Avenger II GMT Stainless Steel / Diamond / Volcano Black / Rubber

In Context

At 43 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. At 12.2 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 300 m is a professional diving rating, far past any demand a wrist is likely to make of it.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 42 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

A3239053.BC35.152S stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black dial with a stainless steel case. Beyond the time it carries a gmt.

The Breitling caliber 32 is essentially a COSC grade ETA caliber 2892-2 with a customized Breitling rotor. The 24 hour GMT hand sets independently. Unscrew crown and pull to position I, turning forward/clockwise will adjust the GMT hand by one hour increments. Turning the crown backwards/counter-clockwise will adjust the date. This is very convenient because you can adjust the GMT hand without hacking (stopping) the movement. For GMTs that require hacking the movement to adjust the GMT hand, it also requires readjusting the time.

116 other watches in the library run the Breitling Caliber 32.
