"It has 500 meters of water resistance because we're still pretending people dive with these." Absolutely brilliant. Sharp looking Breitling. Looks great.

I always raise an eyebrow when watch guys complain that the WR is 'only' say 200m when in reality most scuba divers won't go below 20m and you need specialist equipment beyond 60. If you find yourself at 500m your watch breaking is going to be the least of your worries.

I have the older Superocean Abyss with yellow chapter ring, which looks quite similar but has a slightly different case. One of my favorite watches - wears well, has an on-the-fly sliding clasp - and has been rock solid dependable and accurate for the last decade. Regarding water resistance - I DO swim and do some diving with this watch. But the main reason I pay attention to depth rating is that I've found it to be a pretty good indicator of how robust a watch is in everyday wear, regardless of what I'm doing - working with my hands, swimming, cooking, hiking - etc. Essentially what tool watches are meant for.

I think it's more of an exercise in engineering to say, "This is what we can do". It's as pointless as driving a Ferrari in California rush hour traffic where the Corolla next to you is going the same 25 miles an hour. It's just a marketing selling point.

The best bit of advice I ever received when I first got into the watch collection game...buy what YOU like, nothing else matters. If you buy what you like, you will never be disappointed with your selection. I'd rather wear watches I like than have something with better "resale value" sitting in a bank vault. Just my 2 cents.

I had enough money for one nice watch and decided on the JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon because I read enough people raving about it and convinced myself that it was the watch I ‘should’ have, the ‘sensible’ purchase. I tried it on and found I didn’t really connect with it but still went ahead with the purchase because it was such a ‘good’ watch. I ended up selling two years later after it sat in the watch box doing nothing while the Seiko divers got yet another run out. Then the money slowly frittered away and I’m having to save up for the sports watch I really deep down wanted back then. I just wish I’d had the courage to get what I wanted, rather than what the watch community told me I wanted.

@@ProfessorPesca @guiness1100 Your comments really helped build my perspective around buying watches we like. I always used to think about this exact thing and thought that if a watch is being spoken about its probably because its good and if a watch isn't being spoken about its probably because it isn't good. I understood after a lot of maturing in the watch game that just wear the watch that makes you happy because we Watch Nuts don't wear watches to make the watch community happy but rather because it makes us happy and even if you buy a watch that isn't spoken about at all then what could even go wrong, It's just a watch at the end of the day. I think every beginner should have someone that makes them understand this, So they don't end up buying just the Hype watches. I mean its still the safer bet at the end of the day but then what's the point of buying a watch if doesn't make you happy.

They are both no longer in my collection. My focus was getting my “grail” watches, my AP royal oak ,JLC reverso IWC portegieser, Rolex explorer II, ect. After more then 20 years, I own a Breitling again and I love it. Thanks🤗

I almost bought it because I love the design. But decided to go for a Grand Seiko this time instead. The main reason for not getting it was the feeling that Breitling can do even better (which they hopefully will do soon). Looking at the competition in this price range finishing can be improved slightly, and the ETA-based movement with its relatively short power reserve is a bit underwhelming for a watch in this price category in 2021. I wish they would do a movement swap as they did with the Superocean Heritage to get a 70h power reserve. That would make this a particularly compelling dive watch I would very much consider buying.

@@najo1408 I wouldn't say it's crap, but I do agree it can be better for the price. The quality is still very good and the movement is of course regulated by Breitling. However in essence it's still the same as one as found in for instance a Hamilton Khaki Diver which costs less than $1000. In my opinion especially the power reserve is just not up to par, and I think they could also do something about magnetic resistance. At this price level the watch should be competitive at every level with the Tudor Black Bay 58. Unfortunately right now it's not. So I do really hope Breitling will fix this as I love the brand and the look of this particular watch!

I'm still deeply in love with my Superocean Blue 42. So much so I've done something I've never done, wear a watch longer than 30 days. In fact I'm at 122 days straight with my Superocean on my wrist. My other watches became so jealous that I'm now pulling a Schwarzkopf so that they get wrist time. Breitling hit it out of the park with this Superocean. It's just a fun watch to wear, look at and enjoy. It's a strap monster and I can't seem to find any real shortcomings against it. I honestly believe has the potential to be a One Watch Collection piece.

I have a black dial 44mm Super Ocean and I adore that watch. It’s the older version with full Arabic numerals and I love when all the indices are glowing with lume. I have a larger wrist, so the 44 feels great on me. The bracelet set a standard for me and now I can’t stand cheaper watch bracelets because I’ve been so spoiled. I doubt I’ll ever sell it because it means so much to me and wears so well.

I got the Black 42. One of the my absolute favorite watches. And yes, the 42 wears more like a 40mm. Breitling crystals are by far the best in the market. I’ve always heard about it, but seeing the crystal in person will truly impress you. The bracelet is also great, really balanced. The only thing that Breitling needs to do, is add on the go micro adjustments to the bracelet. They already do it to their rubber straps, not sure why they haven’t updated their bracelets. Nonetheless, Breitling is doing great things, Georges has really invigorated the brand.

Got the white dial/blue rubber version a week ago. Tried on GS, Seamaster, Speedmaster, SO Heritage and I kept coming back to this one. It has such a casual vibe with its matte finish. Not a big bracelet guy and this rubber strap is way better than the Seamaster's. I use the quick adjust everyday. Even new at an AD you can get these at a great price (which leaves you more $ to buy more watches...)

Tried this on, a more comfortable wear than the Rolex submariner. Granted I tried it on the robust rubber strap. Also the markers does away with so much of the negative space that it gives the impression that it wears smaller especially in the all black colorway. Wished they used the 2892 at this price point and allowed it to shave a few tenths of a mm in thickness

Breitling is really underrated in terms of objective quality, although it's mostly the fault of some of their past terrible designs and marketing. Vintage Breitlings are sweet though

lol, awesome! A few weeks after your presentation of the black 44mm I was pulling the trigger on this exact same 42mm blue dial with the bracelet :D And I absolutely love it! I did own an Avenger II GMT with the same bracelet (but all polished) before and I just needed another Breitling in my collection as I already sold this one last year.

Just bought a black version of this and I think it's so worth it. Wears comfortably and very beautiful on my 7" wrist. Just curious why I never seen anyone wearing it since the Superocean 42 is such a great diving sport watch.

Excellent review thanks. I've owned the white dial SO 42 on rubber which I sold to buy the black dial on bracelet. Before that I had the black dial and silver dial Seamasters but I grew bored of them and flipped both. I bought my Black SO for €2800 from the grey market and I like it even more than the white dial version. I have to agree with respect to the size, the 42 indeed wears more like a 40 and my wrist size is only 6.5". The SuperOcean is not perfect - the date wheel is not colour matched, my clasp is very stiff to close and the packaging feels a bit cheap given the price of the watch. However I would buy again in a heartbeat.

I have the dark green dial 44mm. Amazing how readable this watch is in low light conditions, like no other watch I've had. Of course in the dark the lume is fantastic. The 44mm is a bit large. The ETA movement is serviceable at far more locations than an in-house movement.

I have looked at these online many times... drooling over them. I am naturally drawn to the yellow and orange variants, based on the promo visuals. But seeing how stunning this blue dial looks on camera, I am now not sure at all. As for the movement, I really don't care if it's in-house or not... just that it's good.
