Band: Steel Clasp: Steel Deployant Glass: Sapphire crystal Water Resistant: 30 Bar/300m (Not for Submersion due to pushers) 2017 was near the end of the “big watch” era. Cases regularly exceeding 47 mm were normal. This Breitling Super Avenger, at 48 mm in diameter and 17.73 mm deep, is a quarter-kilo chunk of polished 316L stainless steel. The ref. A1337111 has a lug-to-lug of 60.30 mm and a lug width of 24 mm. Pressure-resistant to 30 bar, the watch straddles the line between a pilot’s chronograph and a diver’s ballast. This rating makes the watch suitable for just about any aquatic activity with care and maintenance; however, even bumping the chronograph pushers while submerged can lead to a potentially costly overhaul. The black dial features a vertical layout with a running seconds subdial at 9, a 30-minute totaliser at 12, and a 12-hour totaliser at 6 o'clock in the classic 7750 configuration.

Surrounding the sapphire is a matte steel rotating bezel used to measure elapsed time. Used in conjunction with the chronograph (stopwatch), this Breitling allows the wearer to time two events simultaneously. The bezel features a large luminous…
