With the dawn of a new year, especially on the back of a tumultuous year, comes renewed hopes and aspirations. As Breitling presents its maiden novelty, the Avenger Automatic GMT 45 Night Mission Limited Edition, to mark the start of 2021, it shares the same message with a khaki green colour. The military-esque shade symbolises robust resilience.
Breitling’s Avenger collection originally debuted in 2001 but was later redesigned in 2019. The Avenger collection now stands proudly alongside its Breitling Air universe siblings — the inimitable Navitimer and contemporary Aviator 8. Men’s Folio interprets the Avenger collection as a sign of reinvention, one of the key attributes modern-day men should adopt as the world seeks to regain normalcy. How should one augment their qualities, adapt to new-norms and pivot their strengths are the same questions Breitling asked themselves when conceiving the Avenger Automatic GMT 45 Night Mission Limited Edition.
Having established its pedigree as a serious pilot watchmaker, the hallmarks of the Avenger Automatic GMT 45 Night Mission Limited Edition are distinct yet applicable to everyday life. Such is the popularity and pervasiveness of pilot watches that they are no longer confined within cockpits of supersonic jets.
A bold, robust and shock-resistant 45mm DLC-coated titanium case with 300m water resistance navigates both natural landscapes and concrete jungles with ease and comfort. Large Superluminova-coated numerals recalling stencilled numbers of aircraft carriers decks offer legibility in seemingly all conditions. A striking yellow GMT hand keeps track of a second-time zone useful for international meetings, while air travel is off the agenda for the time being. The Avenger’s iconic bezel design and knurled crowns remain easily operable during sweaty sports activities. A COSC-certified automatic Breitling Calibre 32 is the icing on the cake as it provides reliable accuracy even during wide temperature fluctuations.
The Avenger Automatic GMT 45 Night Mission case back is engraved with the words “ONE OF 2000,” an indication of its limited-edition status. The Avenger Automatic GMT 45 Night Mission Limited Edition will be available in all Breitling boutiques.
