Breitling Superocean watch

At 2017’s Baselworld Watch Fair, you must be impressed by the fact that Breitling and Tudor joined hands. Breitling supplied Caliber B01 for Tudor. In exchange, Tudor also provided Breitling with Caliber MT5612. It is generally known that there are such disparities between their brand positionings, so the skip-level cooperation confused me. In fact, it represents that Breitling won’t research and develop its own basic movements, and neither will Tudor. The advantage to this is that the cooperation can reduce the development cost and meet their product line. In short, it really kills two birds with one stone. It seems that a number of experts mind it. For most consumers, they are willing to spend money on good watches as long as they are of high quality, good look and good price.

Superocean Heritage Ⅰ vs Ⅱ

Superocean Heritage II 42 vs 46

Those who are familiar with Breitling style and brand positioning known that Breitling watches are full of hard lines and cool, and so is Breitling Colt 36 female watch, so it isn’t appropriate for fair ladies. There are different kinds of men’s watches. Comparing with Breitling Superocean series-diving tool watches, Breitling Superocean Heritage series stands out its classic elements. Generally speaking, the logo of Breitling Tool Watch is a capital B with a pair of wings, such as Navitimer series, Chronoliner series, Chronomat series, Avenger series and so on, while Superocean Heritage has a stereo gold B logo, simple but luxury. Breitling Superocean Heritage Ⅱ is available in two sizes-42 mm /46 mm. They inherited the main features of Superocean Heritage 42/46, but minor changes exist. For the hour hand, Superocean Heritage 42/46 has an arrow hand, while Superocean Heritage Ⅱ has a flat arrow within a slim line. The pencil-shaped minute hand was transformed into the sword-shaped one or the rhombic one. It’s clear that the date aperture was moved from three O’clock to six O’clock. With the ceramic bezel, Superocean Heritage Ⅱ is equipped with a Caliber B20, a modified Tudor Caliber MT5612. Its power reserve extends up to 70 hours. Comparing with Superocean Heritage watch with a Caliber B17-a modified ETA-2824-2, the latest generation has higher performance.

Tudor MT5612 vs Breitling B20

Available in 4 different dials and five kinds of straps, so it caused price variance from $ 3,389 to $ 4,050. Tudor Heritage Black Bay watch is equipped with Breitling Caliber B01. Breitling watch has discount, so its final price is close to Tudor Heritage Black Bay watch’s. Viewing from the brand positioning and polished B20, Breitling Superocean Heritage Ⅱ 42/46 is worth collecting. Besides, Breitling also supplies special tailor-made service. Your name can be printed on the watch, or you can assemble a characteristic watch according to your needs. In a word, I prefer Breitling Superocean Heritage Ⅱ 42/46 watch to Tudor Heritage Black Bay watch.

Tudor Heritage Black Bay watch

Unknown underwater world is full of exploration fun, but you would probably happen to meet unexpected danger if you don’t prepare well. A reliable diving watch can not only supply you with accurate time, but help you accomplish your wonderful journey. In addition to strong water resistance, its security also embodies another 5 specific functions.

FUNCTION ONE: ANTIDIOXIDANT AND FLEXIBLE WATCH BAND
Whether swimming or instrument operation under the water, we need flexible wrists. A diving watch fastening the wrist tightly is necessary at this time. Though many diving watches are equipped with metal bracelet, some chemical components in the sea may cause light corrosion. We had better replace a rubber band with good water resistance and corrosion resistance before we decide to dive. Nowadays, it’s a good option that some watch brands developed canvas or man-made fiber straps.

FUNCTION TWO: SCREW-IN CROWN
Which part does have water damage for a wristwatch? Absolutely the crown. Because the crown is the only part connecting the movement to the outside. In order to prevent the water through the crown into the machine, the screw-in crown with a waterproof rubber ring was developed by watchmakers. When the crown is screwed tightly, water will be insulated outside the watch. After upgraded, bigger fluted crown is more anti-skid and more convenient to operate under the water.

FUNCTION THREE: HELIUM ESCAPE
Helium Escape, which is used in professional diving watches(beyond 1000-Meter water resistance), is a professional function. When professional divers works in the deep sea, they have to stay the high pressure cabin. During that time, Helium molecules keep infiltrating the watch. Once they return to the land, the watch will explode if the high-pressure Helium can’t be escaped in a short time.

FUNCTION FORE: LUMINESCENT INDICATORS
You feel your longing for the light in the dark deepsea strongly, so all diving watches are equipped with bold luminous scales and hands in order that the users can see the time clearly and precisely. In the early days, watch hands and scales were coated with radium, but the material was quitted since it has too many radioactive elements. Nowadays, Super-LumiNova, good lightfastness and colorfastness, is used the most commonly.

FUNCTION FIVE: ROTATING BEZEL
The rotating bezel plays an important role in alerting the diver to the diving time. The bezel was marked with these scales-15, 30, 45 (also 60-minute scale). The first quarter is colored or marked specially since the diver observes a 15-minute safety stop to reduce stress during the rising period. Most of bezels are designed as unidirectional rotating bezel in order to prevent the delay time. The new built-in chronometer bezel without rotation direction limitation will be locked by screw-in crown before entering the water.

Highly recommend the following five diving watches.
