Breitling : Superocean Automatic 44

 

The Breitling Superocean Automatic 44 is not a watch, it is a daring companion that is made to take you through your adventure, exploration and day-to-day living. It builds upon the heritage of the Breitling 1957 Superocean, a watch that has put the standard of underwater horology back on its feet, combined with modern engineering that has made it capable of executing the highest level.

It measures 44mm which is just big enough. It does not seem overly large and yet is balanced well enough to be worn in any circumstances. Be it attached to your arm on a deep-sea plunge, on an excursion at the seashore, or on your way to a conference, the Automatic 44 fits in perfectly, with a style that is both as tough as iron and as smooth as polished coral.

On picking it up, you are instantly made to feel the calming bulk of the stainless steel, the fluidity of the unidirectional ceramic bezel and the clarity of the sapphire crystal. This is a watch that is not only a time piece, but one that gives one confidence in any situation.


Background: The Superocean Legacy

In 1957 Breitling introduced the Superocean, getting into the booming business of diving watches at the golden age of underwater exploration. The scuba diving was then taking over the imagination to the world and Breitling now took its airline competency to the sea. As compared to the utilitarian divers of the era, the Superocean was practical, fashionable, and all round.

This legacy is carried on today in the Superocean Automatic 44. It combines the technical functionality of a tool watch and the aesthetic of a luxury wristwatch because Breitling is both a producer of timetables and style icons.


Key Features: Robust, Stylish, and Functional

44mm Stainless Steel Case

The case is a statement of power. It is 44mm in size, which provides bold presence on the wrist without going into the oversized territory. It has smooth and shiny surfaces that reflect the light well and the stainless steel guarantees it is durable and resistant to corrosion.

Bold Dial Choices

The Automatic 44 comes in a very broad range of colours of the dial - timeless black and navy, adventurous orange, green or turquoise, so the wearer can either display their personality or remain modest. Largely spaced indices and wide luminous hands ensure readability under any circumstances.

Unidirectional Ceramic Bezel

The ceramic bezel is useful and sophisticated. It is also scratch-resistant and fades away to enable one to make accidental calculation errors when diving. Their grip is tactile thus easy to handle even when wet hands or gloves are used.

Swiss Automatic Movement

The watch has an automatic calibre that is Swiss made. It is self winding and sturdy and provides the accuracy that is dependable, so collectors are accustomed to in a mechanical watch.

Professional-Grade Water Resistance

The Superocean 44 has a rating of 300m (1,000ft) and is crafted to suit the professional diver, but provides comfort to the recreational wearer who requires assurance when using the watch.

Domed Sapphire Crystal

Both sides of the crystal are glareproofed so that the crystal remains clear even with a direct sun, or reflection underwater. The domed shape also gives it an old fashioned appeal.

Bracelet and Strap Options

The watch is served in the stainless steel bracelet that is guaranteed to last forever or the sporty matching coloured rubber strap. Both alternatives change the nature of the watch and it looks equally comfortable both at home and office.

Why Choose the Superocean Automatic 44?
