The first generation of Avenger Seawolves debuted in the early noughties, I forget exactly when but I know that I got in the action as soon as it became available and you know what I still have MINE – and I love it.
Breitling’s ASW is currently into its third perhaps even fourth generation but it’s a bold as ever, ever bit as robust and shock-resistant, it’s the World’s deepest diving aviator with up to 300 bars - 3.000m of water-resistance.
Like all Avengers it is equipped with a 120-clcick unidirectional diver’s bezel with its 4x signature rider tabs there to help facilitate manipulation by all sorts of fingers - bony, sausage-like, gloved or otherwise.
The Avenger Automatic 45 Seawolf UK Edition features a sturdy 45mm Stainless steel case, a matte black dial and a choice of either a Stainless steel link bracelet or black Breitling-embossed rubber with a Stainless steel folding clasp.
Power comes from a Breitling Cal. 17. This edition is only available in the UK and limited to just 350 pieces. MSRP is £3,700 (bracelet) or £3,550 (rubber).
So what’s different? Compared to the Avenger II Seawolf that is currently available in markets such as the US, this edition the red “Automatic” text.
Plus it comes with grey hands and markers; a simple white line frames its date rather than metal as well as further reduced dial text, so you could say that it’s a more paired version.
Below is the regular variant – compared to this UK edition it’s definitely a lot showier so personally (being from the UK) I am naturally drawn to the UK edition. How about you?
