SOLD OUT: Breitling SuperOcean Heritage 46mm AB202016/C961 Box Papers Warranty BLUE Ceramic

WHY THIS WATCH

Inspiration from the Past

 

In the 1950's diving was starting to become a more popular sport around the world. It was at this time in 1957 that Breitling released the SuperOcean Chronograph, reference 807. The reference 807 was designed for divers who needed a hearty and reliable watch for their underwater explorations. The SuperOcean line was water resistant to 200m, which was huge at the time. They also carried a distinctive style, including triangle shaped hands as well as circular/triangular hour markers. Breitling has carried the inspiration from this model to today, with this 44mm DLC Coated Superocean Chronograph. 

Ceramic At Last with a Great Calibre

 

Unlike older SuperOceans, this one replaces the standard (and very scratchable) aluminum bezel with a hearty, scratch proof Ceramic Bezel. 

Inside this beast we have a Breitling In-House Calibre B20, which has a 70 hour power reserve, bi-directional automatic rotor, quickset date, and hacking seconds. The hacking seconds feature is important as it stops the second hand when you pull the crown, enabling you to set the time to the exact second. You'd be surprised at how many modern manufactured movements don't hack! I'll also mention that this movement is Chronometer rated, which is a certification handed to movements that meet strict timing and functional standards. Breilting has really stepped up it's movements in recent years, and has come a long way from the off-the-shelf ETAs of the past. 

          Wrist Impressions

On the wrist this is a large watch, that wears a touch smaller due to the comfortable Rubber Strap. Blue strap, Blue dial, Blue bezel, aesthetically this is a divers watch. The Ceramic bezel is okay, even though I have seen better executions, it will do the job and be scratch free. I love these mesh style rubber straps, and I love how Breilting has put a micro-adjust into the deployment. I can get the perfect fit every time. This watch is very legible due to the special hour hand. This watch would make a great daily wearer for someone with big wrists.
