Superb performance for all your aquatic activities. In the 1960s, the new sport of scuba diving was all the rage. For divers, timekeeping was essential, so Breitling set out to offer them the cleanest and most accurate dive watch possible by eliminating all functions that didn't meet their vital underwater needs.
This sleek watch was dubbed the Superocean Slow Motion. All that remained were the clean lines, thick indexes with luminescent coating, square hands, and a contrasting dial ring to optimize readability. Practical, certainly. But what everyone loved most was the style.
The Superocean Automatic 46 Super Diver retraces the famous aesthetic codes of Slow Motion by adding modern features, such as a scratch-resistant matte ceramic inlaid bezel and camouflage-colored dials. The broad hands and indexes with Super-LumiNova® luminescent coating facilitate underwater readability.
The watch is water-resistant to 1000 m (3300 ft) and is also shock, sand, and salt water resistant. It also has other special features: its soft iron inner case provides protection against the effects of magnetic fields, while its bidirectional rotating bezel can be locked with a lock on the left side of the case.
Both strap options (rubber and titanium) feature a folding clasp that allows for micro-adjustments within 15mm for easier wear with thermal tops and wetsuits.
Better still, it's no longer just a dive watch: with it, you can surf, swim, have a drink at the beach bar, and go out for dinner. The Superocean is the perfect balance between the nostalgia of its heritage and the freshness of its new look.
