The cases of the 36-mm and 42-mm versions are polished steel the 44-mm case is satin-brushed steel.
The 36-mm model comes with a black or a white dial. On the 42- and 44-mm models, dials are available in either black or deep blue. The watches are available on a rubber “Ocean Racer” strap or steel bracelet. The movement, Caliber 17, is chronometer certified and beats at 28,800 vph. The caseback is embossed with a circular Superocean motif. On all three sizes, the Breitling Superocean II has a screw-locked crown, unidirectional rotating bezel that ratchets into place, and a cambered sapphire crystal. The 36-mm-wide Superocean II looks nearly identical to its larger siblings, though it’s also available in a white-on-steel version for ladies. Whereas the Superocean 42 (the number comes from its case diameter) is 15 mm thick and the Superocean 44 is 16.7 mm thick, the Superocean II is 13.3 mm thick with a 42-mm diameter and 14.2 mm thick with a 44-mm diameter.Īdditionally, the Superocean II comes in a distinctly different size that’s not available in the Superocean line. The case of the Superocean II is slimmer than its predecessor. A red outline for the arrow-tipped seconds hand is standard on all sizes of the Superocean II. What’s more, the Superocean II has an internal circle of indexes for reading 24-hour time – something you won’t find on any other Superocean model.

There is now a full complement of Arabic numerals to mark the hours, all with white luminous coating.
The dial has also gone in for a redesign. The bezel has graduations for the last 15 minutes of a dive, but these markings are now large rectangular markings, not the small pips seen on models like the current Superocean 44. The font for the numbers on the rotating bezel is less stylized than on Superocean, and this bezel now has a luminous dot at 12 o’clock. In developing the Superocean II, Breitling has made some subtle but important design updates. This movement is also to be found in the Superocean II. In the last few years, it’s also come to have an in-house movement, Breitling’s Caliber 17, based on the ETA 2824-2 with quick-set date. But that’s been far surpassed: recent versions of the Superocean have been water resistant to as much as 1,500 meters. Let’s take a look to see what distinguishes this new watch from its forebears.įirst launched in 1957, the original Breitling Superocean was water resistant to 200 meters, making it inarguably a serious divers’ watch. But in 2015, Breitling brought out a new generation altogether: the Breitling Superocean II. Over the years the Superocean has been a mainstay of Breitling’s watches, moving through a variety of different designs and variations.
