The Superocean is a highly acclaimed diving watch series from Breitling, which I am very fond of. The BlackSteel model discussed here is consistent in style, featuring a robust case design, strong dial lume, and a rubber strap—three essential elements of a super clone watch. The Breitling Superocean 44mm BlackSteel embodies these qualities perfectly. With its sleek black appearance, the super-lumed dial resembles the bright, piercing eyes of a black shark lurking in the deep sea. GF, or G Factory, is renowned for producing high-quality GP and U-Boat replica watches. The replica Breitling Superocean 44 is a masterpiece that combines advanced watch materials with expert craftsmanship. It is not only a 1:1 replica Breitling but also tested to be water-resistant up to 50 meters, making it suitable for swimming or diving.
The black case is particularly striking. Made from 316L stainless steel and treated with a black DLC coating, it measures 44mm in diameter and 15mm in thickness. The black DLC coating enhances its durability and toughness compared to other Superocean models. The brushed finish of the case provides a pleasant tactile experience. The bezel features a high-tech black ceramic insert with white diving markers and can be rotated unidirectionally. The solid case back is also brushed and features intricate engravings, and is tightly screwed down.
The dial is black with white hour markers and printings. The lume material applied to the hour markers and hands is white, giving a strong green luminescence in the dark. The second hand, with its orange arrow-shaped tip, remains clearly visible even in the depths of the sea. Although the replica is 44mm in diameter, I find the dial a bit crowded compared to the more spacious design of the Superocean Heritage II, which I reviewed earlier.
The black rubber strap has holes—do you like this design feature? It is made from high-quality rubber imported from Thailand, but I personally do not prefer the three holes on each side of the band. If it came with a black nylon strap, I would purchase one from the factory immediately. However, the buckle is satisfying, featuring a black DLC finish with a refined Breitling logo.
