For sale is my much loved 2000 Breitling SuperOcean Professional (SOP) with full kit (incoming requires funds):
Price: $2000 CND, including insured shipping in Canada by Canada Post (US price may differ depending on buyer location)
When this watch was introduced in 1999, it was one of the first watches to be waterproof to 1524 meters/5000ft, remarkable for such a tidy case design. It beat the then-current champ, the Rolex Sea Dweller, which was rated to 4000 feet. The Professional model was only sold for a couple of years.
It remains a classic dive watch, with flush helium valve at 10:00 position on the case side, and is fitted with the Pro 1 bracelet with raised cushion shaped center links, and screwed link pins. The clasp has a divers extension.
The lume still shines as brightly as when I first purchased it, and has not yellowed. The Arabic numerals make it easy to read the time at night, and the brushed stainless steel hands on the black face are extremely legible, especially around dusk.
The watch has just returned from its second 5 year service at the Canadian Breitling Service Center, and looks almost new. I purchased a brand new bezel which is on the watch. The watch has only been worn a couple of times since the service.
The watch will come with everything that I received at purchase, including the Breitling ball cap, hang tag, Breitling pin, and both service invoices, the latter with timing test results.
The watch runs about -1 sec on my wrist, but will gain time overnight if left crown down.
This is a classic Breitling dive watch, in excellent shape, and difficult to find in this condition. The only major mark is a small ding on the chimney at the 52 sec mark, which shows clearly in one of the photos. The exterior AR coating was removed some years ago due to a few scratches, but the crystal is in perfect condition. Other marks seen on the case or bracelet are just fingerprints. There are no significant dings or scratches. Aside from the small ding, I would rate the watch an easy excellent.
The watch has a brushed finish, and will include a used but decent condition Pro Diver strap.
