Breitling Avenger Seawolf Chrono at BaselWorld 2008 Breitling introduces the very tough Avenger Seawolf Chrono at the BaselWorld 2008.

The Breitling Avenger Seawolf Chrono is the world's only chronograph to be both watertight and operational at a depth of 3,300 feet (1000 meters).

Whereas most chronographs cannot be activated while diving so as to prevent water seeping in through the pushpieces, Breitling has achieved a major technical breakthrough by developing the magnetic pushpiece principle, involving controls operated through the metal of the case and thus avoiding any direct contact between the pushpiece and the movement.
The sturdy steel case of the Breitling Avenger Seawolf Chrono is fitted with a decompression valve features alternating matt satin-brushed upper surfaces and polished sides – as does the rider-tab bezel.

The dials are adorned with large "stencil" type numerals, oversized hands and luminescent markers that remain clearly visible in the darkness of the ocean. The chronograph displays are both original and efficient, with an additional central sweep second hand for the minutes and a 1/10th of a second totalizer at 2 o'clock. The three registers feature a fine grid pattern that varies according to the angle at which the light strikes it.

In a nod to its aquatic vocation, the Avenger Seawolf Chrono has a special "yachting" graduation serving to count down the ten minutes prior to a regatta start. Like all Breitling electronic watches, this champion of the depths is equipped with an exclusive SuperQuartz movement, ten times more accurate than a standard quartz movement.
