This watch is perfect for water activities, offering both performance and style. In the 1960s, scuba diving became a popular sport, and timing was crucial for safety. To cater to divers' needs, Breitling created the Slow Motion dive watch, which prioritized simplicity and readability underwater. The design featured clean lines, bold luminescent markers, squared hands, and a high-contrast dial ring. Today, the new Superocean watch honors the classic design of the Slow Motion while incorporating modern elements like a ceramic-inlayed bezel and vibrant dial colours. With its broad hands and luminescent Super-LumiNova® markers, this watch provides easy readability even in low light conditions. It is also highly water, shock, sand, and salt resistant, making it perfect for any water-based pursuit.
The bronze variant boasts exceptional corrosion resistance due to its special alloy, while also developing a subtle patina over time to enhance its uniqueness. Choose from two strap options (rubber or metal bracelet) with a folding clasp that allows for micro-adjustments up to 15 mm for comfortable wear over rashies and wetsuits. The scratch-proof ceramic bezel will remain unscathed throughout years of use. For added safety, the bezel is uni-directional on most sizes and bi-directional with a patented lock on the 46 mm. Plus, this watch is no longer just for diving – it's suitable for surfing, swimming, and even a night out. The Superocean perfectly balances its history with a modern twist.
