Breitling Avenger Automatic Red Arrows Steel & Blue Dial 42MM Watch

We’re excited to announce the launch of the new Avenger Automatic 42 Red Arrows Edition, brought to you from the watch experts at Breitling. The new debut continues Breitling’s series of exclusive collaborations with the Royal Air Force, as the only luxury watch brand granted permission to feature the distinctive emblems of its celebrated aerobatic team. Their historical partnership dates from the 1930s, when the brand’s precision on board chronographs were supplied to RAF to ensure precise calculations of distance and fuel during the most challenging flying conditions. The design brings together Breitling’s greatest strengths in military pilot watches - innovative technology and design efficiency, a robust steel case, and a sleek retro aesthetic - for all round wearability. With its brand-new, perfectly proportioned 42MM case, the Breitling Avenger Automatic 42 stands out with its very practical functions and strong colour scheme. Strategically crafted from satin-brushed stainless steel, the smallest case ever – the 42MM – features a vibrant blue dial offering optimal legibility, adorned with baton hour indexes and steel hands coated with Super-LumiNova, for high visibility in dark climates. A slim, red-tipped second hand brings a touch of vibrancy, a second and minute counter surrounds the outer edge of the dial and a date aperture at the 3 o'clock position keeps you punctual in your everyday life. Finished with the iconic Breitling branding and protected with a glare-proof, cambered sapphire crystal glass cover. The complementing unidirectional rotating bezel has aviation-inspired, stencil numerals, lending a technical and original touch of style. The special grip-pattern on the crown means it can be easily operated wearing gloves. The chronometer-certified, self-winding Breitling 17 calibre is protected by an ultra-sturdy steel case which is water-resistant up to 300M, and the timepiece comes with a two-year brand warranty. Powered by 25 jewels and beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, it has an impressive power reserve of 38 hours. The co-ordinating steel three-link bracelet secures to the wrist with a folding clasp fastening, for the ultimate comfort and easy release. Designed to make a statement, this Swiss-made timepiece has a perfect balance to the shape and volume, making it ideal for both work and weekends. Hugh Rice are an official Breitling stockist and all watches come with brand packaging, which is ideal for protecting your watch, or gifting to a loved one. A model of reliability, efficiency, and outstanding ergonomics, the Avenger Automatic 42 Red Arrows Edition is the perfect timepiece for when you’re on the move.
