| Post subject: | Chrono Avenger 69 USA??? | 
I have this watch, it is basically a Chrono Avenger 69 with a small american flag on the bottom left of the dial between the 7 and 8. I have not seen this watch anywhere on the net in a picture and no mention of it anywhere? It says limited edition 007/100 on the back. and it has a clear back. I have all the information that came with the watch (I believe I got it in 2003). There is no mention of what movement is in the watch. It is not automatic, (it might be superquartz) and in the 15 years I have had it, it has kept perfect time and I have never changed a battery. I have gone many months maybe even over a year without wearing it and it still keeps perfect time? Does anyone know anything about this watch, the movement, and what it might be worth???? Thanks  |

I've not seen the particular variant you mention, however Breitling have made many many different dial-logo-based LE's over the years, so in most cases they don't actually command a premium over a standard model, despite being an LE. Assuming it's basically a Chrono Avenger 69, just with a dial logo, the movement will be the B69 which is essentially a Piguet MecaQuartz 1271. The 1271 is a hybrid of a quartz base movement with a mechanical rattrapante complication. Quite an interesting movement for what it is, although it's not thermo-compensated, so it's not SuperQuartz. I'm amazed it's still running after 15 years with no battery change however, as the lifespan is usually around 4-5 years!

Have had two CA 69's in the past, one with the flag and one without. Both ran great and oddly enough, I never had to do a battery service on either one. Wish that I could get that F. Piguet movement in a titanium case CA...  |
