Breitling may be best famous for aviation-focused timepieces, but when it pulls a dive watch like the new steel Superocean 44 Special out of its arsenal we sit up and take pay attention to it. The newest addition to the brand’s Superocean range which was first released in 1957, the 44 Special seems like a lethally capable piece of kit, and its specs don’t disappoint, with a depth rating of 1,000 meters or 3,300 feet.
The aeronautical Breitling collection has shifted its focus from the skies to the sea with the new Superocean 44. A ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel announces its tool replica watch cred and it also features a security valve for balancing out pressure differences, marking it as worthy of professional use. Add a ratcheted profile for ease of handling even with gloves and luminescent dial details to enhance underwater legibility and you can see why this might make the Planet Ocean boys at the fake Omega a little nervous. 
The Superocean 44, sized at 44mm, of course, comes in two versions: black dial and bezel with a classic black or blue rubber replica Breitling “ocean racer” strap; and blue dial and bezel on stainless steel. Both feature a twin-gasket screw-locked crown and house a mechanical self-winding movement chronometer-certified by COSC. A seconds hand with a red tip and a small luminescent triangle allow the wearer to verify that the movement is operating at any given time. The steel case on both pieces is satin-finished on top and polished on the sides and crown. Baton-type hands distinguish hours from minutes while differently shaped hour-markers indicate five-minute intervals, quarters, and 12 o’clock. Finally, the sapphire crystal is “glareproofed” on both sides to enhance legibility in any condition. 
The brand’s signature “ocean racer” strap is always one of our favorite strap designs and we recommend it as an option for any Breitling timepiece whose style fits the bill. It is a hybrid between a classic rubber dive strap and a racing-inspired “rally” strap with a row of holes, it’s rugged and unique. The fake Breitling’s other rubber strap is also pretty cool, featuring a raised Breitling signature and finished in blue, giving it a bit more of an aeronautical vibe. Only Panerai does it better, though a Luminor is generally a less accessible timepiece than the tag Heuer replica. However, the 44 Superocean is in line with Breathing’s return to larger timepieces and matches the size of most Luminous. Which would you want to be strapped to your wrist in the event of an underwater emergency?
