A17365D1 is the ultimate companion for demanding water sports activities and a striking presence in everyday life.

• Solid 42 mm case in satin-finished stainless steel: The case made of high-strength stainless steel impresses with its functional, contoured appearance. Despite its extreme resistance to pressure, the optimized case height ensures a surprisingly comfortable fit on the wrist.

• Rubberized, unidirectional rotating diving bezel: The fluted stainless steel bezel is fitted with a molded vulcanized rubber insert. The recessed white numerals and markings ensure maximum grip and excellent legibility of dive time.

• Functional dial with 24-hour scale: The dial, usually in deep Black or marine Blue, stands out with large printed Arabic numerals and an additional inner 24-hour scale. The generous hands and hour markers are coated with luminous material for perfect visibility in the dark.

• Automatic Breitling 17 calibre (COSC-certified): Powering the watch is the extremely reliable automatic Breitling 17 calibre, based on the proven ETA 2824-2 / Sellita SW200-1. The movement is officially certified by the COSC as a chronometer, beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), and offers a power reserve of approximately 38 hours.

• Automatic helium escape valve & extreme pressure resistance (500m / 50 ATM): A safety valve integrated into the side of the case at 9 o’clock automatically releases helium gas during decompression in pressure chambers. Together with the screw-down crown, this guarantees water resistance of up to 500 meters.

• Scratch-resistant, double-sided anti-reflective Sapphire Crystal: The slightly domed Sapphire Crystal features highly effective anti-reflective treatment on both sides. This virtually eliminates distracting reflections above and below water.

• Professional III stainless steel bracelet or Ocean Racer rubber strap: The professional diver is available either on the sporty satin-finished three-row Professional III stainless steel bracelet with a safety folding clasp or on the distinctive Breitling rubber strap (Diver Pro / Ocean Racer).

• Refined diving watch classic (2019): As a sought-after example from 2019, reference A17365D1 represents the pinnacle of the Superocean II generation. A robust, exceptionally value-retaining tool-watch classic for enthusiasts of distinctive Swiss sports watches.
