Breitling Superocean Automatic 44 watch

Performance and style for all your water activities. In the 1960s, the new sport of scuba diving was all the rage. For divers, timekeeping was essential. Breitling therefore set out to offer them the clearest and most precise dive watch possible by eliminating every function that did not meet their vital needs underwater. This pared-back watch was called the Slow Motion. All that remained were clean lines, thick indexes with luminescent coating, square hands and a contrasting dial ring to optimise legibility. Practical, certainly. But what everyone loved above all was the style. The new Superocean traces the famous aesthetic codes of the Slow Motion while adding modern features, such as a ceramic-inlaid bezel and brightly coloured dials. The broad hands and indexes with Super-LumiNova® luminescent coating make for easy reading underwater. The watch is water-resistant to 300 m (1000 ft) and also resists shocks, sand and salt water. The bronze version is made from a special alloy with high corrosion resistance. However, a slight patina will appear over time and make the watch even more unique. Both strap options (rubber and metal) feature a folding clasp that allows micro-adjustments to within 15 mm for easier wear over rash vests and wetsuits. Its scratch-resistant ceramic-inlaid bezel fears neither wear nor fading. For safety reasons, the bezel is unidirectional on most sizes, but bidirectional and fitted with a patented lock on the 46 mm model. Better still, it is no longer just a dive watch: with it, you can surf, swim, head to the beach bar and then wear it to dinner. The Superocean is the perfect balance between the nostalgia of its heritage and the freshness of its new look.

The Breitling Superocean Heritage B20 Automatic 44 watch embodies sporty elegance with its unidirectional ceramic bezel and its vintage-inspired blue dial within the Superocean Heritage collection. Powered by the B20 manufacture calibre, COSC-certified and offering a 70-hour power reserve with 200 m water resistance, this piece guarantees reliability and prestige.Explore our Breitling catalogue to discover the quintessence of luxury watchmaking, or browse our selection of Breitling men's watches to find your next companion in adventure.
