I have fond memories of watching the Red Arrows as a little boy growing up in England.
Breitling is an official partner of a several air forces including several RAF squadrons. They periodically release special edition timepieces for the pilots of these teams.
Not all of them are made available for sale to the general public but here’s a really cool one that can actually get your hands on.
Introducing the Avenger Automatic GMT 45 Red Arrows Limited Edition watch, made in tribute to the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team AKA, the Red Arrows.
Bold, extremely robust and shock resistant, the Avenger Automatic GMT 45 Red Arrows Limited Edition features a sturdy 45mm Stainless steel case with 300 meters of water-resistance.
The watch is characterized by a stunning blue dial that proudly sports 9 red arrows flying in their famous Diamond Nine formation.
Divers features include rugged diver’s bezel and screw-down crown with special grip-pattern, so that it can be easily operated wearing gloves.
The case-back features an engraving of the British RAF insignia with the words “RED ARROWS EDITION” above.
Limited to 220 pieces the Avenger Automatic GMT 45 Red Arrows Limited Edition watch Ref. A323951A1C1A1 from Breitling has a UK MSRP of £3,950.
Thoughts? As a Brit I’m perhaps a little biased and also because I have a fondness for the Avenger, but this the nicest Breitling air force model I’ve come across. What do you think?
