SuperOcean Automatic 42 A17375 Reference A173751A1O1S1

SuperOcean Automatic 42 Stainless Steel / Orange / Kelly Slater

Every watch in the Superocean range that Breitling relaunched in 2022 is a diver with no date. This 42mm is the second smallest size, and at launch it was the only one offered in steel and red gold, as well as one of two in bronze.

The oblong markers and squared-off hands come from the Superocean Slow Motion, a diving chronograph Breitling made in the 1960s and 1970s. The movement is the Breitling calibre 17, a version of the ETA 2824-2. This size has a one-way ceramic bezel, while the largest Superocean has one that turns both ways and locks.

The rubber strap and the bracelet both close with a folding clasp that has 15mm of micro-adjustment, enough to fit over the sleeve of a wetsuit.

About the Breitling Superocean

Breitling introduced the Superocean in 1957 with two dive watches: the time-only ref. 1004 and the chronograph ref. 807. Both had 200 metres of water resistance and large hour markers for legibility, a principle drawn from Breitling's aviation instruments. A later chronograph known as the Slow Motion used a central minute hand completing one rotation per hour to make dive times easier to read. In 1983 the ref. 81190 reached 1000 metres with a helium escape valve. Breitling now offers the vintage-styled Superocean Heritage separately from the modern Superocean, which comes in 36mm, 42mm, 44mm and 46mm cases with automatic movements and 300 to 1000 metres of water resistance.
