Breitling has unveiled a striking new creation to commemorate the 75th anniversary of its esteemed retail partner, Ahmed Seddiqi. The Avenger Automatic 42 Night Mission – Seddiqi 75th Anniversary Edition is a limited run of just 75 pieces, embodying both the pioneering spirit of Swiss horology and the enduring legacy of Seddiqi’s role in shaping the region’s luxury watch landscape.
The commemorative edition stands out with a carbon black dial, accented by a ceramic case and bezel that speak to strength and precision. In tribute to the milestone, the numerals “7” and “5” appear in contrasting tones on the dial, a subtle nod to the anniversary year. The case back carries an engraving of Ahmed Seddiqi’s 75th anniversary logo, marking it as a true collector’s item for connoisseurs.
Aed Adwan, Managing Director of Breitling Middle East, described the timepiece as an embodiment of “strength, resilience, and a bold spirit,” qualities that reflect the long-standing partnership between the two maisons. Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi, CEO of Ahmed Seddiqi, echoed this sentiment, noting that the collaboration symbolizes a shared passion for horology and an enduring commitment to crafting milestone-worthy pieces.
At its heart, the watch carries the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 17 automatic movement, delivering up to 38 hours of power reserve. With a 42mm diameter, the model maintains all the robustness of the Avenger collection while offering wearability in a more compact form. Its bidirectional self-winding mechanism, glareproof sapphire crystal, and water resistance of up to 300 meters make it a formidable companion for both adventure and everyday elegance.
True to its aviation-inspired lineage, the Avenger Seddiqi 75th Anniversary Edition pairs technical resilience with refined design. Super-LumiNova® indexes and hands ensure visibility in low light, while the choice of black or sand-colored military leather straps adds versatility and a distinctly utilitarian flair. It is a watch created not only to endure but to inspire.
Collectors can discover this limited-edition model exclusively at Breitling’s Dubai Mall Fashion Avenue boutique and The Galleria, Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi, reinforcing the exclusivity and prestige of this collaboration. For Middle Eastern enthusiasts, it is an invitation to own a piece of horological history that bridges Swiss craftsmanship and regional legacy.
Founded in 1950, Ahmed Seddiqi has grown to become the region’s leading name in luxury watches and jewelry, curating over 100 brands across 50 locations. This anniversary edition is more than a timepiece—it is a celebration of the difference time makes, a fusion of two storied legacies, and a milestone for the Middle East’s watch culture.
