2010 BaselWorld Preview: Breitling Avenger Seawolf Breitling 73 Calibre

Black, robust and highly technical. The most remarkable feature of the Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel, its magnetic push-piece system, is hidden inside its case. With this exclusive, patented device, the watch can be activated through the metal case without any direct mechanical contact. As most chronographs cannot be used when diving, this device means that the Avenger Seawolf Chrono is the only instrument of its kind that is totally water-resistant and functional to a record depth of 1,000 meters. Its SuperQuartz TM movement – another exclusive Breitling creation – guarantees a precision ten times greater than ordinary quartz movements; it measures times to 1/10 of a second and indicates intermediary times. Limited series of 2,000.
