Introducing New Breitling Avenger Chronograph 44 Night Mission & Automatic 42 Red Arrows

Breitling is widely recognized as one of the top manufacturers of aviation watches and serves as the official supplier to the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows. Their history, which began in the 1930s, includes numerous significant moments in aviation history. This year is the team's 60th anniversary season and will see the return of the iconic nine-ship formation. To celebrate this occasion, Breitling introduces two new Avenger models, each featuring Red-Arrows-themed details.

Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Mission Red Arrows

The first watch to mark this occasion is the Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Mission Red Arrows, which features a 44mm black ceramic case with a thickness of 15.2mm and silver-colored titanium pushers and crown. The blue dial is protected by a cambered sapphire crystal with anti-glare coating on both sides. The dial includes black counters: a 30-minute chronograph at 3 o'clock, a 12-hour counter with a date window at 6 o'clock, and a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock, which displays the iconic "Diamond 9" formation.

Through the see-through caseback, you can view Breitling’s Manufacture Caliber 01, an automatic COSC-certified movement that operates at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers 70 hours of power reserve. The watch is limited to 160 pieces and comes with a blue calfskin leather strap with a titanium clasp and is priced at £7,950, equivalent to AED 37,200.
