Breitling’s heritage as a maker of robust, purpose-built tool watches is well established, and nowhere is that legacy more apparent than in the Superocean collection. Originally created for professional and recreational divers, the Superocean has evolved into a contemporary dive watch that marries vintage cues with modern materials.

The A17375E71C1A1, released in 2022 as part of Breitling’s refreshed Superocean lineup, captures this ethos perfectly. The 42mm stainless steel case is both sporty and versatile, with a balanced thickness that offers substantial wrist presence without sacrificing comfort. The standout turquoise dial — inspired by Caribbean waters — features bold rectangular indices and oversized hands filled with Super-LumiNova for exceptional readability. The white minute track and glossy black ceramic bezel provide a striking visual contrast, enhancing legibility and elevating the design.

Breitling’s Caliber 17 automatic movement, based on the tried-and-tested ETA 2824-2, is COSC-certified for chronometer-grade accuracy. Paired with a solid-link stainless steel bracelet and professional-grade 300m water resistance, this is a serious dive watch — though its radiant colorway makes it equally suitable as a summer statement piece.

Collector’s Notes

The turquoise dial variant of the Superocean 42 has quickly become one of the most desirable configurations in the collection. Its vibrant hue — often referred to as “Tiffany Blue” — adds a distinct, contemporary aesthetic that sets it apart from traditional black or navy divers.

Released in 2022 as part of Breitling’s modern redesign of the Superocean line, this model perfectly balances vintage inspiration with modern materials and technical performance. COSC-certified, water-resistant to 300 meters, and featuring a ceramic bezel, it is both stylish and robust.

With the surge in popularity of colorful dial sports watches and increasing scarcity of this reference at retail, it is a standout opportunity for collectors seeking a piece that captures both current design trends and lasting tool watch functionality.
