A new Breitling Avenger Seawolf chronograph is about to make its premiere at the Baselworld 2010. The new Breitling watch, called Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel, is said to be the only chronograph that is water resistant and fully operational at a depth of 1,000 meters.
Best characterized as robust and highly technical, the Blacksteel limited edition Breitling watch is distinct from other by its unusual look and its exceptional performance. Different from most of the luxury timepieces we know, the Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel is powered by a quartz movement instead of mechanical movement. The movement, called Caliber 73 or SuperQuartz, is COSC-certified and 10 times more accurate than standard quartz movements and its battery can last for 2-3 years.
Also worth noting is the brand’s exclusive, patented magnetic push-piece system concealed inside the 45mm case. The chronograph function can be activated while diving through the metal case without direct mechanical contact, which is quite a breakthrough in the dive watch field.
The dive watch is endowed with a range of practical functions: hours, minutes, seconds, date, split-seconds chronograph, and direction memory. There is a 12-hour chronograph counter at 10 o’clock, a 1/10-second counter at 2 o’clock and a date display at 4 o’clock.
Limited at 2000 pieces, the Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel is priced at around $5000. Although some says the quartz watch is not worth of such amount of money, many do agree the watch will easily capture a lot of attention for its tough look. If you would like to have the watch with identical appearance as Breitling watches without paying the high cost, replica Breitling Avenger Seawolf watches would be nice substitute.
