SteelFish, men's watch

I've owned this for over 10 years and it never ceases to amaze me.

Very nice, I picked up the later version, the one with the arrow tipped second hand. Liked it so much I got the white and blue. Later I got some of the last ones made. They were available in the Breitling company store in Woodbury NY. Yellow for my wife and orange for my son! They both love them!

Cool.

Those orange and yellow were probably Avenger II Seawolfs though. This model came only in blue, black and white. Cheers.

The superocean steel fish x-plus may have only come in blue, black, and white but the superocean steel fish came in blue, black, white, yellow and orange. Mine are superoceans, definitely not Avenger II Seawolfs!

Had this model back in the day, seeing this pic makes me wish I never let it go! The Steelfish is a great all purpose watch.

I to have owned mine for 10 years. I bought mine while on a cruise in January of 2009.
I remember it well, I bought it, came home, went back to work for a week and got laid off due to the economy imploding.

Same... it all started for me with the Steelfish for my first Swiss automatic watch.

Had the silver dial 42mm on the pro I bracelet. I traded it in (partial) for a Panerai 164M which was traded for a PAM312 which I traded in for a 2014 BLNR which got traded for a SD4K which ultimately got used to help acquire the 116619LB.
