History

Breitling was founded in 1884 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, and built its reputation on precision aviation instrumentation, including onboard chronographs and cockpit instruments supplied to air forces across several countries throughout the 20th century. The Avenger line launched in 2001 as the more rugged, military-aviation-oriented proposition within the brand's tool-watch catalog.

This reference, the A17328101B1A1, belongs to the full redesign of the Avenger collection unveiled in 2023 (internally identified as 'MY23'), which updated the case architecture and overall finishing of the line while keeping its rugged tool-watch identity: a unidirectional bezel, a screw-locked crown with double gasket, and a screwed case back.

Caliber 17, automatic and chronometer-certified, delivers 38 hours of power reserve at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The 300-meter water resistance, generous for a watch not marketed as a dedicated dive tool, reflects the technical over-engineering philosophy typical of Breitling's tool-watch catalog.

[UNVERIFIED: we do not precisely confirm whether Caliber 17 is built on a modified Sellita SW200 architecture, a detail that circulates in market sources but that this entry does not independently verify].
