This 42mm Breitling Superocean Chronograph is the ideal choice for Breitling fans who don't boast a wrist like The Rock, Shaq, and the late Richard Kiel (James Bond's "Jaws"). No, this is a Breitling built for human proportions and mortal combat with Rolex and Omega.
While Breitling's 44-49mm "Super" and "Bentley" models are loaded with presence and attitude, they also dwarf many vintage desk clocks. Traditional sports watch fans looking for a Breitling to call their own need look no farther than the Superocean Chronograph. It combines a useable size, plenty of presence, a bomb-proof movement, and an automatic day/date chronograph caliber.
In short, this Superocean Chronograph is the total package. Its silver dial includes delicate concentric circular guilloche that adds texture and imparts real elegance to the burly tool-watch visage. Contrasting blue sub-dials sport a similar treatment on a smaller scale.
The dial sits ensconced within a steel case rated to 500 meters (1,650 feet) of water resistance. Unless you hang with Captain Nemo, that should be plenty.
The Breitling "Professional II" bracelet feels as upscale and robust as the case. Each shoulder link of the Professional II features alternating brushed and polished steel that eschews the blinding but monotonous full polish of the Breitling for Bentley series. A solid clasp features a multi-slot range of micro adjustments, and the deployant hinge is held secure by a clamshell lock.
Inside the 42mm case, a Breitling caliber 13 based on the redoubtable Valjoux/ETA 7750 provides motive power and COSC Swiss Chronometer-grade accuracy. The famously tough 7750 chronograph drives the Superocean Chronograph's star complication, and it adds a useful day/date display for good measure.
With a combination of a wearable but contemporary size, useful complications, thoughtful finish, robust construction, and a bomb-proof automatic movement, this Superocean Chronograph could pull duty as an enthusiasts' only watch.
This outstanding Breitling Superocean Chronograph reference A13340 is available from thewatchbox.com in like-new condition with immaculate finish and an original Breitling box set. See it on:
