Breitling Dive Into Colour With Latest Superocean Models

Breitling Dive Into Colour With Latest Superocean Models

Breitling introduces two exciting additions to its Superocean line – the colourful rainbow-dial editions and the robust Superocean Automatic 46 Super Diver model.

Breitling’s relationship with the deep blue takes a chromatic twist with the introduction of the Superocean Automatic 42 (above left) and 36 rainbow-dial editions (above right), alongside a new iteration of the bestselling 44 mm turquoise-dial version now with a tone-on-tone strap. 

“With the summer upon us, our colourful new Superocean models are your ultimate companions, whether you’re riding the waves or relaxing at a beachside dinner.”

Georges Kern, CEO, Breitling

These watches draw inspiration from the legendary SuperOcean Slow Motion of the 1960s and 1970s, which simplified the dive watch into its most essential elements. This chronograph was nicknamed the ‘Slow Motion’ because it took an hour to complete a full rotation. Today’s Superocean retains the spirit of this practicality while reintroducing the seconds hand and integrating modern features for contemporary wearers. 

The collection once again stands out with the unique rainbow-dial models with hour markers and hands coated in a brilliant gradient of Super-LumiNova® hues—yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, red, and orange—that not only add a playful pop of color during the day, but also glow in an array of shades in low light. These models are available in four vibrant 42 mm stainless-steel versions with rubber straps in turquoise, aquamarine, orange, and yellow, and a sophisticated 36 mm version in white combined with a stainless-steel and 18 k red gold case. 

The 44 mm turquoise-dial model extends the colourful theme. Previously available on a black strap, it now sports a tone-on-tone turquoise rubber bracelet, providing a striking contrast with its black ceramic-inlayed bezel. The watches are built for action and leisure, with sporty rubber straps with micro-adjustment clasps, and polished, scratch-resistant ceramic bezel inserts. 

Breitling’s latest innovation, the Superocean Automatic 46 Super Diver, is here to redefine your deep-sea adventures. Engineered to brave the depths, this powerhouse comes with a water resistance of up to 1000 meters and dial options in stealthy green or black camouflage, each paired with matching ceramic inlays that make a statement in and out of the water. 

What sets this diver apart is its bidirectional rotating bezel with a patented safety lock. The clever feature ensures that every twist counts and stays put, guarding against unintended adjustments so you can focus on the wonders of the deep without worrying. 

Adding another layer of reliability, the Superocean Automatic 46 Super Diver includes a soft-iron inner case specially designed to shield the watch from magnetic interference. Whether it’s electronic gadgets or hidden currents, this watch keeps ticking precisely, letting nothing sway its course. 

Crafted from feather-light titanium, the Superocean Automatic 46 Super Diver is available with either a colour-matched rubber strap or a sleek titanium bracelet, blending top-tier functionality with nautical flair. 

The Breitling Book Of Surfing

Since launching its first SuperOcean dive watch back in 1957, Breitling has cultivated a special connection with the surf community, one based on a sense of adventure and a shared love of the sea. The latest edition, The Breitling Book of Surfing  has recently been released.

Published by Rizzoli, this beautiful ‘coffee-table’ tome navigates through surf cultures across six continents—from the rugged, windswept coasts of Ireland to the legendary waves of Oahu, Hawaii. The book was penned by seasoned surf writer Ben Mondy and features a foreword by freestyler Mikey February and an introduction by eight-time world champion Stephanie Gilmore. 

It captures the spirit of surf communities around the globe, as told by 16 of Breitling’s surf ambassadors, many of whom were on hand at the festival. 

With its vivid new Superocean editions and the captivating Breitling Book of Surfing, the brand invites enthusiasts to experience the thrill of sea exploration, both in the water and through the pages that chronicle surfing’s spirited culture.
