Personally, though; I love the styling, especially with the black, pretty sure it's PVD. As for them going into uncharted territory with it, I'll say this: all watch companies have to branch out to stay in fashion, Breitling is just trying to make itself stronger. I can honestly say, that I probably would never buy an avenger, there are options just as good, that still have swiss mechanisms, but are a few thousand dollars cheaper. The only thing that really has Breitling's name all over it with the super avenger is the name. <br /><br />Speaking of military style watches, there is a new brand surfacing in that area. They have decent swiss made, USA style military watches. They are MTM Special OPS if you'd like to look them up here's there web link: http://www.specialopswatch.com<br />Casio also has several military watches. There new Metal Twisted G-Shocks are all the rage now days. Casio is the number one supplier of watches to the military; people in the armed forces like them because they are easy to read, solar powered, and extremely resistant to shock. I was given one as a present a while back, says in the manual that it can resist over twelve Gs of gravitational force.<br /><br />Getting back to your original question; if I was looking for a military watch of the same caliber, I would go for a cheaper less... Breitling sort of watch.<br /><br />I would love it if you'd like to send in some pictures of your watch by e-mail so that I could review your it! The Montbrillant Datora is one of my all time favourites, it's up there with the Navitimer Cosmonaut, and the Breitling for Bentley models.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment/question, I'm sorry I was late in answering it but I've been a bit bogged down over the past couple of days. I'm always happy to give my opinion on Breitlings as they're one of my favourite swiss watch companies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07449801958853277901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1783536075819190628.post-39256811509401472712014-01-21T10:36:17.596-08:002014-01-21T10:36:17.596-08:00Great blog!

I think they've really surpassed themselves with some of their limited edition Transoceans. Here's a question for you: do you think they'll succeed with their new military edition avenger? Seems like they're entering unfamiliar grounds for Breitling... would love to read your thoughts on this.Alainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15541677960542797597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1783536075819190628.post-46734212844626690412014-01-16T14:58:31.299-08:002014-01-16T14:58:31.299-08:00Breitlings do not actually have altimeters, it'...Breitlings do not actually have altimeters, it's actually their slide rules that set them apart from other aviator watches.
