Tracking the A17375E71C1S1 reference, this Breitling Superocean 42 blue clone equips a stainless steel case with a blue sunray dial and a matching blue rubber strap. On the genuine watch, 300 meters of water resistance comes from a screw-down crown and a sealed case, with a unidirectional ceramic bezel calibrated for dive timing. This clone copies the 300M/1000FT dial print, but its own rating is 50 m: fine for rain and hand-washing, not for swimming. At this size, the case sits firmly in mid-range dive-watch territory, avoiding both the compact feel of sub-40mm pieces and the bulk of 44mm-plus alternatives.

The genuine Caliber 17 beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 38-hour power reserve; the clone Cal. Breitling 17 in this case holds about 36 hours. The bidirectional rotor winds the mainspring efficiently during regular wrist movement. For the bigger picture, see the Breitling 17 clone movement and its alternatives in our guide.

Cal. Breitling 17: Genuine Versus Clone

Breitling sources the Caliber 17 as a proven base movement across multiple Superocean references. It handles the time only, with no date and no chronograph complications, which keeps the case profile thinner than the chronograph variants in the same collection. The blue bezel insert matches the dial tone closely, creating a near-monochrome face that reads as a single unified surface from arm’s length. Set this alongside the A17376 blue 44mm Superocean, which keeps the blue dial and strap but switches to a black bezel and adds 2mm of case diameter. The full Superocean collection spans blue, black, silver, and green dial options across multiple case sizes.

Superocean 42 Blue Clone, Bezel to Strap

Blue-dial dive watches have become a staple across every major brand, but the Superocean’s execution stands on its own through the glossy bezel and rubber strap combination at a mid-range diameter. The monochrome blue approach from bezel through dial to strap gives this reference a cohesive identity that mixed-color configurations lack. This one puts a dive-watch design on your wrist without the visual noise of a chronograph or the heft of an oversized case.
