In 1884, in St Imier, a small town in Switzerland, Leon Breitling first opened his workshop to specialize in making chronographs and precision counters, hence the birth of the Breitling watch. Since then, Breitling has produced high quality watches, many specifically designed for pilots and aircrews.
The Breitling Superocean Range, commonly referred to as “King of the Seas†was developed in the 1950’s to assist military and professional divers. Today’s Superocean watches can be water proof up to an astounding 2000 meters and have become a firm favourites with both professional and leisure divers. Each Superocean model has superior technical qualities which have contributed to the Breitling watches’ reputation. All Breitling Superocean models are made with self-winding movement: chronometer-certified Breitling Calibre 17.
The Breitling Superocean Steelfish model is the model which can boast the astonishing 2000 meter water resistance. The Steelfish is a real departure from type, as the majority of Breitling watches have rather average water resistance; the designs influenced by aviation rather than the nautical. To make sure the pressure seal lives up to its name, the Breitling Steelfish is fitted with a security valve, ensuring the pressure is evenly balanced both inside and outside the watches case. The lines of the case are highlighted by the contrast of polished and satin-brushed surfaces and the elaborate dial is decked with circular hour markers and oversized hands, making reading the time even easier.
The Breitling Superocean Heritage model has recently been updated with the release of the Superocean Heritage Chronographe. As a tribute to the original model, the Heritage Chronographe version’s dial still carries the distinguished letter “B†in 18ct gold. The choice of wristbands for this model are one of the main talking points, as aside from the Sporting Ocean Racer rubber strap, (available in three different colours, matching the dial and bezel,) there is also the option of the popular Ocean Classic (or ‘Heritage’) woven steel bracelet. The Breitling Superocean Heritage Chronographe has a water resistance of up to 200 meters and comes highly recommended!
