Bar Indices Lend the Face a Sharper Impression
Breitling's "Superocean" series was developed in 1957 for professional and military divers, particularly special forces. Since then, it has undergone continuous evolution, achieving remarkable water resistance, a refined appearance with high legibility, and excellent wearability. It is highly regarded by recreational divers and watch enthusiasts alike, and widely supported by those who enjoy an active lifestyle.
With its clean, sporty design and impeccable performance, the "Superocean" offers exceptional reliability on any wrist and in any environment. At its heart lies the Breitling Caliber 17, with approximately 38 hours of power reserve. The numerals, indices, and hands are coated with Super-LumiNova® luminescent material, ensuring excellent legibility in all conditions.
The latest addition to this series, the "Superocean Automatic 42 Japan Edition," is a Japan-exclusive model that adopts a black dial and a 42mm case, and for the first time in the current collection, features all bar-type indices. The simple and clean bar index face brings a sharper impression, making it ideal not only for active scenes but also for business settings. The stainless steel case is equipped with a ratcheted unidirectional rotating bezel and boasts a water resistance of 500 meters.
