## What the Dial Says About the Market
The A17328 comes in three dial options: Black, Blue, and Military Green. The green variant is the boldest of the three — and the most sought-after on the pre-owned market. Dealer asking prices for the Green Dial run roughly 8 to 12 percent above the black equivalent. It trades under names including Avenger Auto 42 Green, MY23 Avenger, and Avenger 42 Military Green, depending on who you ask.
## Calibre 17: Solid, No Surprises
The Calibre 17 beneath the caseback is COSC-certified, built on the ETA 2824-2, and rated to −4/+6 seconds per day. For the MY23 release, Breitling changed nothing about the Avenger's core concept — and there was no reason to. New retail in 2023 stood at around 3,700 euros; current pre-owned asking prices run between 2,600 and 3,100 euros, depending on box-and-papers status.
## Buying with Eyes Open
The Calibre 17 isn't a counterfeiter's target, but workshop tampering does occur: replacement crystal fitted without anti-reflective coating, wrong crown installed after a repair. Anyone spending more than 2,800 euros should have the movement checked for originality. The A17328's steel bezel — unidirectional, 60-minute scale — is also a frequently overlooked wear point on pre-owned examples.
Brand profile: Breitling
Breitling is known for aviation and dive watches. Chronographs (Navitimer, Chronomat) are the most frequently counterfeited. Pay close attention to slide rule details and COSC certification.
- Wing logo: a genuine Breitling logo shows the anchor and wing tips that NEVER touch — precise negative space between them — fakes let the tips meet or overlap
- 3D 'B' crown: the 'B' on the crown must appear three-dimensional with a light reflection on the curve — a flat 'B' = fake
- Bezel scale vs. dial: the outer white bezel scale must align precisely with the inner black dial indices — fakes show misalignment
- Date disc depth: a genuine Navitimer date disc sits flush with the dial plane — fakes show the date window as a 'crater' (noticeably sunken or raised)
Serial number format: Breitling serial numbers: alphanumeric, located between the lugs at 6 o'clock. Format: one letter + 8 digits (e.g. 'AB012012'). Older models: digits only.
