One of the my favorite watch manufacturers known for creating Pilot's timepieces and rugged military watches recently released a new watch in their diver's lineup: The SuperOcean 44 Special. Now, Breiling's SuperOcean models have been around since 1957; next year will mark 60years so it was a surprise for Breitling to bring out a special edition a year before its 6 decade anniversary.
The watch is nothing new or 'special' from Breitling's current trend of offering a black steel edition for everyone of their designs. The 44mm case is a satin brushed black steel and it is fitted with a glossy ceramic unidirectional bezel. The watch also sports a new dial with over sized luminous markers with 13-24hr markings on each marker. The hands also features luminous properties and the seconds hand is accentuated at the tip with red.
At 9 o'clock is a helium escape valve along with the double gasket screw down crown allows the watch to go down to depths of up to 1000 meters. Inside ticks a COSC Breitling 17 movement (All Breitling models are as of this writing - something I fully support).
More information can be found on Breitling's website.
