Breitling has just unveiled a SuperOcean, one of its bestsellers, dedicated to its new partnership as official timekeeper of Ironman endurance races which integrate running, cycling and swimming. A Breitling Superocean Ironman 44 mm replica watch water resistant to 1000 meters with a COSC automatic mechanical caliber.
Little is known, but the SuperOcean remains one of Breitling's bestsellers. Like what, it's not just the Navitimer! The SuperOcean is “the” diver's watch and by extension, “the” sporty one from Breitling. Launched in 1957, it has since been offered in many variations and / or limited editions.
This is the case of this special series (300 copies) produced in partnership with the company Wanda Sports Group (based in Beijing) which manages the Ironman endurance races. As part of this partnership, Breitling will be present at several events, including the Ironman 70.3 World Championship to be held in Nice, France and the 2019 Vega Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
Remember that an Ironman race is a difficult race reserved for the best athletes; it allows them to push their limits further than they thought by doing - or not - swimming (3.8 kilometers), cycling (180 kilometers) and running (42.2 kilometers). Since its inception in 1978, this triathlon has become the ultimate challenge for body, mind and spirit to which professional and amateur athletes submit.
The case
This Breotling SuperOcean is fitted with a 44 mm steel case water resistant to 1,000 meters with a black unidirectional rotating bezel. It also has a black dial, featuring the Ironman logo at 3 o'clock; Moreover, that sounds a bit too "advertising" watch, but hey ... The whole is protected by a thick domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment.
The movement
The numbers, indexes and hands are enhanced by a Superluminova coating which makes them perfectly legible whatever the light. This watch has an automatic mechanical caliber with a standard 38-hour power reserve. COSC certified, it is therefore a chronometer. The Ironman logo and the words "ONE OF 300" (which prevents the brand from numbering them one by one) are engraved on the caseback.
This SuperOcean is presented with a red Diver Pro III rubber strap with pin buckle.
