The Breitling Chrono Avenger M1 from the Breitling Watch Aeromarine Collection has many attributes similar to all Breitling Avenger watches including 1,000 feet of water resistance and magnetic push piece. What makes the Breitling Avenger M1 different is the design, style and structure of this Breitling watch.
The Breitling Chrono Avenger M1 watch has a case made of titanium and is fitted with a screw-locked crown that features a decompression valve. Each piece is enlarged including the bezel, crown and push pieces to ensure that a wearer with gloves can use it easily as if he were using his/her own hands.
Another amazing feature of the Breitling Chrono Avenger M1 is the SuperQuartz Caliber B73 which displays and measure short times to the nearest 10th of a second as well as split times. Other technical data includes a dial aperture calendar, unidirectional and ratcheted bezel, screw-locked crown with two gaskets, screwed in case back, and cambered sapphire crystal that is glareproofed on both sides.
The Breitling Chrono Avenger M1 watch comes in your choice of three strap types including the Breitling Professional II bracelet, leather, crocodile, or Breitling Diver Pro strap. The Breitling Professional II bracelet is available in titanium, the leather straps come in green, blue, black, gold and brown; the crocodile straps are available in blue, green, camel, black, gold burgundy and brown; and the Breitling Diver Pro straps are available in blue or black.
With this Breitling watch, Avenger Seawolf Chrono, you could possible journey to the center of the earth and back with no damage. It is the only chronograph to be water resistance and operational at 3,300 feet or 1,000 meters. Normally, at those depths water would trickle through the crown and the watch would probably explode… well, maybe just crack.
Exploding and cracking are definitely not in this Breitling watch’s vocabulary, because it can’t be touched. Literally, it can’t be touched. If the wearer presses buttons and twist things around, they have no connection to the movement unless they break the watch apart. So the movement is totally isolated due to a magnetic technology developed by Breitling.
Not only is keeping water out important, but saving your eyes is another great quality of the Breitling Avenger Seawolf Chrono. It has large numbers littering the dial as well as oversized hour, minute, and second hands…all luminescent for those dark moments.
Additional technical data includes a Breitling 73 caliber, thremocompensated SuperQuartz movement, 1/10th second chronograph (…60 minutes, 12 hours), dial aperture calendar, steel case, unidirectional and ratcheted bezel, screw-locked crown, and cambered sapphire crystal glareproofed on both sides.
One of the hardest pieces of equipment for a diver to purchase is a watch. It has to be water resistance for hundreds even thousands of meters. A quality watch is needed when under water, one that can last and the Breitling Superocean lives up to its names.
Since 1987 Breitling Superocean watches have been the best of the best when it came to diver’s watches and today’s version is no different. The Breitling Superocean watch is water resistant to 5,000 feet because of its screw-locked crown and safety valve which allows it to release helium that builds up after spending time under water.
The Breitling watch also has great readability with glareproofed sapphire crystal on both sides, large hands, a triangular shaped hour hand, and luminous markers; all increasing visibility under water.
Additional technical specifications include a Breitling 17 caliber, 25 jewels, steel case, and a unidirectional ratcheted rotating bezel. Additionally, the bracelets are available in Breitling Professional strap in stainless steel or the Diver Pro strap in green or blue.

Want a durable Breitling watch? How about a Breitling Professional Aerospace made out of Titanium? The first thing most people think of when they hear the word “Titanium” is a superhero, usually the “man of steel” himself, Superman. But before we get visions of flying around the globe fighting crime with our Titanium Breitling watch check out a few facts about Titanium and how awesome it was for Breitling to include it as an option:
Titanium…
is a chemical element with a symbol of Ti and an atomic number of 22
is light, tough, radiant, corrosion resistant, a transition metal, and silver
can be alloyed with iron, vanadium, aluminum, and many other elements
when alloyed it is used for missiles, jet engines, chemical plants, cars, prostheses, implants, sporting goods, jewelry, mobile phone, and much more
unalloyed is just as strong as other steels but 45% lighter
But Titanium, although one of the coolest features of the Breitling Professional Aerospace watch, it’s not the only feature. This Breitling watch comes with a Breitling 79, SuperQuartz(TM) movement, EOL indicator, 1/100th second chronograph, a digital display with day and date programmed for up to 4 years, 330 feet of water resistance, unidirectional and ratcheted crown, and sapphire glareproofed crystal on both sides… just to name a few.
