Brietling's Superocean watch
Brietling created history in 1957 with the launch of its Superocean maritime watch, especially crafted for professional and military divers. The latest version of the Superocean is an equally worthy sequel to the watch's five-decade-old history—youthful, modern and dynamic, with a stunning makeover. The bezel is rubber molded, enlivened by sloping numerals and a fluted pattern.

The strikingly distinctive dial boasts vigorous geometrical motifs with applied hour-markers and numerals standing out clearly against a matte black base. It is water resistant to 1,500 meters (5,000 ft) thanks to the ultra sturdy construction of its case, a screw-locked crown and an extremely sophisticated gasket system. It's powered by a self winding chronometer-certified movement and comes with super luminova coating for crystal clear visibility. Watch and learn. Price: Rs 1,40,924-Rs 1,61,559
