Super Avenger

The Breitling Super Avenger is a statement piece within the brand’s aviation-inspired lineup, originally conceived to offer maximum wrist presence and utility for pilots needing a highly legible, durable chronograph. Its 48mm case and bold dial design make it a favorite among those who appreciate oversized tool watches, while its association with military squadrons and adventure professionals adds collector appeal. This model’s blend of function and attitude sets it apart from the more restrained Avenger II series.

Key references like the A13370 (first generation) and A13375 (updated version with subtle cosmetic tweaks) are most commonly seen on the secondary market. The Breitling 13 caliber (based on the Valjoux 7750) powers both, known for reliability and easy servicing. Expect price differences based on dial color, bezel configuration (stainless vs. black-coated), and bracelet vs. rubber strap — with limited editions or special military dials often commanding a premium.

When shopping for a Super Avenger, confirm the presence of original boxes and papers, as full sets boost value. Check for sharp case edges and intact AR coating on the sapphire crystal, as these watches are often worn hard. Water resistance is rated to 300m, so examples with recent pressure tests are worth seeking out if you plan to use it as intended. This is a watch that rewards buyers who appreciate bold proportions and proven Swiss chronograph engineering.
