How does the Colt Ocean compare to the SuperOcean?
For 2002, Breitling dropped the “Ocean” and the watch is now known as the Colt. The price was increased by $200 to $1,375 (on a Diver Pro strap) and is now only $250 less than a SuperOcean. This makes it seem like less of a deal than the previous model. Several changes were made to the dial, including the use of stick hour markers and an applied Breitling logo. The watch retains its water resistance rating of 500 meters vs. the SuperOcean’s 1,000 meters. The Colt’s sapphire crystal remains flat while the SuperOcean’s crystal is domed. The Colt’s case diameter is 38 mm and it is 13.20 mm high. Compared to the SuperOcean’s 41.50 mm diameter and 15.00 mm height, the Colt appears small and has less of a wrist-presence. The SuperOcean is fitted with an automatic helium escape valve while the Colt has none. For all practical purposes, the Colt might suffice. It will most likely be able to handle any diving activity you can throw at it. The smaller size of the Colt could even be an advantage
