Some pictures of the Breitling Superocean.
Breitling has changed significantly under the new leadership of Georges Kern.
Gone are the days of the macho-type,hugely oversized and bling-bling watches while existing model lines,like the Superocean,have been cleaned up.
The Superocean is a no-nonsense dive watch,build like a tank,with impeccable quality...and at a reasonable price point.
I went for the 44mm version with a 1000m WR rating. It wears very nicely due to it's short and curved lugs and with a height of less than 15mm.
The NATO is very nice and is made out of recycled nylon.
I do like the khaki/military green color which is a welcome alternative to all the usual black and blue dials.
Some nice details,like the yellow tip of the seconds hand.
This is a serious diver,so it has plenty of lume.
Overall a great offer from Breitling.If you can live (I can) with the ETA movement,then,quality wise, this is a serious alternative to the likes of Omega,Tudor,....
This will for sure be one of my favorites for the summer!
Thanks for looking,
Gerard

yup it’s an awesome watch
I owned the alternatives and at a fraction of the price these new super oceans are great!
The Breitling is somewhat more expensive than the Tudor BB.
But the Tudor BB with a WR rating of 200m is not really a good comparison with the 1000m WR rated Superocean. I was thinking more on the Tudor Pelagos (500 m WR) and the Omega Planet Ocean (600m WR) which are both more expensive than the Breitling. Your V...
Very nice. I agree their prices are very tempting and the guilt
isn't as bad when I explain to my other half. I think I may go for the Navitimer 1 black dial outer white with rose gold indexes next time. But I have to wait as I'm not sure if I'll go for the 38 or 41mm. Have to wait for the AD to open again or if I may...
The Breitling Premier is a great watch.
IMO one of the best modern chronographs. I have the Bentley version (obviously I like green dials…). ...
Classic dive look...but still very Breitling to me!
I still favor the PO 42MM from Omega for current divers but with 8500 movement and matte black bezel... I am of course bias because that is my favorite watch in my small collection! -D-
My first nice watch was a superocean chrono circa early 2000's on the fighter bracelet.. [nt]
later also had leather strap with deployment clasp.. wore it for about 13 years straight.. and 10 before servicing.. Superoceans are definitely tanks!! I miss her.. wish i didnt trade her in! ...
Congratulations, one serious looking diver. And I wouldn't put down their movements ......
I got my 2001 Chronoavenger partly because of a great review in WatchTime magazine. One thing they mentioned was it was the best regulated movement they tested. One day at a dealer they had a Zenith rep doing free timing checks. It was less than 1 second ...
