The watch possesses excellent legibility thanks to its oversized hands and sapphire crystal glareproofed on both sides and is fitted with the Breitling Caliber 17: a sturdy, precise, and reliable movement.
We were fortunate to acquire our SuperOcean 44 in gorgeous condition from the original owner via an intermediary. The collector had a large collection and stored away most of his watches, essentially wearing some little and others not at all before his passing away. He purchased it in 2019.
We have opened the watch to inspect and test it and have very lightly polished it so it presents like new. It presents as about a 9.8 or 9.9 out of 10. The only wear to the watch is minuscule wear on the back from it being opened for inspection. On the wrist it presents like new.
Our Master Watchmaker has inspected and tested the movement and performed any needed servicing.
Included with the purchase is a new one-year C.O.T. warranty.
Breitling watches:
"There has never been anyone in a plane's cockpit without a Breitling ... on his wrist -- or who would at least wished to have one." - Musings of an aviation journalist
Worn by Bruce Willis, Harrison Ford, Jerry Seinfeld, and Tommy Lee Jones, the company's watches are favorites of Hollywood celebrities and anyone desiring to wear a timepiece of distinction.
According to Breitling, since 1957 the SuperOcean has earned a solid reputation in the field of diver's watches. As a true seagoing instrument with helium escape value the SuperOcean is water-resistant to 1500 meters (5000 feet).
