The new Breitling Avenger collection is badass

[@John-km9ju]

I love the 'old' Breitling winged logo that's on the 38mm Colt Ocean (circa 2000): SuperQuartz certified chronometer; 8-year battery; 500m WR w/heat seal technology (yes, you can wear it in the hot tub or shower); sapphire crystal w/AR Coatings and Super Luminova hands/markers. For 9 bills from an authorized dealer clearly one of the best watch values I've ever owned! But then I'm old school ...

[@9er..]

Thanks guys!! This was a good one. Always high quality production and presentation. Breitling is going places. Let’s hope enough of us get on the ride💪

[@marcusflack1523]

indeed

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Appreciate that ! Andrew

[@serifdincer208]

The green Avenger is stunning

[@michaelriera6277]

Love the Avenger. It looks macho and wears great on wrist. Also built like a tank.

[@wiseguy724]

The old logo had wings AND an anchor, and one could argue the B is reminiscent of the Bentley B. Land see and Air right there. If you have aero specific model lines like the aerospace and avenger, the wings suit them so much better

[@TheoSchulze-y5b]

Great point here in the anchor. He is factually incorrect a number of times in the video. Really rather unprofessional.

[@nayanshankar755]

very unexpected.... thought the brand was going down. but these new models look stunning. still looking forward to see more two tone pieces.

[@stevens1041]

The adjustable bracelet is a huge win. Can't wait to try one on, see how I like it.

[@j.m.4444]

Always a pleasure watching your videos.

[@marcusflack1523]

It’s our pleasure to bring them to you. 🎉

[@nicholasreed1192]

Not gonna lie, I miss the wing logo. Love the redesign, but the wing logo just feels right for the brand

[@simonstaley1866]

Bang on the money with these models - time+tide always promote stuff well. Love the channel

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Love our followers, thanks a lot 👊🏼

[@MarcosVenti]

Just tried on the Avenger yesterday. The movement and rotor are more decorated than the Chronomat. The Bezel feels almost identical to my submariner 116610. Less shiny and more brushed. The watch looks and feels phenomenal! it is large but fits just right on my 6 3/4 inch wrist. Love the manly bold design, it is more compact than expected. Definitely HUGE improvement over last gen. I encourage anyone to always try the watch and do no be mislead by watch reviewers who have not even tried the watch on or simply go by their opinion. Overall the Avenger feels and looks much more refined than the Chronomat with the polished bezel, also the bezel action is sooo much better!

[@marcusflack1523]

Now that is some very welcome insight my friend. More of it. You are very welcome in the comments. Kablam

[@philc1773]

Interesting you bring up the sub comparison. I think an Avenger with the b01 in it actually puts the sub In its place now. Rolex have a lot to think about.

[@MarcosVenti]

@@philc1773 The bezel action feels so much better than the Chronomat. I tried them both back to back. More crisp and solid, closest I have felt to my sub. Just waiting about a year to buy it either gray market or used at a discount 🫢

[@TheCdM1981]

Went and tried the 44mm night mission tonight and it wore so much smaller and better than the prior night mission. The 3mm lesser lug to lug and smaller 1mm case size and 2mm smaller in thickness vs last years night mission 45mm made a huge difference on the wrist. My only feeling is at over $9k I can’t help to feel Breitling out priced themselves with an Avenger. Even with the BO1 movement should an Avenger be over $9k and the same price as a Navitimer I don’t think so. But that’s just my opinion. It’s an extremely nice looking watch and a huge improvement to last years Avenger.

[@off-roadingcars]

I love this video and the style of this video. I wish you would do more

[@marcusflack1523]

that is indeed the plan

[@gianpakasa]

The logo decision is a big mistake. Next CEO will bring back the wings! Nice collection by the way.

[@marcusflack1523]

Nahhhhh I love that they lost the wings. They needed a change.

[@thegorn]

I love the wings. Went and bought a navitimer 43 - the last one the references with gold wings ❤

[@jonhettrick7969]

​@@marcusflack1523I don't like the loss of wings on this model, but other models it's okay to have the b logo

[@kevinp4305]

Great video Andrew. I have always been a Breitling fan. I had a SO Special a couple of years back.These new releases look great, but what kind of pulls me away from the brand is the pricing. The movement's are good, but not great and the power reserve has always been on the lower end compared to other brands. If I was going to spend between 5-7k on a watch it would be hard not to look at Omega or Tudor first. Breitling has definitely come a long way, but there are better options in this price range IMO.

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Chronometer certification is no slouch, but Kern is continuing to push things on the movement front 🙌

[@stephengarratt8027]

Like Tag Heuer, Brietling never appealed to me before. Now with clear definition and exciting new products they really are beautiful watches

[@Darren_Tay]

Bring back the wings and anchor.

[@mcody68]

Very nice. I had an Avenger Skyland about 15 years ago as my first real watch. It was as a beast. Sadly let it go as was too heavy and bulky but really like these new models. Will definitely be taking a look 🫡

[@marcusflack1523]

Nice one. Which one do you like the most?

[@mcody68]

I’m drawn the green chronograph and love that dual colour strap 💚💛combo. However the stealth black ceramic dial one is pretty bad ass. 🖤🖤

[@darrenc5563]

Breitling, to me, has become more appealing to the mass market. Some breitling “enthusiasts” might jot be thrilled with the changes but it sure has made me add 3 variations of the b01 to my collection in 2023.

[@scottlalonde2878]

Great video, thank you for sharing. The watches? Well, to my taste prefer the old pushers, the wings n anchor logo, and the colors while young and fresh, don't look tactical. I think they're wonderful, just not a fan of every change.

[@j.m.4444]

The Cearmic Version is stunning.

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Night Mission is a heavy hitter

[@MrSysadmin1975]

Removal of winged logo from aviation-related models is "...eh, wtf?" for me. Prices went south. The whole range is diluted by some irrelevant car-inspired (Breitling? Cars, other than Bentley?) or dress watches. Well, I'm not a Georges Kern, he knows better for sure, but for silly fan like me, Breitling loses their identity. I'm considering buying old Night Mission now, I'm fine with old Valjoux 7750 based movement. This "in-house" craze is a poor excuse to drive the prices up that high.

[@carattentat4944]

ABSOLUTELY TRUE !!

[@pschroeterps]

Truer words never been spoken. V17311 is where it's at for this type of watch.

[@seyerus]

And yet here they are, still selling cartloads. Maybe you should send them a letter, tell em what they’re doing wrong 😂

[@dukes70]

Chronos quite thick and too much $ for time only and GMT for ETA mvmt. Not knocking ETA but for $5K+ too much competition out there. Should have kept GMT at 42. Love the channel and AET!! 🎉🎉

[@jmarks005]

These new Avengers are great and IMO a significant step forward in terms of overall package. B01 movement, nice quick adjust clasp, refined dimensions...all great things. Having said that, I was fond of the wings and wish they would have retained that logo. Nonetheless, I think these are winners. Now they just need to get the B70 ironed out and bring back the Aerospace. Then they'll really be cooking. 😄

[@ClementRollin]

What is the name of the CEO ? 🤣 Not sure to like those new avengers. But need to see the them in person, cause i used to like the old one a lot but find the 43mm a bit large! Please M. kern, give us a 3 hand, 42 night mission, on rubber !

[@Spectrecontrol]

The 'green' dial is khaki, no ? It's the sand one for me - looks like it was made for the Aussie outback or beach. Love your work! 🙏

[@marcusflack1523]

Yes that sand color is awesome. Would be my pick as well.

[@Timeandtidewatches]

There’s normal green and sage / khaki

[@Iuckylukey]

What about the Aerospace? The titanium quartz movement pilots watch? Its apparently being discontinued. Maybe also to given the Kern treatment?

[@carattentat4944]

KERN KILLED BREITLING !!

[@YuryOv]

Finally!, nice looking logo on my favorite Breitling collection. The anchor one was a mess.

[@watcheswithabdullah]

Blancpain desperately need a Breitling style makeover to maken them feel fresh and new again!

[@marcusflack1523]

wholeheartedly agree with you on that one

[@hussi405]

Interesting point 🤔

[@KalidasRadhakrishnan]

Is that a 24 click or a 48 click Bezel on that GMT 44 (The one showing unto 24 hrs on the bezel)?

[@marshalllapenta7656]

[@dontspeak__5930]

do these hold they’re value

[@jonhettrick7969]

These models should have the wings on it. Not saying all breitlings have to have the wings but these models they messed them up because they don't have the wings on them. I don't like them without the wings on it. I was a huge breitling fan.

[@Timeandtidewatches]

You can’t have multiple logos though - given that the brand is now air, land and sea you can see the logic. Thanks for watching

[@Dr_LK]

Are your info cards out of focus?

[@marcusflack1523]

Nope. But if your watching on your phone. KZbin often defaults to a very low resolution to save bandwidth. If you change your quality settings. You will see it in all its 4K glory. Hope that helps.

Where can I get that Breitling Jacket?

[@Timeandtidewatches]

I got it at the Breitling Boutique - A

[@NsaneGunz]

@@Timeandtidewatches Thanks!

[@RedwoodAggie]

It was good to see these on video, thanks. I did get to see quite a few of them in person at my local Breitling boutique. These feel a bit more older Breitling to me, which means it doesn't drum up my interest all that much. I'm a fan of steel bezels and own an Explorer II, love models like the Speedy '57, etc. These just aren't doing it for me though. It just feels a bit too early 2000s for me. If you ask my teen, she'd happily tell you Y2K fashion and such is popular, but there probably aren't many kids being Breitling Avengers. I don't think they're bad, but just not for me. My only proper complaint is a caller GMT at those prices is patently ridiculous. Between Swatch group's flyer GMTs at affordable prices, the Miyota 9075, Tudor, and even high end micros at 1/4 the price for the same movement, it's an insult. On the other hand, the B01 movement in the chronographs is a welcome thing. I think we should get the 56hr SW300 based movements in the 3 handers as well. Even TAG Heuer started to rectify that with their 36mm Carreras offering a bit higher end movement than the slightly older 39mm 3 hand Carreras. There's a new bar and manufacturers need to get on board with reality.

[@marcusflack1523]

Mate, that is some very thoughtful feedback. Thanks heaps for sharing. You make some very interresting observations.

[@MarcosVenti]

Breitling is working on in house movements but totally agree, the non flyer gmt feels utterly expensive for the movement.

[@sharafneelam]

Just curious, anyone know why their movements are at 38 hours. I know the b01 is at 70 but that’s the chronograph why is their entry models with the little power reserves and big cases. It’s abit like even if you wanna get 1 you have to think twice. If it was 50 or even 60 hours maybe be different. But yeah just odd.

[@baze3SC]

Easy answer, their 3-hand movements are essentially COSC-grade ETA 2824. They sell some 3-hand models with Tudor movement but that one is thicker and it would compromise the design of the watch. Breitling desperately needs their own 3-hand movement with bigger power reserve.

[@gautam9]

When wearing these the straps turn down from the lug and the sharp corners stick out

[@AH-mj1rd]

Need the 48mm

[@coolgabe64]

I want that jacket too besides my new yellow Avenger.

Where do you get the Breitling clothing from? Do we get it in the UK?

[@Timeandtidewatches]

From the boutique 👌🏻

[@dextorkenji]

The Breitling Avenger GMT version is so beautiful until I check the price :D

[@thegorn]

I like Breitling’s makeover. I just don’t particularly like their watch designs. I’ll never buy another watch with AR coatings on the top of the crystal, after my Planet Ocean scraped on some metal and made a mess of the AR coating. This limits me to Rolex, Tudor and a bunch of microbrands. Every time I see that Breitling blue AR in the video I wince. BTW “George Kern” was mentioned six times in this video.

[@Hounslowestbrap]

I've worn my avenger with the blue coating to work for the last 4 years. Never take it off and work in construction and not 1 scratch on the glass

[@BrianValta]

I have managed an Omega AD and currently manage a Breitling AD. I have a Planet Ocean chrono and I’ve had a few other POs in the past. My favourite Omega line hands down. I have also owned more than a few Breitlings and currently have a couple. I can safely say that the Omega AR coating has driven me crazy and has cost me a lot of money in redundant crystal replacements, and it indeed feels easy to scratch. My current PO has a grey matt dial so it doesnt show much at least. I can confirm however that Breitling’s AR somehow does not have these issues. Don’t ask me why, I just never experienced the same easy scratch issues with their AR and I wear and treat then the same as the Omegas.

[@hillbillyartscrafts4367]

Love the new model but definitely overpriced I will wait to find a good used one

[@jonhettrick7969]

The pilot watches, air part of the collection. Should have the wing logo on. Not the best move to remove them. The in-house movement is not worth paying the price. I'll stick to the older models.

[@drdavidfoo6632]

38 hour power reserve is way too short for a watch made in 2022

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Fair shout - chronometer cert is key, but PR could be improved - Kern has upgrading movements in his sights, interview coming soon.

[@adammcneill1666]

Definitely love the direction Breitling are taking, however, they are still chunky monkeys. They need to work on the thickness of pretty much all their models

[@Soulheads-yy3zq]

Breitling is to horology what Techno is to music.

[@orangedan5424]

Is the Avenger made for HULK? Damn....15.1mm thick. Why can't they make the avenger for Bruce Banner instead 😢...

[@colingill47]

It’s thin compared to the old 45

[@orangedan5424]

@colingill47 not thin enough...I have the super chronomat with the same b01, and it's only 13.6 even the premier line top at 14. I am sure it's possible to trim at least a good 1mm. Anyway...despite all these I think the black ceramic do look really good 👍

[@Mandaunusantara]

No no nooo bring back the wing & anchor logo for aviation model! I dont like new navitimer due to it doesnt have old legendary winged logo on it

[@carattentat4944]

[@youwebz]

@@Timeandtidewatches thanks for the reply Andrew - I should’ve qualified my remarks better but I was pushed for time. I was referencing the aviation industry. There has been a marked move away from Breitling for Pilots, I am currently planning on a new work watch. My company (you would know which Aussie one I am talking about) even has in the past had custom Breitlings produced - but the last ‘options’ were not well received at all by crew. I appreciate that they have diversified and been successful, but if you look at their core aviation / Pilot references, it has become in my and other Pilots’ opinions very stale. I am more than happy to be proven wrong, as I have lusted after Breitlings for many years, but IWC and even Apple (unbelievably) have taken some of their market. Thanks again for replying, keep up the bloody excellent content. Huge fan here. Will have a look at the Breitling Regent St store in a few weeks when there next. Cheers mate 🍻
