BREITLING – Superocean Black - Blue DIVER 2019















BREITLINGSuperocean 48 Titanium and 46 Black Steel Collection DIVER Watch - 2019

When the first Breitling Superocean models were launched in 1957, they made it clear that there was a major new player in the diver’s watch market. These watches were distinguished by their exceptional performance, their quality, and their pure Breitling style. In the more than 60 years since, the family has remained a favorite, and a new Superocean Collection has been created to stand up to the rigors of the most challenging water sports.

With its new Superocean Collection, Breitling has updated and upgraded one of its best-loved and most successful watch families. Breitling Superocean watches have been highly regarded for their diving prowess for more than 60 years. While the members of the new collection reflect the brand’s deep-water DNA, they are certain to appeal to men and women with active lifestyles. With their clean, sporty design and impeccable performance, these new Superoceans will feel at home on any wrist and in any environment.

Breitling CEO Georges Kern points out that the watches reflect more than just the brand’s diver’s watch legacy: “Our Surfers Squad and our partnerships with Outerknown and Ocean Conservancy speak volumes about our affection for the seas. With the new Superocean Collection, we have created watches for people who want to explore the oceans, whether they are active in water sports or in clean-up initiatives. And, of course, they will excite any fan of Breitlings design values.


A Superocean for Every Wrist

At the heart of each member of the new Superocean Collection is the Breitling Caliber 17, a movement that offers a power reserve of around 38 hours. The watches – all of them COSC-certified chronometers – feature luminescent Super-LumiNova® numerals, indexes, and hands, ensuring excellent readability in any conditions.

The new Breitling Superocean Collection has been created in five different sizes, ensuring that there is an incredible diver’s watch ideally suited to every wrist.

The Superocean 48 is undeniably the conversation piece of the new collection. With its impressively oversized 48-millimeter DLC-coated titanium case and blue ceramic bezel, it instantly attracts attention. Yet a closer examination reveals that there is more to this watch than meets the eye: its soft-iron inner case offers protection against the effects of magnetic fields, while the rotating bezel can be safely secured with a lock on the left side of the case.

This timepiece comes on an all-new blue vented rubber strap. These vented straps are a boon for serious divers, since they counteract the effects that water pressure can have on straps at greater depths and ensure that the watch strap remains at the optimum tightness. The watch is also water-resistant to 30 bar (300 meters).

The Superocean 46 has, as its name suggests, a 46-millimeter case in black steel (DLC-coated stainless steel).

This big, bold watch is available with either a black or blue dial and a matching Diver Pro III rubber strap with a pin buckle or folding clasp. It has a ratcheted unidirectional bezel, an essential tool for the committed diver. The robust Superocean 46 is a true deep diver, water-resistant up to 200 bar (2000 meters).

The Superocean 44, with its 44-millimeter stainless-steel case, is available with either a black or blue dial and a choice of a matching Diver Pro II rubber strap or a stainless-steel bracelet. It has a ratcheted unidirectional bezel. The Superocean 44 is capable of joining you on all of your underwater adventures up to a depth of 100 bar (1000 meters).

It has a 36-millimeter stainless-steel case with a ratcheted unidirectional bezel and a choice of either a light blue or white dial and a matching Diver Pro II rubber strap or a stylish stainless-steel bracelet. The Superocean 36 is water-resis­tant up to 20 bar (200 meters).

Breitling, the Oceans, and You

The new Breitling Superocean Collection extends a legacy of more than six decades. While the first Superocean watches were designed with divers in mind, the new models – which are absolutely equal to the challenges of the deep seas – have a broader mission. They are as fashionable as they are sporty and will attract not only watch enthusiasts who are ready to explore the oceans’ depths, but also those whose adventures are a little closer to the shore.

Your own Breitling Superocean? Dive with it, surf with it, swim with it. Or wear it when you are helping keep our oceans and beaches clean, all safe in the knowledge that, however you might want to spend the rest of the day, your Superocean will fit right in.

Jacob & Co. Unveils Long-Term 
Partnership With Bugatti

Jacob & Co. is pleased to announce a long-term partnership with Bugatti, the world’s most celebrated high performance sports car manufacturer, to collaborate on a series of exclusive co- branded products. This partnership brings together two companies that share a passion for cutting-edge design, pushing the limits of what seems mechanically possible. Stephan Winkelmann and Jacob Arabo, the Presidents of Bugatti and Jacob & Co., officialized the partnership at Baselworld 2019.

For this project we found the right partner in Jacob & Co., because we are both absolutely dedicated to innovation with superb technology, absolute beauty, craftsmanship and the highest quality of the materials”, explained Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti, at the stand of Jacob & Co. at Baselworld.

When I look at a Bugatti Chiron, the perfectly refined engineering is so powerful that sometimes the car appears to be moving even when it is standing still”, Jacob Arabo, founder of Jacob & Co., added. “That’s the same feeling I get when I wear our high complication timepieces: a rush, a sense of energy, movement and power that can barely be contained.”

The partnership begins with a limited edition of the Jacob & Co. high complication masterpiece the Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti Edition. The original Twin Turbo Furious electrified Baselworld when it launched in 2018, with its breathtaking twin triple-axis tourbillons, column-wheel chronograph and decimal repeater. Designed with high performance sports cars in mind, the Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti Edition features turquois around the dial that pays homage to Bugatti’s 110 year anniversary Chiron, positions the Bugatti logo proudly and prominently in the center of the dial and renames the power reserve indicator “fuel” and sports the colors of the French flag on the gauge. Only 39 timepieces will be made, each individually numbered: 18 in carbon fiber, 18 in rose gold, and three with diamonds.

The partnership will also see the release of a special version of a sporty “Bugatti Chrono Edition Limitée 110 Ans” in a limited edition of 110 pieces to mark each year since the founding of Bugatti by Ettore Bugatti in 1909. The defining technical element of the Epic X Chrono is the Jacob & Co. JCAA05 skeletonized self-winding chronograph movement.

This high-end chronograph caliber is equipped with a column-wheel to launch the chronograph functions. Its counters are arranged in a bi-compax format, with the small running seconds on the left, at nine o’clock, and the elapsed minutes counter on the right, at three o’clock; the elapsed seconds are read on the central French flag red chronograph seconds hand.

The Bugatti version features a newly invented special forged carbon case and incorporates the colors of the French flag into its bold dial design underlining Bugatti’s heritage.

The timepiece comes on a special rubber strap inspired by the iconic rear bonnet of the Bugatti Chiron and will feature the iconic “EB”-logo on the buckle to commemorate the partnership.
