Breitling Superocean Automatic 42 A17375A51B2S1

The Breitling Superocean Automatic 42 A17375A51B2S1 combines the distinctive sporting character of the Superocean collection with an expressive rainbow luminescent design. Its 42 mm stainless-steel case is paired with a black dial, black ceramic bezel and black rubber strap to create a deep, cohesive aesthetic, while rainbow-gradient Super-LumiNova® hour markers and hands introduce a vivid contrast to the otherwise understated color scheme. This interplay of dark tones and bright accents preserves the robust character expected from a Superocean while giving the watch a more contemporary and recognizable identity. Limited to 200 pieces, it is particularly appealing to those looking for a sports watch with distinctive personality without appearing overly bold.

Product Features

• An All-Black Design with Striking Rainbow Contrast

The black dial, black ceramic bezel and black rubber strap establish a cohesive dark-toned foundation that makes the contours of the stainless-steel case appear even more defined. Rainbow-colored hour markers and hands become the visual focal point, standing out vividly against the dark background. Rather than relying on large areas of bright color, the design uses black to frame and emphasize carefully placed colorful details, creating a more restrained aesthetic that remains easy to coordinate with different styles.

• Rainbow-Gradient Luminescence Adds Distinctive Depth to the Dial

The oversized hour markers and hands feature Super-LumiNova® in yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, red and orange, creating a rainbow-gradient effect. In daylight, the individual colors stand out clearly against the black dial and introduce a richer visual rhythm to the functional sports-watch layout. As the light fades, the luminescent elements further emphasize the structure of the prominent hands and hour markers. Rather than functioning as decoration alone, the rainbow treatment is integrated directly into the Superocean’s focus on clear readability, giving the watch character without feeling forced.

• A 42 mm Stainless-Steel Case with Balanced Wrist Presence

The watch features a 42 mm stainless-steel case measuring approximately 12.56 mm thick, balancing the substantial presence expected from a sports watch with proportions suitable for everyday wear. The broad dial, prominent hour markers and solid case lines create a confident appearance on the wrist, while the clean overall profile prevents the watch from feeling unnecessarily bulky. The 42 mm dimensions also provide ample space for the black dial and rainbow details to make their full visual impact.

• A Black Ceramic Unidirectional Bezel Enhances the Overall Finish

The black bezel features a ceramic insert that flows naturally into the black dial and rubber strap, giving the watch a cohesive dark silhouette when viewed from the front. Clearly defined minute markings preserve the Superocean’s instrument-inspired character while adding structure around the dial. Ceramic offers strong scratch resistance, helping the bezel maintain its refined appearance through frequent wear. The ratcheted unidirectional mechanism also delivers positive mechanical feedback when operated, adding a satisfying tactile element to the experience.

• A Black Rubber Strap Balances Sportiness and Everyday Comfort

The black rubber strap continues the watch’s all-black theme and works naturally with the stainless-steel case and ceramic bezel to reinforce its sporting identity. Flexible and lightweight, rubber is well suited to warm weather, travel and extended everyday wear. Compared with a stainless-steel bracelet, it also reduces the watch’s visual weight, helping the 42 mm case appear cleaner and more streamlined on the wrist. The stainless-steel folding clasp offers up to approximately 15 mm of micro-adjustment, allowing the fit to be fine-tuned as needed.

• Double-Sided Anti-Reflective Sapphire Crystal Keeps the Black Dial Clear

The cambered sapphire crystal features anti-reflective treatment on both sides to help reduce reflections from sunlight and complex indoor lighting. This allows the black dial, rainbow hour markers and oversized hands to remain clearly visible. Sapphire also offers excellent scratch resistance, making it well suited to a frequently worn sports watch. On a design that relies heavily on the contrast between a dark background and colorful details, reduced glare further enhances the depth and visual impact of the dial.

• Superocean Slow Motion Design Heritage Creates a Distinctive Identity

This generation of the Superocean draws on the design language of Breitling’s 1960s Superocean Slow Motion, with a clean dial, oversized hour markers, distinctive squared-off hand details and a high-contrast layout contributing to immediate visual recognition. The A17375A51B2S1 builds on these historical elements with modern ceramic, an all-black color scheme and rainbow luminescence. The vintage inspiration never feels overly nostalgic; instead, it gives the contemporary sports-watch design a distinctive and recognizable foundation.

• A 200-Piece Limited Edition Adds Further Individuality

The A17375A51B2S1 is limited to 200 pieces, with “ONE OF 200” engraved on the stainless-steel caseback to identify its limited-edition status. Compared with standard Superocean colorways, this model combines an all-black aesthetic, rainbow-gradient luminescence and limited production in a single design, giving it both visual distinction and a stronger sense of exclusivity. For those already familiar with the Superocean collection, or anyone looking for a less common interpretation, this limited production adds another compelling dimension.

Summary

The defining appeal of the Breitling Superocean Automatic 42 A17375A51B2S1 is the carefully balanced contrast between its all-black appearance and vivid rainbow details. The 42 mm stainless-steel case, black ceramic unidirectional bezel, double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystal and black rubber strap establish a solid, contemporary sporting aesthetic, while the rainbow-gradient Super-LumiNova® hour markers and hands give the dark-toned watch a distinctive focal point without becoming excessive.

Compared with a conventional black sports watch, it offers greater visual personality; compared with designs dominated by bright colors, it retains the versatility and enduring appeal of an all-black aesthetic. Combined with its limited production of 200 pieces, this Superocean is not only a distinctive sports watch for everyday wear but also a compelling choice for those seeking a less commonly encountered edition.
