BREITLING AVENGER SEAWOLF:
TEN THOUSAND FEET UNDER WATER
With the Avenger Seawolf, Breitling has accomplished another technical feat by producing a professional titanium diver's watch that is water-resistant to 3,000 meters (10,000 ft). Built on the sturdy Avenger paltform, the Seawolf is also a functional success, since its dimensions have been kept very reasonable and offer perfect ergonomics, despite the technical constraints imposed by the need to withstand pressures of 300 bars.
To achieve this, Breitling worked with titanium, a light, resistant and non-corrosive metal. In parallel, Breitling commissioned university researchers to perform numerical simulations in order to ensure perfect geometry for the case.
The Avenger Seawolf has a safety valve enabling it to balance the differences in pressure inside and outside the case. As soon as internal overpressure reaches approximately 3 bars, the valve automatically evacuates the helium built up during prolonged stays at great depths and thus avoids the case exploding.
