Breitling Superocean Heritage: Design, Features & Price

As a specialist in chronographs, Breitling has played an essential role in technical development. For example, the company invented two independent pushers and belongs to the exclusive circle of watch brands that own their own chronograph movements. The various high-performance manufacture calibers feature useful and user-friendly functions, such as groundbreaking second time zone and world time systems. To meet the absolute quality standard for mechanical movements, Breitling has equipped all its electronic models with SuperQuartz movements that are ten times more precise than a standard quartz.

To qualify for the coveted designation of officially certified chronometer, the movement must meet seven extremely strict selection criteria. For example, the average daily rate deviation must not exceed the value of -4/+6, which equates to a rate precision of 99.99%. Only 5% of all watches manufactured in Switzerland are chronometer-certified.

Timeless design & avant-garde concept

Breitling has broken new ground in the manufacture of its chronograph movements, drawing inspiration from an avant-garde concept used in other high-end segments.

“Made for the world of exploration and discovery” (Source: Rolex)

Explorer I and II: design, features, prices

Since the 1930s, Rolex has supplied Oyster wristwatches to many expeditions. The feedback of the expedition participants is evaluated after a trip. The Oyster Perpetual models Explorer and Explorer II are included and improved under the category “Professional”. The knowledge gained from the Everest expedition and other experience reports finally led Rolex to launch the watches in 1953. Some time later, the model was further enhanced by an extremely durable case and a dial that is easy to read even in adverse environmental conditions. Over the years, many researchers, mountaineers and scientists have become Rolex brand ambassadors. They broke records with the Explorer or Explorer II, tested their endurance and put their courage to the test.

Design: Dial, Chromalight, Oystersteel

The Rolex Explorer range of watches are function watches, designed to display the time in all situations. Despite the simple design, the watches have a very legible black dial with large indices and the typical numbers 3, 6 and 9. Even at night or in lightless places, the Explorer can be relied upon. Its Chromalight hands and indices are coated with a blue, long afterglow luminous material and ensure optimum readability even in the dark. With the introduction of the Explorer II in 1971, the successor model continues the privileged relationship that links Rolex and the world of exploration and discovery. The Explorer II has a date display, an additional orange 24-hour hand and a 24-hour graduated bezel that allows day and night to be clearly distinguished.

Features: Durable, waterproof, multifunctional

The Explorer series is known to withstand extreme conditions. In addition there are some helpful features like: An additional arrow-shaped 24-hour hand on the Explorer II takes one day to circle around the dial and marks the time on the engraved fixed bezel. It can show a second time zone or indicate the time in 24-hour intervals.

The Explorer and Explorer II models are made of Oystersteel stainless steel. The stainless steel specially developed by Rolex belongs to the “904L stainless steel” grade – an alloy that is mostly used in high technology applications such as the chemical industry. Stainless steel Oystersteel is extremely durable, has an exceptional shine after polishing and retains this even under extreme conditions.

The Explorer models are waterproof: the Twinlock winding crownI is equipped with a double sealing system consisting of two seals, one inside the tube and the other in the winding crown. This system is used in most of the watches in the Oyster Perpetual collection, which are guaranteed to be water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters.

Models: Explorer & Explorer II

The two successful models Explorer and its successor Explorer II differ in a few essential features. First of all: the price. While the Explorer starts at 5900 Euro, its successor model is already at 7600 Euro.
