Avenger Automatic 42 Night Mission

How it wears

Wears larger than its 42 mm case suggests

Breitling Avenger Automatic 42 Night Mission measures 51.21 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.22 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 91% of the 7,413 watches in this database and longer than 73% of the 298 Breitling watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 57 mm (2.24 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 69 mm (2.72 in) it starts to look compact. Below 51.21 mm (2.02 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
