The Breitling Superocean is more than just a watch, it's a legend that has captivated the hearts of horology enthusiasts worldwide. Its evolution over the years has cemented its status as a Breitling icon, as well as one of the most-loved dive watches around.


The story of the Breitling Superocean begins in the 1950s, a time when demand for reliable dive watches was on the rise thanks to increased interest in scuba-diving. Breitling, famed for its innovative designs and precision—as demonstrated via its pilot’s watches—saw an opportunity to create a watch that could endure the challenges of the sea.


The inaugural time-only Breitling Superocean was introduced in 1957, followed by a chronograph version in 1959. Each model showcased the brand's dedication to quality and excellence. They featured a monocoque (i.e., one-piece) stainless-steel case, a unidirectional rotating bezel, and highly oversized hour markers for increased visibility. This distinctive design paved the way for future dive watches and positioned the Superocean as a go-to watch for divers.


Over time, the Superocean has benefitted from various enhancements and upgrades, reflecting the brand's pursuit of technological advancements.


Key moments in the watch’s history include the introduction of a helium escape valve, allowing the watch to handle extreme pressure differences during saturation diving. The use of proprietary materials has further elevated the Superocean's performance and durability.


Today, the Breitling Superocean appeals to both professional divers and watch aficionados, thanks to its superior technical specifications. Powered by a reliable automatic movement, the watch guarantees precise timekeeping.


Its impressive water resistance of up to 1,000 metres makes it an ideal choice for deep-sea divers and water sport enthusiasts. Even the Superocean’s standard 300 metres of water resistance will more than suffice for most people—plus, it matches other hugely popular dive watches like the Rolex Submariner.


The Superocean collection offers various models, each with unique features and specifications. Avid divers may prefer a model with a high water-resistance rating and specialist functions, like the Superocean Automatic 44—water-resistant to 1,000 metres. Whereas style enthusiasts may opt for a model with a focus on aesthetics and versatility like the colourful Superocean Automatic 36 line—inspired by the 1960s Breitling Slow Motion.


Breitling’s Superocean Heritage range celebrates a 60-plus-years legacy of exceptional dive watches. Each model features a reinvigorated design based on the original Superocean and blends timeless looks with cutting-edge technology. These retro-enthused timepieces are available in time-only, date and chronograph versions.


With its rich history and exceptional craftsmanship, the Breitling Superocean range offers something for everyone. Whether you're a professional diver or simply appreciate the art of horology and design, the Superocean will not disappoint.
