Not expected to ever make a list of small and understated Breitling replica watches, the Avenger II Seawolf is an utter leviathan of a timepiece. Sporting a steel case measuring 45mm in diameter and with a height of 18.4mm, it is not going to be slipping under many shirt sleeves. Even so, its cleverly angled lugs mean that it hugs the wrist securely despite its bulk. However, its unbelievable water resistance of 3,000m tells you that it was clearly designed for another type of role completely.
On the dial, huge applied hour markers, either Arabic numerals or batons, keep it all really readable, with the hour and minute hands swamped with lume and a splash of bright red on the tip of the seconds hand for improved legibil ity. Power comes from the Breitling B17 – a reworking of the ETA 2824, quite possibly the most widely used third-party movement of them all. This is a watch we’re familiar with from replica Breitling: big, bold, built like a tank. A huge and massive power watch, nothing else offers so much power for money.
