    I don't think the ability to operate the Chrono function underwater is unique; my old Seamaster had the same capability.

    Anyway, congratulations on the acquisition and get some photos up!

    hi taken from breitlingsource

    Chrono Avenger M1 is the only chronograph that is both water-resistant and operational at a depth of 1000 M. This unprecedented technical feat has been achieved by the principle of the magnetic puchpiece, a Breitling proprietary patented device enabling activation of chronograph controls that precludess any direct contact between the pushpiece and the movement. In other words, its control are operated through the metal of the case.

    :shock:

    Fair enough, operating at 1000m is pretty damn impressive!

    yes it had the full dive without safety equipment or the use of a net.

    had to release the hellium valve as well


    been playing with the regatta timer all day, no yachts in sunny manchester to race, and the guys on the ship canal wear less than impressed.


    :D
