Breitling, a name synonymous with the skies since the 1930s, was born from the visionary mind of Willy Breitling. His HUIT Aviation Department, a pioneer in precision aircraft instruments and pilot’s chronographs, laid the foundation for a legacy that would soar to new heights. As the world took to the air, Breitling was there, crafting iconic timepieces like the Navitimer, AVI Co-Pilot, Aerospace, Emergency and Avenger. No other watch brand can claim such a deep and enduring connection to the thrilling world of aviation.
Forged in the fires of fighter pilot cockpits, the Avenger collection roared onto the scene in 2001. Unrivalled stability, performance and a bold design have made it the ultimate companion for airborne adventures for over two decades. You don’t need a pilot’s license to join the mission.
Dominating the wrist with its bold 44mm case, the Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Cobra Limited Edition bleeds a fearless presence. The grip pattern on the crown and bezel, along with the square chronograph pushers, ensures effortless operation, even for gloved pilots. Its highly legible Arabic numerals, reminiscent of the stencilled numbers on aircraft carrier decks, guarantee readability in any condition. Clad in an anthracite military leather strap and boasting a water resistance of 300 m, this limited edition watch is ready to conquer any challenge.
A limited edition wonder, the Cobra watch draws inspiration from the fearsome superpredator. With its unmistakable shape, formidable size and commanding presence, the cobra embodies speed, precision, agility and resourcefulness. This new Avenger channels these very qualities.
The audacious yellow dial, Breitling’s signature colour, is enhanced by black subdials at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock. The second subdial at 9 o’clock takes centre stage, featuring a striking red cobra, its head raised and neck expanded, exemplifying strength and fearlessness. The chronograph hand, like a cobra’s sharp tongue, precisely captures the passing seconds.
Accented with vibrant red on the strap, hands and subdials, this watch is a bold statement. A fusion of yellow, black and red, it’s a venomous combination that leaves an unforgettable impression.
A menacing red serpent slithers across the open caseback, entwining itself within the intricate mechanisms of the Manufacture Caliber 01. This in-house movement, Breitling’s first, debuted in 2009 and has since set the industry standard for precision, reliability and functionality. With a 70-hour power reserve and a 5-year warranty, it’s a COSC-certified chronometer.
The limited edition inscription, “ONE OF 200,” is engraved on the caseback, adding to its exclusivity. The Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Cobra Limited Edition, set to be available in December 2024, is a venomous blend of style and performance.
