Superocean Automatic 36

Performance and style for all your aquatic activities.
In the 1960s, the new sport of scuba diving was all the rage. For divers, timekeeping was everything. So Breitling set out to give them the cleanest, most accurate dive watch possible by eliminating all the functions that didn’t meet their vital needs underwater. This sleek watch was called the Superocean Slow Motion. All that remained were the clean lines, thick indexes with luminescent coating, square hands, and a contrasting dial ring to maximize readability. Practical, yes. But what everyone loved most was the style.
The new Superocean retraces the famous aesthetic codes of Slow Motion by adding modern features, such as a scratch-resistant ceramic inlaid bezel and brightly colored dials. The large hands and indexes with a rainbow gradient of Super-LumiNova® luminescent coating facilitate readability underwater (for even more pleasure). The watch is water-resistant to 300 m (1000 ft) and is also shock, sand and salt water resistant. The bronze version is equipped with a special alloy with high corrosion resistance. However, a slight patina will appear over time and make the watch even more unique. The rubber strap has a folding clasp that allows micro-adjustments to the nearest 15 mm for easier wear with thermal tops and diving suits. For safety reasons, the bezel is unidirectional.
Better yet, it’s not just a dive watch anymore: with it you can surf, swim, have a drink at the beach bar and go out to dinner. The Superocean is the perfect balance between the nostalgia of its heritage and the freshness of its new look.
