The Breitling Superocean 44 Particular made its debut just over a year ago to relatively little fanfare, which can be a bit of a shame, since it remains one of the brand’s more cohesive, pristine dip watches to come in a couple of release cycles. But despite mostly appearing like a footnote at Breitling’s 2016 releases, the 44 Particular apparently did well enough to warrant two editions. Previously available exclusively in Breitling superocean ii 44 automatic men’s imitation watch stealthy Blacksteel PVD finish, these new models have a matte stainless steel case with blue or black dial choices.
Diving slightly (okay, five occasions ) deeper than Breitling’s entry-level automated Colt sport watches, the 1000m-rated Superocean II watches provide the complete suite of contemporary features that lots of luxury tool watch lovers crave (crazy depth ratings, a knurled unidirectional bezel, blinding luminosity, and even a helium discharge valve), while dialing back the ultra-macho, military-inspired aesthetic that defines the Avenger array of aviation watches.
While Breitling superocean ii 44 mod c910-158s a17392d8/c replica watch still insists on calling the Superocean II an”sea pilot,” the Breitling Superocean II 44 Special replica watch is anything but. Along with checking the aforementioned requisite features for a diver of this ilk, the Particular distinguishes itself from the standard Superocean II by going with a stainless steel case end, a more minimalist dial using square employed indices instead of the busy Arabic numerals, and a sound, ceramic bezel characterized by its singularly smooth surface and exceptionally sharp, grippy serrations.
Said ceramic bezel is not new technology for Breitling superocean ii 44 men’s stainless steel replica watch, as we have already seen the black variant on the first Blacksteel 44 Special, and a similar version of the profound, matte blue introduced on that Boutique-Edition Chronoliner. Generally speaking, the singular colour of the bezel looks great here, however it remains to be seen whether a ceramic bezel (usually the initial errant contact point for a dive watch against a ship gunwale, dive ladder, or door frame) will stand up to the frequent impacts that describe the life of a well-worn instrument watch.
When compared with the standard Superocean II, the new Breitling Superocean 44 Special is significantly more austere in its execution, putting it in league with the Tudor Pelagos or 2014’s Rolex Sea Dweller 4000, both of which are alike clinical in their program of contrast and texture. The extra contrast of the new stainless steel case finish is a welcome one, as the previous Blacksteel edition tended to overwhelm the wrist, as most all-black watches have a tendency to do. As mentioned before, the outcome is one of the more cohesive, purpose-built divers in the Breitling superocean ii 44 blue imitation watch catalog, but one that is altogether contemporary and masculine without seeming to be producing great pains to frighten you.
The guts of the Breitling Superocean 44 Particular remain unchanged — inside still beats Breitling’s Calibre 17, a chronometer-grade ETA 2824-based automatic movement with 25 jewels, along with a power reserve of around 42 hours. Pricing for your Breitling Superocean 44 Particular at $4,350 for the stainless steel end on bracelet and $3,850 on rubber is a bit less than the existing Blacksteel version at $4,980 on the rubberized strap.
