Crafted with stainless steel, the case offers a formidable water resistance of 300 meters and features a unidirectional, ratcheted bezel and a screw-locked crown with two gaskets. The cambered sapphire crystal, glareproofed on both sides, enhances durability.

Powering the watch is the Breitling 17 caliber, a self-winding mechanical movement with a 38-hour power reserve, 25 jewels, and a dial aperture for the calendar. Its vibrations reach 28,800 v.p.h. The dimensions include a 42.0 mm diameter, 12.1 mm thickness, and a lug-to-lug height of 51.2 mm. The watch-head weighs approximately 91.8 g.

The strap, available in green calfskin leather, complements the military-inspired aesthetic, attaching to the wrist with a straight lug design and a stainless steel folding clasp. The lug width is 22/20 mm. Notably, the Avenger emphasizes easy-grip functionality, corrosion-resistant construction, and an option of a three-row stainless-steel bracelet with a micro-adjustable folding clasp or a military leather strap with a folding-pin buckle. This timepiece seamlessly blends aviation-inspired style with durability, making it suitable for both professional use in challenging environments and as a stylish daily accessory.
