The New Breitling Avenger Automatic GMT Watch in White

An instrument geared towards dyed-in-the-wool pilot watch fans, professional aviators and globetrotters... Meet the new Breitling Avenger GMT White watch.

Aviation watches are Breitling’s speciality. As it goes, there are a multitude of choices to be enjoyed throughout the Avenger watch collection, which joined the Navitimer and Aviator 8 series back in 2019 when the decision was made to revive its original 2001 design. There are sizes that range between 43 and 48mm, as well as GMT models, chronographs and Night Mission variations. Positioned right in the middle of the slightly reserved 43mm Avenger watches and the more confident 48mm is the Breitling Avenger Automatic GMT 45. It follows in the footsteps of the Breitling reference; A32395101C1A1 – a stainless steel and blue dialled option.

The Breitling Avenger, when it first launched back in 2001, resonated with professional and amateur pilots who appreciated Breitling’s daring approach to expert watch manufacture. The newer generation is resolutely powerful, bold and infused with plenty of stealth and stamina. Geared towards the tastes and needs of drone specialists and space explorers too, the new white dialled model represents a whole new field within the airborne instruments world.

Back in 2019 Breitling even assembled an Aviation Pioneers Squad to mark the release of the new reinvented models. The team comprised astronaut, Scott Kelly, commander of the Spanish Air Squad, Rocio Gonzalez Torres, and world champion drone pilot, Luke Bannister. Since the launch of the new collection, models like the Breitling Avenger Chronograph 45 and Chronograph 45 Night Mission proved popular for their sleek blue and green khaki respective dials, as well as their lightweight DLC-coated titanium cases. The Breitling Avenger Swiss Air Force Team Limited Edition watch bore the Swiss Air Force Team’s 55th-anniversary logo engraved on the caseback while the Avenger Automatic 45 Seawolf boasted a vibrant yellow dial. The Breitling Avenger GMT Watch offers the avid traveller a second time zone hand. Sportier models were also released, like the Breitling Avenger Chronograph 43 with a robust steel on steel design and an intense black dial. Those who preferred smaller dimensions would, of course, been attracted to the latter, along with the three-handed Breitling Avenger Automatic 43 model, yet the new Breitling Avenger Automatic GMT 45 in white is overall cleaner, crisper and more contemporary.

The new Breitling Avenger watch is incredibly shock resistant and comes in a robust stainless steel casing that measures a 45mm diameter. Whether frequently travelling or not, the Avenger watch proves itself an easily wearable companion for all of life’s tasks. Trek with it, bike and hike with it, swim with it or use it behind the control panel of the cockpit – the watch is underpinned by values of legibility and reliability first and foremost.

The sturdy 45mm steel model presents the time on a white dial emblazoned with the famous Breitling lettering. Its chiselled physique is tailored precisely to manipulate easily under pilot gloves. Ready to face any airborne task, the hour markers around the white dial are finished in a contrasting black shade and sandwiched together with a central strip of lume running through the middle. The Super-LumiNova treatment glows in a rich hue by night, enabling credentials to be read effortlessly in dark or light-limiting conditions. In the daytime, of course, these elements, together with the central hands are protected underneath a sheet of sapphire crystal glass. This remarkably hard material is not only scratch resistant but also treated with the brand’s anti-glare technology for a clear view into the dial at any given moment.

The new Breitling Avenger Automatic GMT watch is equipped with a second time zone, enabling you as the wearer to track both home time and local time simultaneously if you wish. Simply follow the striking red coloured central GMT hand with an arrow-shaped tip to keep on track of the additional time zone which points to a legible 24-hour scale around the periphery of the dial. The Breitling Avenger also comes with a clear and easily readable date aperture at 3 o’clock. Whether you’re donning a suit in the office or travelling in more casual attire, the date window is the first feature revealed from underneath a sleave if you’re a left-handed wearer. It’s a handy feature that will enable you to keep on track of the passing days of the month even when you don’t bring your planner along with you on your travels.

The Breitling Avenger Automatic GMT watch is powered by the Breitling 32 Calibre. This is based on the old reliable ETA 2893-2. It promises a 42-hour power reserve and a performance of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Additional features include 21 jewels and, of course, said 2nd time zone which makes travelling on business or leisure a breeze. The watch also features a unidirectional ratcheted bezel marked with a 60-minute scale. The cambered sapphire crystal glass front and Breitling logo-engraved crown at 3 o’clock complete the Avenger’s muscular physique, which sits closely against the wrist with an anthracite-coloured calfskin strap and a traditional tang-style buckle in matching stainless steel.
