Brand: Breitling Model: Chrono Avenger Reference Number: E13360 Serial Number: 287412 Movement: Automatic Chronograph, Caliber 13 Dial: Clean dark grey dial with applied luminous Arabic numerals and contrasting white hands Case Size: 44 mm (excluding the crown) Case Material: Titanium Production Year: 2000s Condition: Good second hand condition with honest signs of wear consistent with titanium Dial and Hands The dark grey, almost black dial is in exceptional condition, presenting a clean and highly legible layout characteristic of Breitling's aviation instruments. It features bold, applied Arabic numerals filled with luminous material that has aged evenly. The white painted syringe-style hour and minute hands, along with the striking red-tipped chronograph seconds hand, remain crisp and well-preserved. Three recessed sub-dials at the 12, 6, and 9 o'clock positions feature a fine concentric snailing texture, adding depth to the display. The date aperture at 3 o'clock is framed in a crisp white border, maintaining the dial's sharp, high-contrast aesthetic. A close inspection reveals no spots, stains, or moisture damage, with all factory printing remaining fully intact and vibrant. Case and Crystal The formidable 44mm titanium case exhibits a purposeful, utilitarian matte finish. The signature Breitling unidirectional ratcheting bezel, complete with its iconic rider tabs at the quarter hours and a luminous pip at 12 o'clock, rotates as intended. The grid-textured screw-down crown and matching chronograph pushers showcase crisp machining and tactile grip. The case and bezel display honest signs of wear, with surface scuffs and light scratches typical of previously worn titanium, yet the overall geometry and lug profile remain strong and well-defined. The sapphire crystal, featuring an anti-reflective coating that casts a subtle blue hue under certain lighting, is well-preserved and protects the dial perfectly. The solid titanium caseback is deeply engraved with the reference E13360 and serial number 287412, remaining clearly legible alongside the Breitling logo and chronometer certification text. Movement Inside beats the robust Breitling Caliber 13, based on the legendary Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph architecture. The movement is beautifully finished with perlage on the base plates and features a cleanly engraved Breitling signed rotor noting its 25 jewels and Swiss manufacture. Close inspection of the mechanism shows clean surfaces and intact screw heads. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a second hand timepiece. The timegrapher results reflect an impressive +2 to +4 seconds per day with strong amplitude. Movement is in superb condition. Strap The watch is fitted with its original Breitling Professional titanium bracelet, clearly stamped with the Breitling 1884 logo on the robust folding clasp. The solid endlinks are correctly marked with the code 880E. The bracelet mirrors the case's matte finish and shows matching, honest surface wear and desk-diving marks consistent with regular use, while retaining excellent structural integrity. Condition Good second hand condition. This Chrono Avenger remains an attractive, highly functional tool watch. The dial and hands are remarkably clean and well-preserved, standing out as a highlight of the piece. The titanium case and bracelet show expected surface wear, light scuffs, and scratches typical of the material, but no deep gouges or structural damage. The movement is running exceptionally well, making this a ready-to-wear piece for any enthusiast. Dimensions Case Size: 44 mm (excluding the crown) Wrist Size: 17.5 cm Remarks The Breitling Chrono Avenger in titanium is highly regarded for its balance of massive wrist presence and lightweight comfort. The combination of the Valjoux 7750-based movement and the rugged titanium construction makes this an enduring favorite among collectors of military and aviation-themed chronographs.
