Breitling : Superocean Automatic 36

 

The Breitling Superocean Automatic 36 is evidence that you do not have to be excessive to be powerful. It is a watch that competes well at the crossroads between performance and sophistication with its 36mm of stainless steel, professional-grade 300m waterproofing, and the colourful flair of the coloured dial and straps.

This is the model targeting the people who simply love the ocean in general but want a smaller, more balanced case size something that can be worn in the city and at the same time can undergo underwater activities fully. The first thing to do is to put it on your wrist, and you can immediately feel the comfort of its small size, the support of its durable construction, and the blissful cheerfulness of its dial choices.

The Automatic 36 is not just a watch, it is an identity, a watch that fits easily into the wearer.


Background: A Superocean for Every Wrist

In 1957, Breitling released the Superocean, when the sport of diving was moving out of the military and professional sphere to recreational sport. Most of the divers at the time were heavy, basically utilitarian devices. Breitling made a different choice that is, creating a watch that is functionally professional with a unique style.

The Superocean has grown out in the past decades to be one of the most versatile families by Breitling. Although we have bigger models such as the 42mm, 44mm, 46mm to suit users who like to use oversized cases, the Automatic 36 has been designed to welcome more users who like small sizes but not the technical features.

It is also a tribute to inclusivity but also an exaltation of the fact that even serious tool watches can be elegant to wear and versatile.


Key Features: Compact Dimensions, Full Capability

36mm Stainless Steel Case

This one is one of the most user-friendly models in the Superocean brand, given its small 36mm case. Its polished and brushed stainless steel surfaces strike a balance between toughness and a sophisticated look and it is as stylish in real life as it is practical at sea.

Colourful and Expressive Dials

The diversity of the dial colours is one of the characteristics of the Automatic 36. Homely navy or white will be appealing to people who want traditionalism, whereas turquoise and other colorful options can add a sense of fun. Each dial has very large hands and bright indicators, and it is clear even in darkness or in the ocean.

Unidirectional Ceramic Bezel

The ceramic bezel is a combination of professional use and beauty. It is resistant to scratches, fades, and can be turned counter-clockwise exclusively, making it a precaution to divers in a time constraint when it comes to oxygen supply. It is well polished and reflects the light.

Swiss Automatic Movement

Within there is a Swiss-made automatic calibre, which provides mechanical accuracy by the movement of the wrist. The reliability and the craftsmanship which has ensured that it continues to beat many years on are appreciated by the collectors.

Professional Water Resistance

Although it is a small watch, the Automatic 36 is rated to 300m (1,000ft) waterproof, which is more than sufficient to take it to recreational diving, water sports, and daily adventures.

Domed Sapphire Crystal

Both sides of the dial are glareproofed in sapphire crystal, which makes the dial unaffected in any condition. The domey shape alludes lightly to the old fashioned divers of the 1950s.

Versatile Strap Options

Automatic 36 is available with a stainless steel bracelet that lasts forever or rubber counterpart of the dial that is more sporty in appearance. Both alternatives increase the versatility of the watch with regards to various lifestyles.
