Superocean Automatic 44
The Breitling Superocean Automatic 44 is a dive watch with enough dial presence to make its size feel purposeful, especially in the square-minute-hand generation introduced in 2022. That broad hand and the contrasting minute track give it a distinctive face without sacrificing the quick reading you want from a diver.
Look for A17376 if that design is what draws you in: its rectangular markers and ceramic bezel take their cues from Breitling’s 1960s Superocean Slow Motion, though this is a conventional automatic, not a chronograph. The earlier A17367 has prominent Arabic numerals and a busier, more overtly sporting dial; it is worth distinguishing the two before choosing.
On the newer watch, pay particular attention to how the broad dial and minute track sit on your wrist. The visual footprint is substantial even by 44mm standards, and that generous display is part of the attraction—not something the design tries to disguise.
What owners love
- On the A17376, the broad hands and oversized markers make the time easy to pick out at a glance. Owners who like the square-ended minute hand appreciate that it gives the dial a distinctly different look from earlier Superoceans.
- The rubber strap is a frequent favorite for comfort: it keeps the substantial 44mm case planted without making the whole watch feel as heavy as it does on the bracelet.
Common Criticisms
- The square-ended minute hand on the A17376 is divisive. Some owners find it visually awkward and prefer the more conventional hands and Arabic numerals of the A17367.
- The roughly 38-hour power reserve of the Breitling 17 is a recurring gripe. Owners generally find the movement dependable, but wish it ran longer between wears.
