Is the Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 46 worth it?

If you want a large pilot chronograph with an in-house automatic movement and a long power reserve, it delivers on those points. If you have smaller wrists or want a dressier watch, its size and tool-watch look work against it.

How does it compare with the Avenger Chronograph 43?

This one is larger at 46 mm and uses Breitling's in-house Caliber 01, while the 43 mm Avenger chronographs are smaller and easier to wear. The 46 suits buyers who want more wrist presence and the in-house movement.

What is the power reserve?

About 70 hours on a full wind, so it keeps running through a weekend off the wrist.

Is the case titanium or steel?

The case is titanium, which keeps a 46 mm watch lighter than a steel equivalent would be.

What comes in the box?

Original box and papers are included.

Is it water resistant?

Yes, it is water resistant, though it is a pilot chronograph rather than a dive watch, so the bezel is for timing, not diving.

What reviewers say

Owners of the Avenger B01 Chronograph 46 tend to praise the in-house movement, the legible dial and the light feel of the titanium case for its size. The most common complaints are the sheer bulk on smaller wrists and the ease with which titanium picks up marks.

What people mention

Case sizeMixedOwners like the presence of the 46 mm case but many find it too large and tall for smaller wrists.
MovementPraisedThe in-house Caliber 01 and its roughly 70-hour reserve are the most-praised features.
Titanium finishCriticisedThe titanium case is light but picks up scratches and scuffs more readily than steel.
LegibilityPraisedThe black dial, bold hands and strong lume read clearly, as a pilot watch should.
ComfortMixedTitanium helps for its size, but the tall case can catch on cuffs and feel top-heavy.
