Introducing the new Breitling UK Limited Edition Superocean Automatic 42 watch: a sporty sea watch with a 38-hour power reserve shock where performance meets style for all your water-based pursuits from diving to surfing and swimming. With the trademark incredible performance from Breitling, this range balances a sense of nostalgia and modernity.
The Breitling Superocean Legacy: A History of Excellence
The Superocean collection is one of Breitling's most iconic. In the 1960s, the new sport of scuba diving was all the rage. For divers, timing was everything and Breitling set out to give them the most clear-cut dive watch possible by eliminating any feature that didn't support their lifesaving needs underwater. This pared-down watch was named the Superocean Slow Motion. What remained were clean lines, chunky luminescent indexes, squared-off hands and a high-contrast dial ring, all aimed at maximum legibility. Practical, yes. But what people really fell in love with was the look.
With the new Superocean, Breitling retraces the Slow Motion's celebrated design codes, while adding modern features such as a scratch-proof ceramic-inlayed uni-directional bezel and brightly coloured dials to assist with speedy identification. This in turn allows the Superocean Automatic 42 range to be water resistant up to 30m (1,000ft). As a result, these latest additions of watches offer both cutting-edge technical and stylish design aesthetics, perfect for divers and those obsessed with the ocean.
Watch Features: Performance Meets Style
Broad hands and indexes are in a rainbow gradient of luminescent Super-LumiNova allowing for easy readability (and extra snazziness). The watch is resistant to 300m (1,000ft), as well as being shock, sand and saltwater-resistant. Best of all, this is no longer strictly a dive watch - surf with it, swim with it, hit the beach bar with it, and then wear it out to dinner. An all-day-by-the-beach timepiece! The Superocean perfectly balances the nostalgia of its heritage with a fresh new look.
