    Breitling Chrono Avenger 2007.

    Just got this beautiful lump of Breitling titanium.
    Apparently"vagabonds" watch a few years ago having searched for some history.
    Another movie watch worn in the film Blood Diamond by Leonardo DiCaprio in 2006,He wore it on a brown leather which imo looks rather nice.(Might try that look).
    The watch and bracelet are in very nice condition,unfortunately that can't be said for the cushion and inner covering of the box sadly.

    I wonder if Hayward could help re that.....Hello Haywood.

    Fantastic watch, I had one some years ago and loved it, big presence but light enough not to be intrusive. Enjoy!
    Cheers..

    I have the one with grey face and the non-slanted bracelet.

    Bought it off ebay, from a fella who I presume got it at a sale at a store. It had been worn for one evening and he decided it was too bulky for him. Got it in an open auction for £1,200 if memory serves and it came with all the trimmings including a new Breitling baseball type cap.

    I think he had been expecting a lot more in the auction.

    It's a big watch, but as mentioned- surprisingly light on the wrist.

    That does indeed look like my old watch which I picked up in 2008 or so and sold (IIRC) sometime in late 2020 or early 2021.

    The Chrono Avenger along with my MM300 and Damasko DC66 - were my "Holy Trinity" for many years. .

    There will be many, many pics of these all over the forum, assuming the hosting sites haven't deleted them by now.

    They're very nice. I had one a few years ago, it was probably a bit big for me (which might have been why I moved it on, can't remember now). Wore mine on brown leather a fair bit, it looked good. Very comfy for the size as well.

    Had one 5-6 years ago and loved it. Often thought about getting another. Chronos never really stick with me for some reason

    I had the M1 model, but same case I think? Another one for the "seller's remorse" category...

    I had an M1 for a while. One of the watches I’d wanted for years,but which turned out disappointing. Turned out to have a defective HEV which I got fixed at some expense before taking it near the water. Breitling wanted a fortune to service it and it was so thick I worried about banging it on doorframes. Lost a pusher on a chair back. So much unrequited love that I was glad to sell it.

    They're a handsome watch.

    Cheers,

    I’ve got an old one on the Pro1 bracelet. All titanium plus a brown strap for the Leo look.
    Great watch.

    I bought a genuine Breitling one. Who knows what the movie watch had but you’d assume it was a genuine one.
