Welcome back everybody today, we're going to be talking about a Breitling. This one's
going to be kind of designed and made for more the jet setter. If you would, this is going to
be the Breitling Transocean Day Date. Stick around and find out more about this watch.
Hey everybody, like I said today, we're going to be talking about this Breitling Transocean.
Now this is a watch that was originally launched. It was designed back in 1958,
and you'll notice that on when the, when they revived it back in 2012, and of course it is
still a current production model as of this video, but they took the design of the dial
straight from the OG. Straight from the one from 1958. It's got a very clean and smooth
design to it. A nice feel. It's not a very clouded dial. You know, it's not very busy. Like we see
on a lot of other watches, you know, primarily like the Navitimer now the Navitimer was built
and designed for pilots. You know, people that are actually going to be operating
the aircraft that need to be able to do measurements and calculations on the fly.
This is really more designed for passengers, you know, going outside the cockpit. And of course,
if you want to fly economy, they do have a stainless steel version, but this one right
here is an 18 carat rose gold. This is going to be our first class version of the Transocean.
Now it is a Day Date. So it's not just time only. It does not have a chronograph,
but it will let you know what time it is, what day of the week it is and what date it is.
And the month, of course you can manipulate all those different elements with the crown by itself.
And if you go with the stainless steel model, you can also get a bracelet for it. And the rose gold
version, I've seen it on leather straps as well as a rubber strap. So a little bit of variation.
And of course, because it's a 22 millimeter lug with the one of the standard sizes for Breitling,
you're going to be able to find a wide variety of different materials, colors, and links
so that you can actually get the feel and the look that you're going for now, the watch itself is a
43 millimeter case. Diameter is going to be the size of the watch. And when it first came out,
it was going to be a 35 millimeter size. And of course, back in the fifties,
that would have been a sizeable watch. But with the trends changing, you know, Breitling
definitely upped the ante a little bit and gave us a larger watch. When they rereleased it
now, the name Transocean you know, I mentioned flying, you know, obviously Breitling has a huge
affinity with flying. They've been a big part of Air culture and just the development over history,
but they actually, they, they came up with the name trans ocean
and they release it at a time when trans continental flight was kind of in the golden age.
It was the era of being able to fly across the ocean to different continents. And, and that was,
you know, during the time when the Navitimer was coming out, but this is for people. This
is just for, you know, someone that, you know, wants to have a nice watch. That's able to,
you know, go around the world. It's going to be a very smooth, elegant design. It's got a
high Polish finish through and through. So it's extremely classy and it's something that'll last
for a very long time. It does have an ETA based movement in it. And so it's going to have a 42
hour power reserve. It's got a hundred meters of water resistance. Again, this is, you know, the
strap may not be able to handle that, but if you, if you get caught in the rain or if, you know, if
for whatever reason water becomes a part of your life, you don't have to worry about your watch.
They do design these watches and build them with the end user in mind, meaning you and I.
And they want us to be able to enjoy the watch without having to be fearful of what might happen
to it. So it does have a pretty excessive amount of water reserve based on what the
watch is intended to be used for. Now, it is a pretty thin watch. It only comes in at 12.8
millimeters thick. So it does sit very clean on the wrist. It feels nice. And of course
it does have an 18 karat rose gold buckle to go with it. And if you go to stainless steel,
obviously you'd have a stainless steel buckel or the bracelet. If you have any more questions
