TOUGH ENOUGH

If you can’t afford the time to go on (or don’t have the stomach for) flying expeditions

If you can’t afford the time to go on (or don’t have the stomach for) flying expeditions, you can at least enjoy it in spirit by strapping on the Breitling Avenger Bandit. The brand’s beefy line welcomes its third chronograph, this time in satin-brushed titanium for added utility – thanks to its lightness and lack of glare. At 45mm and just 100.65g in weight, this tool watch houses the COSC-certified automatic Breitling 13 calibre, which provides a 4Hz frequency, quarter-second chronograph, seconds subdial and date. These functions can be easily adjusted – even with gloves – thanks to the heavily textured crown and pushers, and will continue to run underwater even at a depth of 300m.
