Anchored by a blackened steel case and matching leather strap, this replica avenger sb01472a black presents the Avenger platform in a fully stealth configuration. The SB01472A1B1X1 reference uses DLC-coated stainless steel at 45mm with a chronograph movement and a black dial that makes subdials and numerals emerge only under direct light. Breitling built this variant for maximum visual impact with minimum color variance, and every surface detail from the coated crown guards to the blackened pushers reinforces that commitment to a single-tone aesthetic.

Case & Movement Specs

• Case diameter: 45mm
• Case material: stainless steel with DLC black coating
• Dial: black with luminous numerals
• Crystal: sapphire with anti-reflective coating
• Bezel: unidirectional with rider tabs, DLC coated
• Movement: automatic chronograph
• Strap: black leather with folding clasp

DLC coating creates a harder surface than paint or PVD, resisting desk-diving scratches that normally reveal bare steel within months on coated watches. The matte-to-satin gradient across the case adds subtle dimension despite the monochromatic palette.

Caliber Breakdown

The chronograph module adds elapsed-time measurement to the standard automatic base, with pushers at two and four o’clock. On a black case, those pushers blend into the profile rather than punctuating it the way polished steel pushers do on standard Avengers. The folding clasp on the leather strap sits nearly flush against the underside, avoiding the bulk that deployment clasps on rubber straps can sometimes create. For contrast, set this against the A13381111B uncoated leather Avenger, which shares the 45mm chronograph layout in bare steel. The full range sits within the Avenger collection.

How It Compares

All-black watches sacrifice some legibility for visual cohesion, and this Avenger is no exception. Under low light, you read it by lume plots rather than printed markers. That trade-off appeals to a specific buyer who prioritizes the monochrome look over instant glanceability. The leather strap softens the tactical mood compared to the textile-strap black Avengers and makes the watch more appropriate with a dark blazer or leather jacket. This replica avenger sb01472a black delivers the stealth formula on leather for wrists that want the blacked-out Avenger without the military-issue strap.
