Breitling already owned the skies by 1957 when they launched the Navitimer's counterpart, the Breitling Super Ocean (Superocean). At the time the Swiss company guaranteed a water resistance of 200 meters (660 feet), which by the way, was unheard of at that time. Originally targeting professionals and military divers, the Superocean soon became very popular among recreational divers. Today this technical masterpiece is in the forefront of quality diver's watches and boasts a wide range of aesthetical variations to accommodate every enthusiast alike. Whether you like your band material in crocodile leather or, perhaps more practical, rubber, the Superocean range is absolutely stunning. Even if you are not into diving this watch is the absolute embodiment of elegance and style, lest not forget the technical piece of genius encapsulated within that.

The Superocean model is part of the Breitling Aeromarine range and basically comes in three distinct models: the Superocean, the Chrono Superocean and the Superocean Steelfish. All three of these models come in various different versions to accommodate everyone’s taste. A real cool feature across all the models is the safety valve which literally protects the case from exploding at great depths. When the internal pressure reaches approximately 3 bars, the valve automatically releases helium over prolonged diving periods. The Superocean specifications are as follows:
