Superocean Steelfish

The Breitling Superocean Steelfish is a beautiful and natural evolution of the original Breitling Superocean launched in 1957. Like all Breitling, this model is also COSC-certified. It is a true diver's watch and boasts a water resistance of up to 2000 meters (6,600 ft). Overall, the Steelfish represents the Breitling brand holistically and stands its ground firmly. It is desired by divers and non-divers alike and worn by celebrities all over the world.

The Steelfish is, as per the COSC certification a chronometer which in itself says a lot. COSC ("Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres") is a non-profit organization that prides itself on providing precision-result driven certificates. The laboratories within COSC are the only ones of their kind in the world. They produce more than 1 million certificates per year, which is only a small part (3%) of the total Swiss watch production.

The Steelfish has a total of 25 jewels to assist as jewel bearings. Jewel bearings are till this day used as mechanisms to reduce friction and wearing of the pivots. Though not as evident today, jewel bearings often had the rare properties of gold, platinum or palladium. Most watches using jewel bearings today tend to use laboratory manufactured jewels to reduce cost.

The case is cut from one solid block of steel, while the crown and case-back are solidly screwed on. The crystal is cambered sapphire and glareproof on both sides. The case-back is stunningly engraved and very few watch makers tend to be such detailed perfectionists. Aesthetically Breitling has always managed to find the perfect balance between beauty and technical workmanship and the Steelfish is particularly attractive in its market class. Honestly, one could talk about any Breitling watch with the same passion and respect as all their time pieces seem to be the victors in their respectable market section.

The Breitling Steelfish is like al Breitling not for the young crowd, but rather for the more 'matured' demographic. It is definitely a mature watch without any embargo whatsoever. It is truly a time piece for anyone with a sense of character and elegance. Should you want to acquire a
Superocean Steelfish on the internet I definitely suggest sites like Rupulati.com or Amazon.com, as the watches you'll find there are authentic and with their serial numbers intact. Other than that you should be cautious of purchasing any so-called Breitling products over the internet.
