Breitling Superocean Automatic 46 Blue Dial Blue Rubber Strap Watch For Men
Breitling’s Superocean Automatic 46 is engineered for explorers who demand reliability beneath the waves and sophistication above them. Designed around legibility and rugged performance, this watch excels as a dedicated dive instrument while transitioning seamlessly to everyday wear.
Why this watch stands out
Where many dive watches trade readability for decoration, the Superocean Automatic 46 prioritizes underwater legibility with broad, luminescent markers and hands that pop against a high-contrast dial. The ceramic-inlaid bezel resists scratches and fading, maintaining its sharp look even after years of use. The watch’s 300 m (1000 ft) water resistance, combined with a robust stainless steel case and screw-in crown, makes it a dependable companion for ocean adventures and rainy-day commutes alike.

Experience the fusion of Breitling’s storied dive heritage with contemporary performance. The Superocean Automatic 46 is not just a dive watch—it’s a versatile instrument built to perform, endure, and look outstanding whether you’re on the reef or at a gala.
Performance and style for all your water-based pursuits. 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-inlayed bezel and brightly colored dials. Broad hands and indexes in luminescent Super-LumiNova® allow for easy readability underwater. The watch is water resistant to 300 m (1000 ft), as well as being shock-, sand- and saltwater-resistant. The bronze version uses a special alloy that has excellent resistance to corrosion, yet will still develop a subtle patina over time that makes the watch even more unique. The two strap options (rubber and metal bracelet) have a folding clasp that allows for micro-adjustments of up to 15 mm for easy wear over rashies and wetsuits. Its scratch-proof ceramic inlayed bezel will never wear or fade. For safety, the bezel is uni-directional on most sizes and bi-directional with a patented lock on the 46 mm. Best of all, this is no longer strictly a dive watch—surf with it, swim with it, hit the beach bar with it, then wear it out to dinner. The Superocean perfectly balances the nostalgia of its heritage with a fresh new look.
