Breitling and Cathay Pacific Launch Limited Avenger GMT
Breitling and Cathay Pacific have released a 300-piece limited edition Avenger GMT watch to mark the airline's 80th anniversary.
Breitling has partnered with Cathay Pacific to launch a limited edition watch celebrating the Hong Kong airline's 80th anniversary. The Avenger Automatic GMT 44 Cathay Pacific 80th Anniversary Edition is strictly limited to 300 pieces globally.
The collaboration merges Breitling's aviation heritage with Cathay Pacific's travel legacy. The watch is defined by its distinctive dial color and airline branding.
Design and Specifications
The 44mm stainless steel case is 12.05mm thick and offers 300 meters of water resistance. It features a bidirectional bezel with 24-hour markings, rider tabs to protect the crystal, and a ridged screw-down crown designed for use with gloves.
The dial is executed in Cathay Pacific's signature Jade Green, described by the source as a turquoise green. The airline's iconic Brushwing logo is applied above the 6 o'clock position. A high-contrast red GMT hand works with the bezel and rehaut for tracking a second time zone. A date window is positioned at 3 o'clock.
