responding to a technical demand for large-scale timepieces capable of withstanding demanding flight conditions. This chronograph, reference A13370, exemplifies this functional approach. The metal tabs positioned on the bezel at the 15, 30 and 45-minute marks are not merely an aesthetic choice. They were designed by the brand to protect the sapphire crystal from frontal impacts inside cockpits, whilst allowing pilots to operate the rotating bezel whilst wearing flight gloves. This timepiece is aimed at enthusiasts seeking a robust instrument offering immediate readability.
