Hi All,

Do Breitling do a model that is in between face size of Evolution and Super Avenger?
I tried on the Avenger.Lovely watch but wow so big.
Secondly i currently have an 2007 Evolution and would also like to know is the gold on watch real or plated?
I have attached photo.
Cheers
Andrew

Breilting do loads of watches in between the 43.7mm Chronomat (Evo) and the 48.4mm Super Avenger. The Seawolf at 45.4mm, the Navitimer World at 46mm, the Avenger (previously called the Skyland) at 45mm, the Superocean Heritage at 46mm, the SOH Chrono at 46mm, to name a few.

Loads of thread on here regarding the gold elements. The crown and bracelet links are gold wrapped around a steel core for strength, so not solid gold gold, but much thicker than gold plate.

If you like the style of the Super Avenger and the Evolution, but want a size in between the 2...then the Avenger sounds like it is your best option. It looks like the SA, but is slightly smaller and has a polished bracelet.

andy G,
I was also in your situation. Love my Evo and wanted the Super Avenger but like you said "wow so big". As you can see by my signature, I went with the Avenger Seawolf. The smaller version of the Super Avenger while keeping the same look.

The Seawolf has a brushed bracelet...he is looking for a polished bracelet. Also, the standard Seawolf is not a chrono, so IMO it does not really look like the SA. The Avenger (or Skyland) is the closest option if he likes the SA, but is looking for something slightly smaller.

I guess I got wrapped around his beginning post and went straight to my situation with wanting the Super Avenger in Blacksteel but considered it too big. This is why I went with the Avenger Seawolf in Blacksteel. Obviously the Seawolf I went with doesn't have the stenciled numbers but it was the best match I could find.
