Breitling Superocean Automatic 44mm A17376211C1A1

In the 1960s, scuba diving became fashionable; it was a new sport. For divers, timing is everything, and Breitling set out to offer them the clearest diver's watch possible, eliminating any features that would not save lives underwater.

This simplified clock was given the name "Slow Motion". It kept the clean lines, the beefy luminescent indexes, the square hands and the high-contrast dial ring, all aimed at offering maximum legibility.

Practical, yes. But what really fell in love with everyone was his appearance.

The new Superocean takes up the celebrated Slow Motion design codes, while adding modern elements such as a ceramic-inlaid bezel and vividly colored dials. Its large hands and indices in luminescent Super-LumiNova® allow easy legibility underwater.

The watch is water resistant to 300 m (1,000 ft), and is resistant to shock, sand, and salt water.

The bronze version uses a special alloy that offers excellent resistance to corrosion, but over time develops a subtle patina that makes the watch even more unique. Both strap options (rubber and metal bracelet) feature a butterfly clasp that allows for micro-adjustments of up to 15mm for ease of use over wetsuits and wetsuits.

Its scratch-proof ceramic inlaid bezel will never tarnish or discolor.

For added security, the bezel is unidirectional on most sizes and bidirectional with a patented lock on the 46mm model.

Best of all, it's not strictly a diver's watch anymore: you can surf, swim and hit the beach bar with it, then wear it to dinner.

Performance and style for all your water activities, the Breitling Superocean perfectly balances the nostalgia of its heritage with a fresh new look.
