The new Breitling Superocean Automatic Replica is perhaps the coolest diver’s watch that Breitling has ever conceived, with its playful, bright candy colour variations and new case materials.The model instigated a completely new design code for diver’s watches. It features no seconds hand, given they have no real use for divers. In its place is a chronograph hand, with one full rotation around the dial taking an hour – hence the name ‘Slow Motion’.
The coolness factor
The tip of this extra chronograph hand had an unusual yet all the more striking quadratic shape. Similar to Rolex’s lollipop hand, except four-cornered as opposed to round. The Most Impressive Replica Watch indices were likewise square instead of round, with a full covering of Super-LumiNova. The Slow Motion particularly stood out for its contrasting ring on the dial, marking the minute scale.
Breitling Swiss Replica Watches goal was to create as legible a diver’s watch as possible. That said, the needs of consumers have naturally changed fifty years on. The watches are no longer first and foremost really there for the sake of diving, but rather as a daily watch option. Furthermore, Breitling is very much establishing itself as a lifestyle brand, which, through strong campaigns and chic products, is tapping its way onto the radar of a completely new clientele.
The new Breitling Superocean Replica vs Real comes in four sizes with three case materials and two strap options. For men, there are variations in 42, 44, or 46 mm. For women, there are also colourful models available in a 36 mm case. I would have loved to see a 40 mm model for men, because it is one of the most worn sizes these days. Nevertheless, the 42 mm model sits just as well on the wrist thanks to the nice and flat case architecture, with a height of 12.56 mm.
Materials
For the first time, Breitling Replica Watches Company is introducing a bronze watch alongside its steel and steel-gold combinations. This of course makes sense for a diver’s watch. While bronze can occasionally look a little rough, the tone here is fantastic – warm, rose-golden, yet not too shiny. Even the inner minute ring is made of bronze. Breitling use a particularly corrosion-resistant alloy so that the case doesn’t gain patina too quickly.
Breitling also offers the new Superocean models on a three-link metal bracelet. Fine-adjustment up to 15 mm is possible via the folding clasps, proving useful in my case. The Perfect Breitling Replica Watches bezels are scratch-resistant, have ceramic inlays, and – in true diver’s watch fashion – one can only adjust them in one direction. Only on the 46 mm version does the bezel secure against the crown. Breitling implements this with the help of a patented locking mechanism, and it turns either both or just one way if required.
The movement
The calibre 17 of the new Superocean displays hours, minutes and seconds. It’s a Sellita movement that is based on the ETA2824 movement design. The advantage is that this makes the new Breitling Replica quite flat, which has a positive effect on wearability and comfort. The disadvantage is that the power reserve is only around 38 hours, which is no longer a great achievement in today’s world of luxury mechanical watches.
