Breitling Superocean Automatic 42MM Bronze & Green Dial Watch

The bronze case is back and better than ever. There’s something for everyone in the Breitling Superocean collection. Collectors will recognise the strong influence of the original Superocean Slow Motion, water sports enthusiasts will appreciate its technical features, and the style conscious will gravitate towards its day-to-night, beach-to-boardroom versatility. The 42MM Bronze model defines the classic dive watch. The Superocean was originally created by Breitling in 1957 to equip professional and military divers, but it immediately developed a following among leisure divers and watch enthusiasts. Built to last, it's created from satin-brushed and polished bronze (CUAL7SI2), which has a good resistance to corrosion and is less susceptible to staining. The mid-sized yet sturdy, round 42MM case is adorned by an eye-catching green dial, with mixed dot and baton hour indexes and three-hands, all set with a Super-LumiNova® coating to ensure outstanding underwater visibility. Featuring a bronze arrow second hand for diving, a black and bronze minute tracker surrounding the outer edge of the dial and finished with the iconic Breitling branding at the dial’s centre. Protection is ensured by the cambered, glare-proof sapphire crystal glass cover. The black ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel displays clearly visible, large numerals, a countdown of the last 15 dive-time minutes and a circle with a luminescent marker at 12 o’clock. The co-ordinating green silicone strap has a new, sportier appearance with a textured grip, and it fastens with a new-style folding clasp with micro-adjustment for a secure and comfortable fit, which is easy to wear over dive suits. Precision is ensured by a chronometer-certified self-winding Breitling 17 Calibre, with 26 jewels and 28,800 vibrations per hour and an impressive 38-hour power reserve. Shock, sand and saltwater-resistant, with a water resistance of 300M (1000ft), this watch triples the minimum requirement for a dive watch. It’s displayed within a Breitling presentation box, which is perfect for storing your timepiece or gifting to a loved one. The updated 2022 Breitling Superocean comes in four case sizes with a variety of case metals and vibrant dial options, many of which have never been offered on a Superocean watch before.
