Is it a pilot is it a diver? Meet the special UK only edition of Breitling’s enigmatic Avenger Seawolf, the only watch you’ll ever need if your plane ditches into the deep blue sea.
​
The first generation of Avenger Seawolves debuted in the early noughties, I forget exactly when but I know that I got in the action as soon as it became available and you know what I still have MINE – and I love it.
​
Breitling’s ASW is currently into its third perhaps even fourth generation but it’s a bold as ever, ever bit as robust and shock-resistant, it’s the World’s deepest diving aviator with up to 300 bars - 3.000m of water-resistance.
​
Like all Avengers it is equipped with a 120-clcick unidirectional diver’s bezel with its 4x signature rider tabs there to help facilitate manipulation by all sorts of fingers - bony, sausage-like, gloved or otherwise.
​
The Avenger Automatic 45 Seawolf UK Edition features a sturdy 45mm Stainless steel case, a matte black dial and a choice of either a Stainless steel link bracelet or black Breitling-embossed rubber with a Stainless steel folding clasp.
​
Power comes from a Breitling Cal. 17. This edition is only available in the UK and limited to just 350 pieces. MSRP is £3,700 (bracelet) or £3,550 (rubber).
​
So what’s different? Compared to the Avenger II Seawolf that is currently available in markets such as the US, this edition the red “Automatic” text.
​
Plus it comes with grey hands and markers; a simple white line frames its date rather than metal as well as further reduced dial text, so you could say that it’s a more paired version.
​

Below is the regular variant – compared to this UK edition it’s definitely a lot showier so personally (being from the UK) I am naturally drawn to the UK edition. How about you?
