This submariner-esque black steel piece stands at a prominent 44mm in diameter. The black ceramic divers bezel on the black steel case makes for a contrasting black on black look. The shiny ceramic finish and mate black case make the piece more than just a black watch. The dial boasts large SuperLuminova markers and hands for extra legibility. A GMT complication adds some flair to this dial as well, all accompanied by the applied Breitling wings in the center. A rubber strap and black steel buckle finish off this sport diver.
It seems Breitling has created a close competitor to the Rolex Deep Sea Sea Dweller. With a similar diameter and look along with the ceramic bezel, Breitling offers a clean yet bulky sport piece. The black case, rubber strap, and of course price point set them apart. Ascetically, a ceramic bezel makes a huge difference. Detailed finishes, materials and complication are what make each timepiece unique. Look for the Superocean 44 Special with an MSRP just short of $5,000.
