In the 1960s, Breitling designed a timepiece, the Slow Motion, specifically to meet the needs of scuba divers, creating a watch with clean lines, luminescent indexes, squared-off hands, and a high-contrast dial ring for maximum legibility in order to meet the divers' critical timing demands. The Breitling Superocean 42mm Green Dial Bronze Automatic Gents Watch N17375201L1S1 brings performance and style to all water-based activities.
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. The watch is water resistant to 300 m (1000 ft), as well as being shock-, sand- and saltwater-resistant.
The bronze version employs a corrosion-resistant alloy that will develop a beautiful patina over time, making the watch completely unique. Both strap options (rubber and metal bracelet) feature a folding clasp with adjustments up to 15 mm, making it perfect for beachwear. Its scratchproof ceramic bezel won't deteriorate, and the uni-directional/bi-directional bezel lock (on the 46mm) provides added safety. The Superocean is a versatile, nostalgic piece that fits any occasion - from surfing, to swimming, to nights out.
Broad hands and indexes coated in luminescent Super-LumiNova® allow for superior readability underwater. At 300 m (1000 ft) water resistance, this watch triples the minimum requirement for dive watches. 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 dive suits. Its scratch-proof ceramic-inlayed bezel means it 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. This watch is also shock-, sand- and saltwater-resistant. Its automatic Breitling Caliber 17 comes with a two-year warranty and approximate 38-hour power reserve.
