This is quite a welcome addition - a 45mm version of the Avenger Hurricane. In-house movement, Breitlight, and a more sensible size.
I like it in a rugged toolish way.

Looks good. Still too big for me but nice. The thing i don't get is the caseback "with screws" which is probably the reason why it gets a rating of 100M water resistance. A diving bezel but you can't dive....what a waste. |

I tried on the 50mm version a few weeks ago in Phoenix and I was amazed at how comfortable it was, even at 50mm. I'd never think twice about buying a watch that size but with how light the case is, even at 50mm it seemed very wearable. I really like the idea of a black case watch, but I still don't think I could pull the trigger on one. If I ever were to make that leap, the 45mm version would probably be tops on my list next to one of the dark side of the moon versions. |

I like the return of the white stencil arabics and the dial color overall. Size would still be too large for me. One of these at 43mm and 14mm thick would be ideal. Still holding out for white arabics on the 43mm Navi. to come back,  .

Looking forward to seeing the yellow dial version in person. Have always wanted a yellow dial Breitling. |
