Breitling Superocean Watches
As the logo of wings suggests, conquering the skies is just a piece of cake for the famous watchmaker Breitling. So in 1957, the company featured the launch of the original Superocean to mark its march for the sea. Equipped with a highly readable dial, armored glass, and a monohull case watertight to 200 meters or 660 feet, the first Superocean was originally designed for professional and military divers, and soon highly sought-after among enthusiasts and leisure divers. The legendary collection has been recently enriched with the newest Superocean featuring an entirely new design, which was released at BaselWorld 2010 two week ago.
The company’s new brainchild is constructed around an automatic winding Breitling Caliber 17 with a date display at 3 o’clock. Like all other watches from Breitling, this movement is also officially chronometer certified by COSC. Beating at 28,800 vph with 25 jewels, it offers an adorable power reserve of 98 hours.
The heart of the novel Superocean watch is housed in a 42mm stainless steel case. With the water-resistance to 1500 meters or 5000 feet. the model boasts some gorgeous dive-specific features, including a screw lock crown, helium escape valve, unidirectional rubber-molded ratcheted bezel, and a thick, cambered sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides. Oversized numbers, hour markers and hands with Superluminova provide perfect legibility in any light conditions.
As a highly distinctive touch to the new Superocean, the inner bezel rings are made in different colors: black, white, red, blue and yellow. We can find that the ring’s color also appears in the arrow-shaped tip of the seconds hand. The watch is coupled with several strap options: a Diver Pro or Ocean Racer rubber straps with a tang, a Diver Pro or Ocean Racer rubber straps with a deployment, and a steel Professional bracelet. The model with the first option goes for $2695. The second costs $2995, and the third is priced at $3085.
