Does anyone have thickness measurements for the Avenger II GMT and the Avenger II Chrono? I've read through all the postings, but didn't see anything specific, other than a remark that it is closer to the Aerospace measurements.

sorry was not able to find anything off the Breitling site. i have not been excited about anything Breitling for a very long time, but this avenger 2 GMT looks great!

Had a gmt on today, that's very flat, 11mm max I'd guess, although I have no knowledge of the specific height. The Seawolf is just as massive as the old one. The SA II has much more pleasing dimensions than the old one, the massive back wall of the old model is gone.

Wow approximately 11 mm, that is interesting.

So the Avenger II GMT is thinner than a Omega PO (2500 movement), and definitely thinner than the Steelfish?

Wow, first real life A2 GMT I've seen. Thickness close to 11mm sounds quite interesting (anything in the 13mm range would be acceptable).

I've been also scouting for the A2 chrono thickness but can't come up with a definite spec. I should see one at the AD in a week or so. If anyone can come up with a number in the meantime, please let us know.

I've been told that avenger ii chrono us slightly thinner than last model at ~16mm.

The sales associate did not have the gmt ii but seemed to think that it was closer to the steelfish.

Hopefully we can get a better measurement from someone on the gmt II

Tried on the new avenger GMT last week which IMO has lost the breitling bulkiness(hope bulkiness is a word).
Also tried the new avenger chrono which was thinner than the old avenger chrono but was still IMO opinion
a very nice size.
Come on BUK get the new seawolf out so I can scratch my yellow dial itch.

Col.

Its very thin, body and bezel have about the same height each, the body is so slim the crown almost stands off top and bottom... Not by much. The caseback hardly domes out and the crystal isnt protruding too much either. It clearly doesnt have the avenger feel, but is a very nice piece on its own.

Fun fact: the pushbutton clasp on the rubber strap is almost as high on the sidenwalla as the watche's midcase and bezel together.

That's also the first one I've seen in the wild. I haven't even seen one in a store.

In a leap of faith, I ordered my Avenger II GMT a little over a week ago. The AD said it would take about four weeks. I hope I like it as much in person!
