The Ultimate Deep Sea Chronograph
Breitling Avenger Seawolf Chrono men’s watch is a part of Breitling watches Aeromarine series. This exclusive timepiece, from the prestigious Swiss manufacturer, has some extraordinary features, which cannot be found in many watches on the market. Namely, it is the only chronograph that can withstand massive water pressure and it can function accurately at a depth of 1,000 meters!
This unique ability is made possible through the use of original and innovational technology that was designed by Swiss watchmakers. This technical novelty is based on the magnetic pushpiece, which enables divers to start the chronograph at such depths since this feature is controlled through the metal of the case. This means that the activation of chronograph can be achieved without contact between the movement and the push piece.
Braitling added this innovation, in order to insure that no water will penetrate inside the watch. Therefore, Breitling Avenger Seawolf Chrono is a quartz watch, since the magnetic pushpiece system would affect mechanical watches.
Careful Planning to Overcome Challenges
There were many challenges and obstacles to overcome in order to insure that this timepiece will have a perfect function in such extreme conditions. Researchers from Federal Institute in Lausanne were hired to design a perfect geometry for the case. The result of these tests was a decision to include quite oversized components. The crystal of Breitling Avenger Seawolf Chrono is 4.8 mm thick and the caseback is almost as thick as the crystal (4.75 mm).
Another significant problem was solved by using a safety valve, that enables this model to balance substantial differences between the outside pressure and the pressure inside the case. Whenever the internal pressure reaches about 3 bars, this cleverly designed valve releases the pressure and helium in order to prevent the case from blowing up.
Breitling Avenger Seawolf Chrono has a sturdy case made of steel and a screw-locked crown. The crown and the pushpieces are really easy to handle, even when wearing gloves. In order to insure optimal readability in every possible situation, this Breitling model also has oversized hands and a glareproof sapphire crystal.
Another special feature of Avenger Seawolf Chrono is the yachting graduation that enables counting down ten minutes prior to a regata start. The extremely precise and accurate Breitling Caliber 73 Super Quartz measures times to 1/10 of a second and it provides a split-second function.
This watch is for serious divers because it can easy and accurately function at a depth of 1,000 meters. Blue rubber is definitely the right choice for me because my favorite color is blue like an ocean.
I like the innovation of this technique is the only chronograph that can withstand water pressure at depths of 1000 meters. It is truly amazing! My watch can withstand water pressure of only 400 meters
My chronograph is similar to your chronograph but only on external appearance. Your chronograph functions are very much serious.
I’ll have to buy this watch for my brother because we are planning to sail the ocean, so it is a pity that we do not have such a useful and accurate tool in our stuff… design of this watch is a fascinating!
Just as the name says- seawolf…..a lot of experience and a remarkable ability. This watch has great features and provides water resistance of 1000 meters……incredible!
I`m a professional diver and this watch is perfect for me….With 1000 m water resistance, I can dive wherever I want. I am interested in buying a new watch……how much is this one?
The model with black leather strap looks very elegant and classy…..also, with this watch, you will look powerful and unstoppable. Good design, great water resistance and phenomenal functions….. Is this enough to buy this watch or maybe not?
I am a bit disappointed as it does not have a Brietling movemnt inside but an ETA after paying so much for the watch. Also i cannot get information on this movement from Brietling or on the Internet. Its sad that such good quality watches have out sourced movements in it & sold for 10 times the price what the movement cost. Any comments from watch analysit or the Company will be highly appreciated. As i want to use this watch for many years thats the reson i thought i was buying a automatic movement.
@ Yazdi This model includes a movement that is made with ETA’ s base movement which is then further enhanced. That is not a downside to a watch, because the great majority of watches are in fact made with ETA mechanisms. Most of Breitling calibers are made this way.
If you like to get a Breitling watch which involves completely original in-house movement (that is not based on ETA or models of other manufacturers), I would suggest you get one of the models that are made with B01 mechanisms (for example Navitimer 01 or Montrbillant 01 Limited) or B04 (Chronomat GMT).
All in all, I am sorry that you did not buy a watch you expected, but you still should not despair, because you got a supreme and luxurious diving watch with features that are, to say the least, very rear. It is ten times more accurate than a normal quartz watch, thermocompensated (resistible to temperature fluctuations) and has a functional chronograph even at amazing depths of up to 1000 m (which also required a few innovations which contributes to its quality, but also to the cost of the watch).
