hiker01 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I feel so bad for the Purists in the midst!!! Black, robust and highly technical. The most remarkable feature of the Breitling Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel, its magnetic pushpiece system, is hidden inside its case. With this exclusive, patented device, the watch can be activated through the metal case without any direct mechanical contact. As most chronographs cannot be used when diving, this device means that the Avenger Seawolf Chrono is the only instrument of its kind that is totally water-resistant and functional to a record depth of 1,000 metres. Its SuperQuartz TM movement - another exclusive Breitling creation - guarantees a precision ten times greater than ordinary quartz movements; it measures times to 1/10 of a second and indicates intermediary times. Limited series of 2,000. Technical Specifications Movement Thermocompensated SuperQuartz TM, Breitling 73 calibre, COSC-certified Functions Hours, minutes, seconds, date, split-seconds chronograph, direction memory Case Steel with ultra-resistant carbon coating, 45.4 mm [censored] with compass card for memorising directions - above and below water Ratcheted unidirectional rotating bezel Convex sapphire crystal, anti-reflective coating on both sides Water-resistant to 1000 m Dial Volcano black Luminescent hourmarkers and hands 12-hour chronograph counter at 10 o'clock; 1/10-second counter at 2 o'clock Central direct-drive seconds-hand and split-seconds hand Date at 4 o'clock Bracelet/Strap Black Diver Pro rubber or Ocean Racer with holes S R Price: $5015 Read the PDF for more info!

Bike Mike Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Nothing special IMO. Just another BS version. Waiting for Breitling to do more with their B01 Movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki6 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have 2 Tags, one a rep, that count to 1/10th of a second. And have a Casio Waveceptor, the one used in the last Bourne movie, that can do the same and give me average lap times, itermediate laptimes and it updates it's self every night around 1am!

plaifender Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Sooo... the chrono pushers don't actually physically push in.. they're like touch sensisitive? I'm not sure I get the concept... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki6 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 So you can use the Chrono under water I guess!? Maybe they made for Fish Racing, they gamble on anything these day's?!? Sixx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Sooo... the chrono pushers don't actually physically push in.. they're like touch sensisitive? I'm not sure I get the concept... They push in, its just that they do not pass completely through the case like a conventional pusher. I believe they use magnets to accomplish this. The end result is that it is the only chrono that is fully functional at extreme depths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Sooo... the chrono pushers don't actually physically push in.. they're like touch sensisitive? I'm not sure I get the concept... There is a small powerful magnet inside each of the chrono pusher. When the pusher is pressed it moves the magnet closer to another magnet that is held inside of the case. This causes pressure against the chrono start/stop/reset circuits on the movement. Remember magnets repel each other when the same poles oppose one another. This repelling causes the added pressure needed to function the chrono when the pusher is depressed. Since there is no hole drilled through the case for a traditional chrono pusher to pass through, no water can get into the case during chrono usage.

thogaa Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Busy dial anyone? Five big ones for a battery operated watch? What the hell are they thinkin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hawkes Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Well.. I would prefer the avenger seawolf chrono as gen and as rep.. I wish the rep markers would rep that one.. ;( They could use the gen ETA movement or even the version that counts up to 30 mins instead of 12 hours. They use that on the TAG F1 reps..

hackR Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 @Thogaa --> i agree...looks like a Citizen Nighthawk or one of the many other complicated-i-want-to-look-cool department store chronos... i vote for a non-chrono simple arabic dial Seawolf Blacksteel...keep it simple and stealthy...OR strap with DLC deployment... but seriously, let me understand this concept...you are diving with a $5000 Breitling in depths of water up to 1000m...and you use the chronos for what?!...
