Which style features should you consider in a Superocean watch?

The Superocean range is sporty, yet simple, with a retro look and a collection of bezels. If you want to achieve the delicate balance between elegance and simplicity, the Breitling Superocean black delivers. If you prefer understated bling, the Breitling Superocean rose gold model travels easily from the office to the ocean. If you love a sporty look, a leather or rubber strap dresses the aesthetic down to something altogether more casual. If you’re a purist, a metal chronograph will keep your inner traditionalist happy. Horology enthusiasts can treat the Chronograph 42 as an investment item. It has a rubber moulded bezel and one of the most elegant faces of the Breitling range. It also has a 1/100th seconds track for keeping up with your sporting achievements. 

Why buy a pre-owned Breitling Superocean watch?

Breitling is an investment brand, so it’s worthwhile to navigate the second-hand market in search of the perfect piece. Choosing a pre-owned watch gives you access to rare timepieces that are difficult to source. Modern watches tend to have larger faces, so if size is a factor, check that your watch exceeds 40 mm. Some buyers acquire their dials and straps separately, an intelligent way to leverage smaller second-hand collections. Older, more valuable timepieces require plenty of love, so service yours every six years. A reputable dealer may also be able to restore your timepiece’s original functionality. The work involved is well worth it if you’re hoping for a generous return on investment.
