In the 1960s, Breitling created the Slow Motion watch to meet the needs of water-based activities including scuba diving. It had all the performance divers needed without nonessential features. Its clear-cut design featured clean lines, luminescent indexes, squared-off hands and a high-contrast dial ring for maximum visibility. This watch was the perfect balance of performance and style.
The practicality of the Superocean is clear. Yet, its aesthetic beauty captivated the public. This new timepiece reinterprets the popular design of the Slow Motion, with modern features, like a ceramic-inlayed bezel and colourful dials. Hands and indexes illuminated in Super-LumiNova® facilitate underwater reading. Waterproof up to 300m (1000 ft) and resistant to shock, sand, and saltwater, the bronze model utilizes a corrosion-resistant alloy that will develop a unique patina over time.
This Superocean watch features a folding clasp on the rubber and metal bracelet that adjusts up to 15 mm, making it ideal to wear over rash guards and wetsuits. The uni-directional or bi-directional scratch-proof ceramic bezel completes this watch that is perfect for diving, surfing, or even a night out. Its nostalgic heritage design is updated with a modern look that will never fade or wear.
