Superocean Automatic 42 Oomiya Limited Edition

The story

Performance and style for all your water-based pursuits—now in a special exclusive edition with a yellow dial. In the 1960s, the new sport of scuba diving was all the rage. For divers, timing was everything, and Breitling set out to give them the most clear-cut dive watch possible by eliminating any feature that didn’t support their lifesaving needs underwater. This pared-down watch was named the Slow Motion. What remained were: clean lines, chunky luminescent indexes, squared-off hands, and a high-contrast dial ring - all aimed at maximum legibility. Practical, yes. But what people really fell in love with was the look. The new Superocean retraces the Slow Motion's celebrated design codes while adding modern features, like a ceramic-inlaid bezel and brightly colored dials. Broad hands and indexes in luminescent Super-LumiNova® allow for easy readability underwater. OOMIYA, one of the leading Breitling dealers in Japan, will commemorate its 45th anniversary with the release of 20 timepieces of this limited edition Superocean Automatic 42 Oomiya. An 18K red-gold case with a scratch-resistant black ceramic bezel and strap of matching color. Combining the calm anthracite dial with gold hands and indexes adds a touch of class to this imposing luxury sports timepiece. The automatic Breitling Caliber 17 inside is backed by a two-year warranty and a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. All 20 pieces of this special will be available exclusively in Japan at Breitling Boutique Osaka, Boutique Kyoto, and Spirit of Breitling Wakayama.
