My first Breitling?

[buddy13]

I would really want to add a 7750 powered diving Chrono to my small collection. I had a Sinn 203 and a UTS 600m. The Sinn was lovely, but the feel of the pushers was not what I expected, they used to wobble side to side slightly when unscrewed. The UTS was excellently built but was a bit too large and heavy on its OEM bracelet.

I love the Sinn 206, but I hate the display back. Especially for a dive watch with a non silicon escapement, I think it should be given better magnetic protection.

I must admit, that though I admire Breitling for building .very well put together, dependable watches, there is always some quirk with the design which I don't like.

It's either too blingy, too large or too flashy.

I am sure the Breitling 13 is superb. I liked the Superocean Chrono, but never found a gently used one and pushed the trigger and it seemed to be discontinued. Now, in the line up there is the Chrono Avenger 43 and I really like its no nonsense look and brushed bracelet + case.

Do you think it can be worn without overhang on a 6.5 inch wrist? I can't find any reviews youtube. What is your view of the watch both good/bad? Any owners wish to chime in with their experience? Thanks in advance!

Buy Chrono Avenger 43 in TI.

I have 7 inch wrist and 43 avenger in titanium. No issues. 7750 powered. Bulletproof. Lighter than steel and wears well.

Thanks for your reply

Will be hard to find a Mint gently used one since these are a few years old now I believe.

You are correct.
There is also new Ti avenger crono B01...more expensive and does not have that "7750 feel".
Or maybe go steel version+rubber strap+clasp.
