Breitling Avenger A17318101B1A1

The case measures 43mm across and 12.28mm 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 17 (base ETA 2824-2), COSC chronometer. Power reserve is 38 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.

Breitling produced this reference from 2019 to the present day. Production years matter when you are valuing one, because dial, bezel and bracelet details often changed inside a single reference run.

Only the leading block is decoded from documented sources. Position 1 = case material (A = steel bezel/case); positions 2-3 = caliber (17 - critically, there is NO leading 'B', so this is a third-party base movement, not an in-house Breitling manufacture caliber); position 4 = COSC (3 = COSC-certified chronometer). 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.
