The special edition of the Avenger Seawolf Chrono—the only chronograph watertight and fully functional to a depth of 1000m and carrying a reputation as the ultimate diving watch—interprets the watch in elegant black.

The steel case has been subjected to an ultra-resistant carbon-based treatment, as well as the unidirectional rotating bezel, the large screw-locked crown and non-slip pushpieces, and the dial base. This creates a striking contrast to the white luminescent hands and hour markers and red subdials.

According to Breitling, the Blacksteel's greatest feat is hidden inside its case, thanks to its magnetic pushpiece system. This Breitling-patented device serves to activate the controls through the metal of the case, without any direct mechanical contact. This means that, while most chronographs cannot be used when diving, the Avenger Seawolf Chrono is the only instrument of this type to be watertight and fully operational at a record depth of 1000m.

The Avenger Seawolf Chrono has been equipped with a decompression valve and a glareproofed sapphire crystal for optimal readability in all circumstances. Its SuperQuartz calibre—also exclusive to Breitling—ensures a level of accuracy ten times superior to that of standard quartz movements, enabling it to measure times to within 1/10th of a second complete with split-time indications. Other chronograph functions are 60-minute and 12-hour totalisers with split times (split-second hand) and a calendar located between four and five o'clock.

The Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel, issued in a 2000-piece worldwide limited edition, is available on a Diver Pro rubber strap or on a perforated Ocean Racer strap. For more information or to find a dealer, visit www.breitling .com
