The ocean pilot

Black and white aviator-type watches ensuring excellent readability are well-known instruments and divers are now being treated to their very own “ocean pilot” featuring a black steel case, black ceramic bezel and a black dial bearing large luminescent indications enabling them to plunge safely to a depth of 1,000 m (3,300 ft). The art of combining originality and efficiency.

Since 1957, Breitling Superocean models have been distinguished by their exceptional performance combined with an eminently technical and professional style. The new Superocean 44 Special confirms this resolutely feats-oriented vocation through an original design in which every detail is designed to meet the demands of an authentic diver’s watch.

The sturdy satin-brushed black steel case, fitted with a twin-gasket screw-locked crown, guarantees water resistance to a depth of 1,000 m (3,330 ft). It is equipped with a safety valve serving to equal out the differences in pressure inside and outside the watch.

The brand-new rotating bezel in shiny black ceramic, a particularly resistant high- tech material, guarantees an accurate dive-time count-off. Its unidirectional rotating system avoids any inadvertent extension of the measured time in case of wrong handling, while the ratcheted profile ensures an optimal grip even with gloves.

The powerful contrast between the all-black exterior and the white indications, accentuated by a luminescent coating, ensures optimal readability in the darkness of the oceans. All the markers are strongly oversized so as to catch the eye: large baton-type hands clearly distinguishing the hours from the minutes, different- shaped hour-markers for five-minute intervals, quarters and 12 o’clock; and a bezel with 60-minute scale also highlighting five-minute intervals, quarters and 12 o’clock.

Thanks to the red-tipped seconds hand with its small luminescent triangle, the diver can at any stage check at a glance whether the movement is operating. The sapphire crystal glareproofed on both sides further facilitates readings even in the heat of action.

Equipped with a 44 mm-diameter case, the Superocean 44 Special houses a selfwinding movement officially chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), the only precision and reliability benchmark based on an international norm. It is teamed with a black rubber strap featuring Breitling’s signature and raised central ridge, or a row of holes.

HYSEK – Abyss Automatic Tourbillon Edition















HYSEKABYSS 44mm Automatic Tourbillon Limited Edition NEW


THREE ABYSS MODELS MARK 
THE ADVENT OF A NEW DECADE OF CREATIVITY

The tenth anniversary celebrations of Hysek’s landmark Abyss collection (2005-2015) were scarcely over when the manufacture announced the first models for the next decade: the new Abyss Automatic Tourbillon collection.


Three new models are being unveiled at Baselworld. The first has a rose gold case and the second a titanium case, while the third and final version features a case combining rose gold and black PVD. Each of the variations embodies the quintessence of the Hysek style: powerful lines, a bold design, assertive creativity, and particular attention to the smallest detail, with all finishings completed to the highest standards of fine watchmaking.

Transparency and geometry

The new Abyss collection is powered by an automatic tourbillon calibre. The watch’s aesthetic balance is bound up with this regulating component located at 10 o’clock – an unusual position in traditional watchmaking, but one for which Hysek has a predilection, thus asserting its complete creative independence. This is balanced by a double large date disc made from a special aluminium alloy, placed opposite at 2 o’clock. The timepiece also features a power reserve indicator at 7 o’clock.

To highlight the aesthetics of this subtle composition, Hysek has used a sapphire dial, set snugly around the edges of the tourbillon and large date display. The sculpted half-moon-shape sapphire crystal reveals the intimate details of the in-house movement – the HW03A calibre.
The new Abyss models offer breath-taking views of their mechanical innards, powered by a highly skeletonised tourbillon, with a ‘flying’ design to avoid an upper bridge obstructing the view. A large golden balance wheel contrasts with the movement’s anthracite NAC finish.

The crescent-moon-shaped cut-out in the sapphire dial is highlighted by an appliqué arc that links the different functions of the timepiece, reaching from the tourbillon to the power reserve, via the large date display – a unifying feature of the Abyss that provides both aesthetic and technical coherence. The appliqué features a dark grey angle-polished finish, showing off the chamfers – gold- or rhodium-plated, depending on the version.

Details for expert purists

Purists will delight in spotting all the details of watchmaking art visible throughout the new Abyss. For instance, Hysek is one of the very few manufactures to design and produce its own hands in-house. There are two distinct kinds for the Abyss.

The first is dedicated to the central time display: depending on the case finishes, they are either golden or rhodium-plated, with SuperLumiNova infills. Meanwhile the power reserve hand embodies characteristic attention to detail with genuine 3D sculpting – a contemporary, exclusive design that’s dear to Hysek’s heart.

On the rear, the new Abyss collection boasts a fully skeletonised oscillating weight, borne on ceramic ball bearings by a rhodium-plated 22-carat gold insert sporting Hysek’s five distinctive circular openings. The same motif is also to be found on the manufacture’s proprietary – and legendary – swivel lugs. These are an integral part of the firm’s DNA, ensuring its timepieces always fit snugly on the wrist and providing the last word in comfort. Hysek’s CEO, Mr Akram ALJORD himself, guarantees the individual quality of each of these three editions of 88 timepieces: the sapphire back of each of the new Abyss Automatic Tourbillon watches bears his signature.
