Breitling Superocean Automatic Box & Papers Ref A17360

Manufactured by Breitling from 2003 until 2010, the A17360 in its production run served as the flagship model in the historic brand's esteemed SuperOcean dive watch collection. Featuring a large 42mm by 15mm steel construction and a professional-grade dive rating, the watch is from its case inward a capable tool watch with some distinct turn-of-the century flare. A ratcheted unidirectional rotating bezel tops the case with an engraved diving scale, a feature quickly recognisable as signature Breitling and recalling other popular designs by the brand like the Chronomat and Avenger collections.

Continuing its bold streak, the SuperOcean on its dial opts for a highly legible style via its use of large Arabic numerals for the 1 to 12 o'clock markers, with smaller 13 to 24 numerals within them. A small date window breaks up the style at the 3 o'clock position, adding some additional day-to-day functionality to the professional wearer. The Breitling caliber 17 powers the watch's lume-filled handset, the automatic mechanism based upon the ETA 2824-2 and sharing its renowned reliability.

The watch is supplied with box and papers and maintains accurate timing
