BREITLING Superocean SLOW MOTION [got rehaut]​

Surfs up! Breitling brings plenty vibrant colors, style and nostalgia to its latest Superocean collection, a new diver come surfer luxury wristwatch that is making waves!

Sand-resistant and fits over rashies! Breitling has finally realized that surfer dudes and dudettes will also appreciate all those virtues that we extol in our diver’s watches.

for this update, Mike.

got to see these in the metal today for the first time. Nice in person. The paddle hand is still a bit awkward but better in person. The dial feels small because of the rehaut/chapter ring. the bright colors are better looking than the dark IMO.

The new Breitling Superocean - Turquoise 44 vs Kelly Slater 42​

Sep 10, 2022

Bruce Williams

I am a fan of the newest Superocean model. Enough that I ordered the Turquoise dialed 44. I think the slow motion inspired design is cool stylistically and exceptionally legible. I welcome the upgrades over the previous generation (thinner case, ceramic bezel, nicer action, applied markers, BGW9, and the quick adjust clasp) and enjoy the addition of the reflective finish bold dial colors (we still need Breitling yellow!). In this video I showcase my personal two favorite iterations. for lending me these two watches!

Thank you to @BreitlingOfficial for lending these two for the video!

agree... when I was just about ready to get my first Breitling I was offered a very good deal on a yellow Avenger Seawolf. I did like it and Breilting yellow is hot. But I thought: if I'm going to get a Breitling I want to be able to always wear it.

This 1000 piece limited 42 is certainly an intrepid release. A lively color scheme with all the upgrades of the new SO generation. Needless to say I am a fan!

Love me some Breitlings but have to say I'm not a fan of this model...

 

[roadwarrior]

I've never been big on BREITLING, but I like the look of this Avenger 45 Seawolf in yellow. I'm not too keen on the 55+ L2L and the ETA 2824-2. The caliber 17 in the prices range is a downside for me once a certain threshold is reached price wise.

this is the exact model I was referring to above. I passed because of color and thickness. Its a killer watch and the yellow looks awesome, I just didn't want what I thought would be my only Breitling to be yellow. Even still at that thickness when I did add an Avenger I went for the thinner blackbird. I've seen these in the lower $2k range. In that range I think its a great watch.

Breitling Superocean - Where is the value?​

Bruce Williams

Nov 25, 2022

Today I ramble about the new Breitling Superocean and how it relates to the prior discontinued variation. I am one of the few who feel this is an upgrade, and worth the premium. I hope you enjoy my musings and videography.

0:00 - 1:52 The allure of the Superocean
1:52 - 4:15 Comical hypocrisy of the watch enthusiast
4:15 - 6:20 The more you look at it, the more you like it
6:20 - 9:52 Why Sellita?
9:52 - 11:11 I love it

After telling you I'd never had a problem with the SW200 way back when. I wound up having issues with one. By the 15th turn of the crown, the crown got so tight I could barely turn it. Started hearing clicking noises in the movement as well about the 15th turn too. My SW300 and 330-1's have been flawless though.

Sorry to hear that. Sooner or later it's bound to happen with this stinking movement the more trinkets you have using them. What brand is it BBH?
