\New Release: Breitling Superocean Automatic 42 and 36 Rainbow Dial Watches



Just in time for summer, Breitling has unveiled a series of colorful dive watches to enjoy the sun, surf, and sand. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Breitling’s Rainbow Candy dial—it appeared on the Superocean Heritage ’57 collection a few years ago—but this is the first time it’s been paired with a Superocean Automatic model. Available in two sizes, two metals, and a few colored rubber straps, there are five Breitling Superocean Automatic 42 and 36 Rainbow Dial watches to choose from.

The new generation of the vintage-inspired Superocean Automatic collection, launched in 2022, features a bold minute track around the edge of the dial, thick hour markers, and a paddle-shaped minute hand. The rainbow treatment, however, covers the hands and hour markers in a range of Super-LumiNova hues (yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, red, and orange).

Aside from the new white and black dials with rainbow accents, these new Superocean Automatic 42 models are identical to those already in the catalog. That said, they come in a 42mm case (12.56mm thick, 47.76mm between lugs) and are water-resistant to 300 meters. Breitling has chosen to make all of the Rainbow editions in stainless steel, paired with a ratcheted bezel with a black ceramic inlay. Complementing the vibrant dials are equally striking rubber straps, available in turquoise (reference A17375211B2S1), aquamarine (reference A17375211B2S2), orange (reference A17375211B2S) and yellow (reference A17375211B2S4), all with stainless steel folding clasps.

If the 42mm model represents a crowded beach with colorful umbrellas, beach balls, and towels, then the Superocean Automatic 36 (reference number U17377211A1S1) seems to me more like a luxurious poolside experience, lounging in a cabana with white curtains blowing in the wind while sipping chilled champagne. The 36mm stainless steel case (12.21mm thick, 42.41mm between lugs, water-resistant to 300 meters) is topped with an 18k red gold bezel with white ceramic inlays. There’s also a red gold winding crown. The all-white dial includes the same gradient luminous hands and indices, but they don’t seem as striking as those on a black background. The petite version comes with a white rubber strap and stainless steel folding clasp.

The Superocean Automatic 42 and 36 rainbow dial watches house a COSC-certified Caliber 17 automatic movement (based on the ETA 2824-2) that beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of approximately 38 hours.

Commenting on the new creations, Breitling CEO Georges Kern said: “With summer just around the corner, our colorful new Superocean watches are the ultimate companions, whether you’re surfing or enjoying dinner by the sea.”
