Everything was accelerating, progress was taking hold in all industries, the standard of living in the majority of developed countries was rising, we were in the middle of the “Trente Glorieuses” period. Just like the Navitimer collection, which has recently been revamped, and its performance requirements for aviators, the 1950s saw a strong demand for diving watches. Whether for professionals, enthusiasts or sportsmen, nautical activities were booming and needed to be reliable for a then almost unexploited underwater world.SuperOcean Slow MotionThis new model with its turquoise dial and black rubber strap is based on the aesthetics of the original 1960s version of the SuperOcean Slow Motion. This term comes from an invention made by Willy Breitling at the time. Its main objective is perfect and safe readability underwater, whatever the depth of the dive. According to him, a minute counter is too small and does not ensure easy reading underwater at a glance, so he decided to use the main hand of the chronograph to indicate the diving time. To do this, Willy Breitling created a unique new calibre called “Slow Motion”. This term comes from the fact that the hand used for diving goes around the dial in slow motion, i.e. in one hour instead of one minute. Hence the rather clever name of the SuperOcean Slow Motion.In briefThis 44 mm re-edition on black rubber is also available on a robust and comfortable 3-row steel mesh bracelet and in other colours: blue and green. Equipped with the Manufacture 17 calibre, this watch will be your most faithful ally at sea and in everyday life.
