Hello everyone, lateley I have had an itch for a dive watch. Going all summer without one makes me want one in time for the water next summer. I have ben researching as I always do and keep bouncing between the tudor pelagos and the breitling superocean 44. Bolth close enough in price that thats not going to make the call for me and bolth beautiful in there own way . I am curious on some input on what is a better built watch that can handle a little abuse which will have a more reliable movement my bidget will only get me one. with some needed input I may actually pull the trigger before another summer passes me by. Thanks in advance .

The Superocean has a rubber insert, while it may look good on first sight it is not as durable as would breitling like to paint it, Pelagos' matt insert with luminova is superior. Both watches have ETA in them unless you purchase the new Pelagos with inhouse, Pelagos has superior bracelet too, I mean honestly that bracelet is one of the best in the world, that's how good it is. If I were you I would just grab Pelagos :)

Just bought the new Pelagos. I could not be more pleased with it.

I think I prefer the new style SuperOcean, sorry.

Having only recently tried on the Pelagos, it was a very nice watch!

I like my 8 year old Superocean Steelfish a lot.

Solid build, durable and comfortable.

Pelagos without doubt

I own a Superocean abyss and couldn't be happier with it.

It can dive to 5000ft/1500m so if it is for serious diving it can withstand it.

Lume is very bright

Superocean gets my vote
