Breitling Superocean Automatic 42

No-frills functionality, a colorful palette and a famous muse: the Breitling Superocean Automatic 42 has everything a diver's watch needs to attract the attention of any watch connoisseur. The “big sister” of the Superocean Automatic 36 has many facets and is a practical sports companion and fashion accessory in one.

Breitling Superocean Automatic 42 - between nostalgia and novelty

Inspired by the Superocean Slow Motion, which thrilled divers in the 1960s, the Superocean Automatic 42 treads a fine line between dreamy nostalgia and daring novelty. It combines the design approaches of its great role model with completely modern elements in a watch that is clearly recognizable as a diver's watch without being absolutely purpose-built. After all, a Superocean Automatic from Breitling is almost too beautiful to be used “only” underwater. With its high quality and youthful look, it brings a breath of fresh air to any outfit and can easily be worn in everyday life and the office as well as for sports.

Technical aspects of the Superocean Automatic 42

Equipped with the Breitling 17 manufacture caliber, which has a 38-hour power reserve and is self-winding, the Superocean Automatic 42 is always ready for top performance. It is water-resistant to 300 meters, shockproof and optimally protected against salt water and sand - in other words, a highly robust all-rounder.

Particularly practical: the rubber strap on which this sports watch is worn can be precisely adjusted to the wrist using a folding clasp, ensuring maximum comfort and a secure fit at all times. Meanwhile, the Super-LumiNova coating on the indices and hands ensures optimum readability, providing the perfect conditions for adventures above and below the surface of the water.

From elegant to extravagant: the facets of the Superocean Automatic 42

The Super Automatic 42 collection from Breitling is extremely diverse in terms of color. The product range includes extravagant models with a yellow dial or colorful indices, as well as references dressed entirely in plain black and versions in which a maritime blue or muted green dominates the look.

While the majority of the luxury watches are made of stainless steel, some timepieces have a bronze case or a ceramic inlay bezel in shiny red gold. By far the most expensive and luxurious Superocean Automatic (Ref. R17375211B1S1) even has an entire case made of 18-carat red gold - a real eye-catcher.

But whether gold, bronze or stainless steel: the rubber strap, the luminous hands and the compact indices ensure that the Breitling Superocean Automatic 42 retains its characteristic sportiness in every version - sometimes with an elegant, sometimes with a fashion-forward and sometimes with an absolutely function-oriented top note.
