Breitling Superocean Automatic 42, For Him Exclusive, UK Limited Editions. The ultimate sea watch. Performance and style for all your water-based pursuits—now in a special online exclusive with blue dial. 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 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. The new Superocean retraces the Slow Motion's celebrated design codes, while adding modern features, like a ceramic-inlayed bezel and brightly colored dials. Broad hands and indexes in luminescent Super-LumiNova® allow for easy readability underwater. This special Breitling online exclusive features an eye-catching yellow dial. It’s water resistant to 300 m (1000 ft), as well as being shock-, sand- and saltwater-resistant. The two strap options (rubber and metal bracelet) have a folding clasp that allows for micro-adjustments of up to 15 mm for easy wear over rashies and wetsuits. Its scratch-proof ceramic inlayed bezel will never wear or fade. For safety, the bezel is uni-directional on most sizes and bi-directional with a patented lock on the 46 mm. Best of all, this is no longer strictly a dive watch—surf with it, swim with it, hit the beach bar with it, then wear it out to dinner. The Superocean perfectly balances the nostalgia of its heritage with a fresh new look. Verified details include bracelet material of Rubber, brand collections of Superocean, dial colour of Blue, diameter of 42mm, guarantee of Breitling 2 Year Guarantee and movement of Automatic. Available colours: Blue.
