Product Overview

The Breitling Superocean Black Watch, 42mm, is a high-performance dive timepiece engineered for serious water sports enthusiasts and professional divers. Built to exceed standard dive watch requirements, it delivers exceptional durability, precision, and legibility in demanding underwater environments.

Key Features

• Superior Underwater Readability: Broad hands and large indexes are coated with Super LumiNova luminescent material, ensuring clear visibility in low-light and deep-water conditions where light penetration is limited. This feature is critical for divers who need to monitor time and decompression stops without hesitation, even in murky or dark underwater environments.
• 300m Water Resistance: Rated for depths up to 300 meters (1000 feet), this watch triples the standard requirement for dive watches, offering confidence and safety during recreational and professional dives. Whether you’re exploring coral reefs or descending into deeper waters, the watch maintains integrity under pressure.
• Scratch-Resistant Ceramic Bezel: The unidirectional rotating bezel features a ceramic inlay that resists scratches, fading, and wear over time, maintaining its appearance even after prolonged exposure to harsh conditions. Ceramic is known for its hardness and resistance to corrosion, ensuring the bezel remains functional and visually pristine through years of use.
• Adjustable Strap Options: Choose between a durable rubber strap or a metal bracelet, both equipped with a folding clasp that allows micro adjustments of up to 15 mm. This ensures a secure, comfortable fit over wetsuits, rash guards, or bare wrists. The flexibility in sizing makes it easy to wear over dive gear without compromising security or comfort.
• Shock, Sand, and Saltwater Resistance: Engineered to withstand extreme environments, the watch resists impacts, abrasive sand, and corrosive saltwater, making it ideal for marine and coastal adventures. This durability ensures long-term performance in challenging conditions, from rocky shorelines to open ocean excursions.
• Automatic Breitling Caliber 17 Movement: Powered by a self-winding mechanical movement with an approximate 38-hour power reserve, eliminating the need for battery changes and ensuring consistent accuracy. The movement is designed for reliability and precision, requiring minimal maintenance while delivering dependable timekeeping.

Important Notes

For detailed warranty information, customers should refer to the manufacturer’s official documentation or visit the provided link. The watch is designed for professional and recreational diving but should be inspected regularly for seal integrity if used frequently in saltwater.
