<p>&nbsp;</p>

This watch exudes a very beautiful harmony.
The dial and the bezel, tinted in very slightly different blues, are magnificent, with the exterior of the fluted bezel, which goes well with the fine mesh of the bracelet.
Original Tudor movement, very precise and with a good power reserve.
The Milanese type bracelet is in fact with links, extremely comfortable. This allows the circumference of the bracelet to be adjusted. Fortunately, because there is no micro adjustment in the clasp.
The end of the horns is a little protruding, which could possibly be annoying on small wrists.
Beautiful power reserve of 70 hours
It also looks very good on the blue rubber bracelet, very well matched to the dial and the bezel.
It catches the eye, and I often receive questions and complimentary remarks when I wear it.


Sporty and elegant

A diver's watch "special edition 50 years of the model" among aviation watch specialists is unusual! A watch of this size is even less so! 46mm on the wrist... Some will see it as a watch for ostentation, that we wear only to be seen and recognized... I see here a sublime timekeeper in a hypnotic sunray blue, 3-hand dial and Breitling logo in 18k gold nicely decorated with baton indexes with a "railroad" outline that seems to be one with the ceramic bezel of the same tone. The rendering is simple, effective and gives a watch that gives the time COSC precision with a beautiful 70-hour power reserve. What more could you ask for?

Ab initio, this type of model didn't interest me much until I came across one in a window and after trying it on, its imposing diameter no longer seemed so disturbing to me.

The Milanese mesh bracelet is light and pleasant to wear, contrasting subtly with the heaviness of the case and ultimately forming a homogeneous whole. This time, it's a real plus and a real change from the classics. Folding clasp closure mechanism with a reminder of the old Breitling "winged B" logo crossed by an anchor. Nice detail.

The watch is reassuring and objectively successful in terms of visuals, in a sporty-chic design that allows it to be worn with any outfit.

On the downside, a unidirectional bezel without numerical indications that "noises" in a rather banal way. The 120 teeth that compose it are not the most pleasant to the touch and the calligraphy of "SuperOcean" is not the most beautiful thing that exists in this world. The date indication with a magnifying glass would not have been a luxury for a (small) diving watch (200m) ... In short, so many details that make us feel that Breitling prefers to fly rather than swim. But not going any further from where I stand, these defects are forgiven. 

Very recent purchase, to replace a professional Aquaracer that I really liked, wore a lot but which no longer brought me any emotion. Weariness, desire to move upmarket 

I lack the experience of happy days to see how it evolves with the passing of time. Maybe I will change my opinion in a while (if the platform allows me haha)
