Breitling Superocean

Dive watch by Breitling

The Superocean was first brought onto the market 1957 by Breitling and was waterproof up to 200 meters.

In 1995 successors of the watch were water resistant to 1,500 meters (Breitling Colt Super Ocean, equipped with a helium valve) and in 2002 even established a record for serial mechanical dive watches with a water resistance up to 3,000 meters (Breitling Seawolf, equipped with an integrated helium valve).

On the 50th anniversary of the watch in 2007, Breitling presented in the model range Aeromarine a tribute to the Superocean, the Superocean Héritage in two sizes. From the larger model there is now also a chronograph version.
