The Super Avenger II Military has been issued in a 500 piece Limited Edition. It is distinguished by its screwed-down push piece guards and its large screw-down crown with B’ling’s signature non-slip cross hatched grip.

 

Its thick dual sided, anti-reflective treated domed Sapphire crystal, as well as its over-sized hands, hour-markers and numerals ensure optimum readability. Breitling describes its new Super Avenger Military Limited Series watch as “a concentrated blend of power, precision, and functionality.” The “power” part undoubtedly refers to the new watch’s case, which is made of steel covered with an ultra-resistant, carbon-based black coating. The “precision” and “functionality” most likely refer to the new Super Avenger’s COSC-certified chronometer movement, Caliber 22. with a non-reflective finish on the big, 48-mm case and a “volcano black” dial that echoes the case and features a 24-hour military time display with white Arabic numerals. The curved sapphire crystal above the dial has also been treated with glare-resistant coating. Further solidifying the model as a military watch is its “offroader” strap, made of a durable synthetic fabric similar to the type used by elite military units for special operations.

The Breitling Super Avenger Military is equipped with a 1/4-second chronograph, which has a fly back function and tallies 30 minutes and 12 hours on two subdials at 9 o’clock and 6 o’clock, respectively. The chronograph push-pieces are protected by two screwed-in push-piece guards and the crown is also screw-locked, with a non-slip grip. The large hands, hour markers, and numerals were designed for maximum legibility. The ratcheted bezel rotates in one direction, a useful feature for diving; the case is water-resistant to 300 meters (1,000 feet).
