The ocean is calling

This next-generation Breitling Superocean diver revisits the distinctive, pared-down aesthetic of the original SuperOcean Slow Motion chronograph from the 1960s and 1970s, yielding a highly technical tool watch that marries a fully modern and thoughtfully engineered case design with just the right amount of nostalgia. 

Water-resistant to 300 m (1000 ft), this new three-handed design is characterized by broad hands and oversized hourly indexes coated liberally in multi-colored Super-LumiNova® creating a spectacular "rainbow" effect while still allowing for exceptional readability underwater. Its uni-directional rotating dive bezel is topped with a scratchproof ceramic insert designed to resist wear and fading from sunlight exposure. 

Best of all, the Slow Motion’s distinctive square minute hand has made a comeback. So has the high-contrast minute scale. Vintage dive watch fans will also remember “the dot,” a circular window at 6 o’clock that displayed different colors depending on whether the minutes-based chronograph was engaged, paused, or off. In the new Superocean, a circle near the tip of the second hand gives a wink to that much-loved detail.
