FEATURED: The BREITLING Superocean Heritage ’57 Pastel Paradise Capsule Collection

What started as a 1950s divers’ watch has now evolved into a trendy summer timepiece. Breitling states that it is their latest seasonal creation "for women". Well kind of an objectionable old-school gender classification in my opinion.  At 38mm and with this fresh palette of pastels, the new Breitling Superocean Heritage ’57 Pastel Paradise Capsule Collection could add some summer fun to any wrist.

“This modern-retro tribute to the original Breitling SuperOcean is an exciting addition to the Breitling family of ladies’ watches. Of course, it’ll look great at work, but its fun-in-the-sun vibe might make you want to spend a weekend at the beach,” says Breitling CEO Georges Kern, noting how the highly-coveted original was a nod to the rising popularity of seaside leisure in the 1950s and 1960s. That laid-back vibe is reflected in the sunny dials of today’s Pastel Paradise – enjoying the moment with your hair blowing in the breeze.

Featuring a stainless-steel case with a rotating bezel with those bold indices, the new Breitling Superocean Heritage ’57 Pastel Paradise Capsule Collection would most certainly up your summer style quotient.The palette for this collection is summer white, aquamarine, mint green, and iced latte – all with tone-on-tone dials, bezels, and straps. Here's a thought. Have the names of watch collections/colours ever enticed you more than the watches themselves? I think I'm having one of those moments here, particularly with that iced latte!

The show-stopper or attention seeker, call it what you may is the rainbow tangerine version of the Breitling Superocean Heritage ’57 Pastel Paradise Capsule Collection. With hour markers and hands coated in Super-LumiNova®, it sings in hues of yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, red, and orange. And if you are looking for a custom colour combination, you’ll will surely enjoy the quick-exchange system for swapping out the luxe Saffiano calfskin leather straps, which also come in lemon and raspberry sorbet. Do you see what I mean about those names now? Tell me you aren't craving a lemon or raspberry sorbet right this very minute!

Oh well, let's come back the collection in focus here. At the heart of each watch beats the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 10 with a power reserve of about 42 hours. Now although the watches may seem like mere aesthetic delights, they are water-resistant up to 100 meters.

The new Breitling Superocean Heritage ’57 Pastel Paradise Capsule Collection will be produced for a limited time during this summer season only. Although it's currently raining down on us right now, it's got to be summer somewhere.
