Breitling Avenger A13317101C1A1

The case measures 45mm across and 16.46mm thick. Case material: Stainless steel. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

Automatic, Breitling Caliber 13 (base ETA/Valjoux 7750), COSC. Power reserve is 48 hours.

It is rated to 300 meters, about 984 feet. That is a diving rating: it is built for scuba use, not just for getting wet. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

13 = Caliber 13, and a number in the 10-49 range denotes a mechanical movement; 3 = COSC chronometer certification. The trailing pairs encode dial then bracelet, so this long-form reference is fixed as the blue dial on the steel bracelet. Breitling does not publish this scheme. It is compiled from collector documentation and reads as a reliable guide rather than a manufacturer specification.. Reading the reference is the fastest way to confirm that a watch is what the seller says it is, before you get anywhere near the movement.
