Breitling Middle East has announced the release of a new limited-edition timepiece dedicated to the 75th anniversary of its longstanding retail partner Ahmed Seddiqi. Limited to just 75 pieces, Avenger Automatic 42 Night Mission – Seddiqi 75th Anniversary Edition features the Ahmed Seddiqi 75th anniversary logo.
The Avenger Automatic 42 Night Mission features a carbon black dial with a case and bezel constructed entirely of scratch-resistant ceramic. Highlighting the celebratory nature of the limited edition, this watch emphasizes the numbers ‘7’ and ‘5’ on the dial in a contrasting shade, subtly nodding to the 75th anniversary milestone. The case back features a custom engraving of the Ahmed Seddiqi 75th anniversary logo in light of this occasion.
Aed Adwan, Managing Director of Breitling Middle East, commented: “We’re delighted to release the new Seddiqi 75th anniversary limited edition from one of most iconic collections, the Avenger. This exceptional timepiece embodies strength, resilience and a bold spirit, which reflects our enduring relationship with our esteemed retail partner Ahmed Seddiqi.”
“It’s been an incredible experience designing this limited edition with Breitling, a brand that has been a long-standing partner of Ahmed Seddiqi. As we commemorate our 75th anniversary, this collaboration symbolises our commitment towards engaging with the community over our shared passion for horology and creating exceptional timepieces to highlight special milestones,” said Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi, CEO of Ahmed Seddiqi.
Breitling’s Avenger has been at the forefront of airborne adventure for over two decades. But you don’t need air force credentials to appreciate its bold design, exceptional resilience and next- level functionality. The Avenger Automatic 42 Night Mission has all the robustness of its larger counterparts in a trimmer 42 mm diameter. Its engine is the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 17 automatic three-hand movement, delivering up to 38 hours of power with a two-year warranty.
Available in black and sand-colored military leather straps, this collector’s edition is available exclusively at Breitling Dubai Mall Fashion Avenue and The Galleria, Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi.
