Breitling Superocean Automatic 42 is not only a product that will work in the ocean, it is also a timepiece that embraces the adventurous life of the modern day. It is 42mm in size and just fits the idea of having a professional ability to dive and conveniently suitable to be worn daily.
One puts it on your wrist and it makes you feel reassured and energized. The dulled and polished stainless steel creates an impression of durability, whereas a wide range of colourful dial and strap combinations provides a hint of liveliness. It is aggressive enough to get noticed, but it is balanced enough not to refuse to exit the diving board board to the boardroom.
The Superocean Automatic 42 can be described as an active and contemporary icon to those who require a watch that can endure the most adventurous escapades as well as manage their everyday lives.
Background: From 1957 to Today
Breitling Superocean has been in the market since 1957 when diving was becoming mainstream. This is what Breitling wanted to achieve the creation of a watch that was robust enough to be used by professionals and stylish enough to be worn every day. The ancient combination of functionality and shape has been the key to the contemporary collection of Superocean.
In the current Superocean Automatic range, this DNA is re-styled in the latest materials, lively colours and extreme water resistant. It is no longer just about diving, it is about living an active lifestyle, be it underwater, be it into the mountains, be it the city that you explore.
The 42mm size has been a favourite in the range since it represents all that Breitling had in mind that the Superocean needed to be: bold, reliable, and versatile.
Key Features: Modern Strength with Style
42mm Stainless Steel Case
The case is bold yet wearable. It is 42mm high that it provides presence on the wrist without being provocative, and the finishes are made in brushed and polished forms, which reflect the light in dynamic ways.
Dials Full of Personality
The Automatic 42 comes in a plethora of bright dial colours: traditional black and navy to be understated or bright orange, turquoise and green to be outspoken. The hands and the markers are oversized and the dials have luminous hands to ensure maximum visibility underwater.
Unidirectional Ceramic Bezel
The ceramic bezel is resistant to scratches as well as fading hence it can be used without wearing out. It is safe as a unidirectional mechanism that can be used to measure the time of a dive.
Swiss Automatic Movement
It has a Swiss automatic movement that provides reliable accuracy but has the mechanical feel of a self-powered watch.
Extreme Water Resistance
The watch is capable of withstanding 300 metres (1,000ft), or more, and thus it is a tool that is prepared to be used in professional diving.
Domed Sapphire Crystal
The domed profile of the glareproof sapphire crystal makes it look vintage whilst the crystal has guaranteed the crystal a perfect view in direct sunlight.
Strap and Bracelet Options
Combine it with a colour-coordinated rubber strap to make it look sporty or a stainless steel bracelet to add beauty to it. Both alternatives guarantee stability and comfort.
