Owners report accuracy ranging from +1/+2 seconds per day to about -6 seconds per day, and some express reservations about the 42-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Breitling Avenger Automatic highly for its bold, bombproof design and versatile aesthetic.

Certina DS Action Day Date Powermatic 80
