New Release: Breitling Avenger US Navy Edition

 

Breitling Avenger U.S. Naval Watches

Among Breitling’s long line of rugged military aviation chronographs, the Avengers are undoubtedly the most military-inspired watches. Often marketed as helicopter pilots and base ground crews, it’s no surprise that the latest addition to the Avengers family is a partnership with the world’s second-largest air force, the U.S. Navy. As part of this new naval-inspired collaboration, the latest Avenger chronographs feature three new dark, striking dial designs that pay homage to the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Navy Squadron VX-30 “Hound Dogs,” and U.S. Navy Squadron VX-31 “Sandstorm.” The new Breitling Avenger US Navy collection includes the Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Mission USNA, the Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Mission USNA Hound, and the Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Mission USNA Dust Devils, three striking modern military discount replica watches in a rugged Avenger form factor without losing the collection’s refined feel.

Functionally, the cases of the new Breitling Avenger USN collection are identical in picture to the current Avenger Night Mission collection, and the three models in the same collection share the same design save for a small engraving on the caseback. With that in mind, the collection’s 44mm wide and 15.2mm thick black ceramic case should look familiar to fans of the brand. In practice, this means that the muscular and gorgeous lines of the standard Avenger chronograph are reimagined here in a darker, more aggressive colorway and with a predominantly matte sandblasted finish.

Yet even within this solid, purposeful execution, Breitling has added crisp brushed highlights to the upper surfaces of the stepped lugs and raised bezel protrusions, as well as the Avenger’s customary decorative bezel edge screws. While this watch may share some of the same heavy, on-the-wrist impact as the rest of the Avenger chronograph family, this one should feel slightly less heavy, both visually and to the touch. The classic slim power of black is on full display in the initial images, masking some of the heaviness that comes with the wide case, high case sides, and solid bezel. On the other hand, this watch should weigh much less than the stainless steel model, making it a lighter, less obtrusive experience on the wrist. All three new watches feature sapphire glass casebacks and are water-resistant to 300 meters, making them ready to go wherever and whenever. replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore

Of course, the dials of the new Breitling Avenger US Navy Editions are where these new additions really stand out from the collection. As you can see from the pictures, the underlying layout of these three watches is the same as the basic version of the Avenger Chronograph - three sunken blue subdials, a smoothly integrated 6 o'clock date window, raised matte hour markers and faceted pointed baton hands are all present and explained here. However, through the use of color and subtle graphic design, each of the three watches presents its own personality. The Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Duty USNA is arguably the most sophisticated of the three watches, with a matte navy blue dial with rich golden yellow subdials, outer seconds scale and central chronograph seconds hand. The running seconds subdial at 9 o'clock is decorated with the ornate scroll emblem of the United States Naval Academy, which is located in Annapolis, Maryland.

For the Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Duty USNA Hound best replica watch, the brand has adopted an understated, purposeful, modern military style in the color scheme. The matte charcoal grey main dial surface is complemented by bright, dangerous yellow accents, while the subdial at 9 o’clock displays the roaring three-headed insignia of the US Navy’s VX-30 “Hound Dogs” Experimental Test Squadron in rich detail. Finally, the imagery of the Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Mission US Navy Dust Storm takes the visual aggression to the extreme. Here, the deep black matte dial is paired with fiery red highlights, and the US Navy VX-31 “The Dust Devils” test squadron insignia at 9 o’clock completes the set. Featuring a cartoon devil with a pistol riding a tornado, the insignia is arguably the most classic “squadron art” feel, and when paired with its aggressive surroundings, it’s probably the most eye-catching of the three in the image.

Each Breitling Avenger US Navy replica watches review is powered by the brand’s in-house developed Caliber 01 automatic chronograph movement. Caliber 01 has been Breitling’s go-to chronograph movement for many years, with its powerful functionality, modern design, and all-around excellent performance. Beating at 28,800 bph, it offers a 70-hour power reserve and features a column wheel and vertical clutch chronograph start system, and the movement is COSC-certified for accuracy. In terms of finishing, the Caliber 01 is decent for its price, with matte sandblasted, arabesque-brushed and linear-brushed bridges, and a further linear-brushed finish on the smooth, openworked rotor. Each Avenger US Navy edition comes with a fabric-effect “military leather” folding strap. For the Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Mission US Naval Academy, this is an appropriately dark navy blue, while the remaining two models feature black straps and dial-matching accent stitching.

Breitling’s back catalogue is never short of military themes and traditions, and perhaps no other collection in its current offerings embodies this heritage better than the Avengers. The new Breitling Avenger US Navy collection highlights the military roots of the collection with more aggressive, purposeful styling, but without losing sight of the refined, upscale feel of the Avenger collection. All three models in the collection, including the Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Duty USNA, the Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Duty USNA Bloodhound, and the Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Duty USNA Duststorm. replica Jacob & Co Epic X
