Superocean Chronograph M2000

In Context

At 44 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. At 19.1 mm it is very tall, and sits high off the wrist. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 2000 m is a professional diving rating, far past any demand a wrist is likely to make of it.

It is quartz, so it will hold time far more closely than any mechanical watch here, and asks for a battery every few years rather than a service.

A73310A8.BB73.160A stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black dial with a stainless steel case. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.

Built on the ETA 251.264 — earlier examples used the 251.232 — and run as SuperQuartz, meaning thermocompensated and COSC-certified. Alongside the temperature correction it carries Breitling's PowerDrive, which drives the hands at up to 200 steps per second so that multi-function displays reset quickly rather than crawling round the dial.
