Beautiful watch.. honestly can't understand how Breitling created that new SuperOcean.. The one you have has genuine personality.. the new ones look like from a microbrand
I must admit, this video helped me pull the trigger on this watch! I was looking at the white 42 but the way you described this timepiece, just made me dive right in (no pun intended). I'm waiting for my watch to be delivered to the Breitling King of Prussia boutique because they were sold out when I went to go get it. I think I've watched this video 12 times start to finish since I've ordered it and will probably watch it a couple more times over the weekend! Great review and keep up the good work!
I hope you're enjoying this beautiful piece! I know I am! The blue on this dial, the beautiful light play on the AR coating with the blue hue, and the ridiculous lume always bring a smile to my face.
@@steelsteez6118 yes, I definitely am!It makes me smile too and I just bought the mesh rubber strap that goes great with it. Congratulations on your great purchase!
Thanks to your vid ended up going with one in Tokyo. They had a limited run of this for Japan of 300 units. The most noticeable feature is the yellow on the second hand. Very cool.
I have the Superocean II 44mm with blue dial and bezel I love it it's pretty much my daily driver. I bought it with a blue rubber dive strap but I then bought the correct genuine steel bracelet for it.
My biggest issue with these new SOs is that Breitling has somehow figured out a way to drive me crazy in picking the one I want the most! I have 3 Breitlings so far and have a feeling I won't be adding just 1 of these new SOs! Thanks a lot Brietling! Great video by the way!
Me too lol, except I'll pass the white dial as I owned that previously. I currently have the black dial on bracelet, now it's a choice between blue or orange!
Don’t understand what Breitling was thinking with the new model! Should have added that as a Heritage piece next to SOH2. This watch with current SO Clasp and Ceramic bezel would have been perfection!
Excellent review thanks (just subbed), and I share your sentiments about this watch. I've owned the white dial on rubber, then sold it to buy the black dial SO on bracelet. I've owned it for 6 months now, but it gets more and more wrist time against my other watches. The dial really pops with the AR coating, the enlarged arabics and chunky handset give it a really eye catching look. There are a few areas where they could improve it further. 1) The date wheel is not colour matched to the dial - not an issue with the white dial version. 2) I have to push down quite hard to lock my clasp in place, but probably just an issue with my particular watch. 3) The presentation box is a bit underwhelming for a luxury watch, but I can live with that :) I don't really mind the shortish power reserve as I wear as part of a rotation. I'm considering adding another to my collection, either the blue or the orange.
I think the white date window looks way better on this watch (and the Black one) than it would in watching colors. It balances the dial nicely with the 9 o clock index number. Otherwise it would be a big "empty" space.
I picked up this new version of the Superocean, in black, when it first came out to finally replace my vintage Sub. This new Superocean was actually available to purchase, has a more reasonable price than the Sub, and in my opinion has a totally cool design. I would have preferred an in-house movement like in the Superocean Heritage, but I chose the more modern case design of this watch. Anyway, the movement is still a certified chronometer.
The super ocean 42 with white dial and blue bezel is my grail watch. Currently saving for it and hopefully it will be on wrist in about 2 years time. Great video!
No B-roll shots, I used all the footage I shoot (try not to have any extra/unused footage). I am using a Sony A7IV and a Sigma 105 Macro ART for everything I shoot. Thank you!
Really struggled between this and the Omega SMP300. Ultimately chose the SMP but sometimes wish I'd gone with the Breitling. The SO42 wears so nicely... just an awesome watch and great review!
Avenger 43 is a bit longer on the lug to lug, but if you have a larger wrist go for it. The SO 42 actually wears quite small as the watch face itself is only 30mm or so.
Hell yeah

your journey of pulling the trigger is so long bruh😂
My first entry level "luxury" watch. Love it!!! I need the Navitimer and Chronomat B01 now.

I bought both the Blue and White dial SuperOcean 42 watches Absolutely look incredible.
I love the white dials! They’re a great alternative to the white dial Seamaster

Just an amazing watch. 🔥 Surprisingly, I like the white dial model the most.
The white dial is awesome! The numerals look killer on it
It is the most maritime looking for sure....
i bough the white dial 42mm version while on a cruise. the ship store offered 15% discount and no tax. i love the watch!
Great pickup!

Thanks for watching and subscribing! The AR coating on these is nuts and it really does make the dial pop…there’s nothing distracting you

One of the best things and how it should be...pop into the store and be able to buy it on the spot.
Congratulations

Thank you! Hope you get it soon!
This video is absolutely stunning! Are you planning to do a B-roll shot & list of gear used? Superb quality, keep up the good work!
No B-roll shots, I used all the footage I shoot (try not to have any extra/unused footage). I am using a Sony A7IV and a Sigma 105 Macro ART for everything I shoot. Thank you!
@@WatchClicker thanks a lot! I might have confused the concept of B-roll shots with behind the scenes... I meat the latter :)
Ah - yeah I really need to do a BTS video of some sort. The hard part is finding the time haha!
@@WatchClicker I think that content would sell like the latest iPhones! Hope you'll find that time under the pillow or somewhere deep in a drawer :D
Good review of the Superocean . A great offering from the big B.
Thank you
Really struggled between this and the Omega SMP300. Ultimately chose the SMP but sometimes wish I'd gone with the Breitling. The SO42 wears so nicely... just an awesome watch and great review!
The SM is definitely more "classic" looking, you can't go wrong with either!
They squeeze the 500m rating into a 13.3mm case by keeping the reserve time at the base 38hrs. No space for a larger main spring needed in there.
It's funny too because neither the huge WR rating or power reserve matter to me haha. Cut it down to 200 meters and make it thinner!
Beautiful watch
Picking my black dial SO42 on Friday
Congrats! Great choice
I went on their website and can't find the watch (BREITLING WEB) what's up with that?
Awesome Video!
Thank you!
Awesome!! Subscribed. BSO is tops on my list💯
Thank you!
Incredible Video!
Thanks a lot!
Now if they only made the all yellow dial in 42? That would be a first day purchase for me
Yeah I think the yellow is 44 only but I could be wrong
@@WatchClicker only yellow sadly
Got this watch it's my daily wear love it 🙂
Great choice!
This looks amazing
Thanks Everett!
Omega Seamaster boring ? I don’t think so. However this is a very nice watch indeed.
Still up in the air about this watch or the Avenger 43.
same as we speak... buying the avenger 43 blue but very tough
SuperOcean is more my style, but the Avenger is great too
Avenger 43 is a bit longer on the lug to lug, but if you have a larger wrist go for it. The SO 42 actually wears quite small as the watch face itself is only 30mm or so.
Wish they didn't use the comic sans font for the 6,9,12
I love it! It's different and not so serious and boring
Haha, I don't know that I'd call it Comic Sans, but at least it is something different.
I like comic sans
W[ooooo!
Woop Woop!
42 is to small i think for men..... for men minimum 44, 46 is better
Too many watches are copying rolex models so yea we all know which is the Best
I don't see how this is copying a Rolex but ok
Looks nothing like a Rolex you bafoon
You so Rolex influence in this design? Bamboozled by boring brand R
So nice to be a broke watch enthusiasts who can't even save up for a good watch
Just another overpriced Shiteling
