Nicknamed the “Steelfish,” this legendary model features a distinctive concentric textured dial that reflects light like the deep sea, one of the most over-engineered Breitling dive watches ever. Discontinued in 2012 and never reissued, it marks one of the final great Aeromarine-era Breitlings, finished in the rarest dial color of the trio: a clean, understated cream.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Cream dial is the heart of this piece, with concentric circular grooves that catch light and shift from soft ivory to warm vanilla, like the inside of a seashell. Unidirectional bezel keeps its sharp coin-edge knurling and crisp raised numerals at 15, 30, and 45, with a luminous pearl at 12 that’s fully intact and glows brightly. Brushed stainless steel Professional II bracelet wears like wrist-mounted armor, with parallelogram center links and a signed fliplock clasp for secure closure.

Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, date, and dive timing. The screw-down crown unscrews to two positions: the first for quick-set date, the second for hacking seconds and time-setting. Unidirectional bezel rotates counterclockwise only, aligning the lume pearl to the minute hand at dive start to track elapsed time. Offers 42 hours of power reserve, keeping the watch running for nearly two days off the wrist. Engineered for extreme depths, it carries a massive 2,000-meter water resistance rating, backed by an automatic helium escape valve for professional saturation diving.

Cream-dial Steelfish is built to tell a story, a big-watch, do-everything companion made for travel, adventure, and the quiet confidence of an instrument designed to outlive the deepest dive. Already own a black-dial diver? This Breitling is the no-brainer second piece, same toughness, with a totally different vibe and a face you’ll never mistake for anyone else’s.
