madcatlancelot 1 Posted February 25, 2012 The new Breitling Superocean Abyss is one of the new watches released in 2010. It's the latest model in the Superocean line and has a totally new look and a array of color schemes. I've seen Del's blue Abyss with his usual stunning photos and frigpig's teardown review of his white Abyss, and decided that I will be picking up this watch some time soon. I ordered the red Abyss having been undecided which color scheme to choose. The watch arrived few days ago and glad that I picked this watch. And without further intro, let me share you some photos of the Superocean Abyss red. Hot Singapore weather today, why not give the Abyss a bath... The Superocean Abyss has an excellent AR coating. The caseback is very well made, just like most of the rep Breitlings that came before. The rubber strap is thick and soft, the tang buckle has the embossed Breilting logo, and the usual vanilla smell from a certain factory. The bezel and the dial is a joy to look at. And of course, the mandatory wrist shot. Big thanks to Doris and Angus @ Puretime for picking this nice watch, this sure deserve's to be in Puretime's Bull's eye Zone. Hope you enjoyed the short photo shoot, thanks for reading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted February 25, 2012 These look good in blue, yellow & red. I like! I'm in 2 minds whether to mod my current SOSF or just grab an Abyss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madcatlancelot 1 Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks guys, the Abyss is an amazing watch in every detail. While the AP diver lacked the lume application in the rehaut, the Abyss has it. Lume shot added, very short exposure and still the lume glows like a torch. 1/15sec, F4, ISO1600. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crusader 0 Posted February 25, 2012 Great looking watch, really nice dial, easy to read. I would really have problems with deciding which dial to get if I would be buying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,497 Posted February 25, 2012 Very nice mate - love it in red too! I was looking at the gens earlier today in an AD's window thinking that my rep looks exactly the same! And the gen was circa £2.5k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneyjr 1 Posted February 25, 2012 Nice watch! I had the yellow, but sold it because I felt it was just a little too small... enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madcatlancelot 1 Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks guys, after wearing this for 3 days straight now, I'm glad i picked the red. I'll probably pickup a nato strap just for fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wagner 0 Posted February 26, 2012 looks great, thanks for the pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madcatlancelot 1 Posted February 27, 2012 thanks wagner! I got the nato strap that I have in mind to match the red Abyss, i think this combo looks nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HWG 11 Posted February 27, 2012 normally not a fan of nato, but that is a superb combo! Enjoy it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madcatlancelot 1 Posted February 27, 2012 thanks hwg, it's a thicker than normal nato strap that I picked up today, I saw a few color combo as well (yellow, blue, green, army green, gray middle accents). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dredd0606 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Love the nato! I think a mesh would look awesome as well. I guess I can pull the trigger on this one after all! - Dredd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jools 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Fantastic looking watch congratulations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madcatlancelot 1 Posted February 27, 2012 thanks guys and gals! This is a nice spring/summer watch with either the rubber or nato strap, a touch of color for a change from my mostly PAM collection. Lately I've been leaning towards smaller watches again, before the abyss came, I've been wearing the old seadweller. And i have a 42mm PO with orange numbers in the mail....the PAMs will take the back seat for now (ok, maybe just for a month). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghoststar 0 Posted February 3, 2014 Great watch. But I think this watch looks best on the bracelet. And I'm not a bracelet guy (and certainly not a polished bracelet guy). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frozen 0 Posted March 13, 2014 Any thoughts on a leather strap for this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
