Thanks to all for your comments. I have some updated information about the movement of this watch and what Breitling does to the movement. They start with the Top Grade movement to begin with, but the they fine tune the escapement, add a higher quality mainspring, center the hairspring, poise the balance and then they regulate the movement in 5 positions. They then also add their decoration and detail. This is the process that Breitling uses to create the Caliber 17 from an ETA 2824-2.
I think They've been trying to fake the Rolex Oyster design, be it the DeepSea, Sub, or GMT master. Not cool. Id rather stick to a Rolex. As to Breitling, they're still awesome timepieces, especially the Chronomat Evolution
This is such a deadly watch, what would make it the perfect diver watch of all time would be to straighten out the damn numbers on the dial and bezel ! What the he'll were they thinking ??? That would be the only reason I wouldn't buy it.
I've got it since january the 29, but the last week i send it to Breitling cause the chrono is to speed.. 2 minutes for 12 hours.. It's a real problem. I must wait 8 weeks to have it again.. I'm very irritated..

@2002bjamesc What a great watch review. What a shame you have no other reviews because I like the way you pump out all the stats which shows you really know your stuff. I would love to see you do more watch reviews because I think you are really good at it. Excellent. Well done :))
Je viens de re-expedier la montre chez Breitling.. Elle a la facheuse tendance à avancer trop vite.. De l'ordre de 2 minutes pour 12 heures. Ce qui est énorme.. Et le plus fort est qu'il va me falloir attendre entre 6 et 8 semaines pour la récupérer.. J'ai les boules..
brilliant video and review... all this while i was longing for the omega planet ocean...now i want this one too.. ooohhhh...when will i ever have the money to get these nice watches... lol..
13 and already a Breitling? Wow. You will never use the escape valve as that is for saturation diving aka diving really deep and spending time in a diving bell. It is automatic so there is nothing to do manually. In the owner's manual it explains about the escape valve.
aww coool :D this is my first watch i got it yesterday but its got a yellow ring instead of black and it has a metal bracelet :) im 13 :D and how does the escape valve work?
Thanks for your comments. I have since sold the Breitling but still have both bracelets. This was my first but will definitely not be my last breitling. I especially love the new caliber, the B01 that they have created, which will also be a basis for a non-chrono movement.
Really nice watch, good review. I think the Superocean looks really good but I am into bigger watches but at 42 mm is ok. I've got the Breitling Aeromarine Super Avenger (black dail) on the pro 2 bracelet with the bigger wings :). 48.4 mm and 18.6 mm thickness. But it got a simple movement Breitling 13 movement based on the Valjoux 7750 Movement. But still I love it really nice watch :D. -
@Strikehard92 I've seen this Superocean 2 in Black/Yellow in the flesh and I really like it. It's a very nice watch. The only thing that has stopped me is that I'm used to bigger watches. If it was 44mm and a Certified Chronometre with the B01 movement I'd be sold. I am about to buy an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean soon.
I apologize for the video quality or lack thereof, this is my first upload to youtube, I shot it in 720p. If interested, email me and I can send high res pics. Enjoy the review!!
you didn't show us how it lumes!a main reason to see if its worth the money!
