This rare Breitling SuperOcean 42 was produced to commemorate the Coronation of King Charles III. It was made for those serving as part of, and closely associated with, the ‘Royalty and Specialist Protection’ Unit (RaSP), as part of a limited production run of 189 pieces. The specialist Unit provides close protection to members of the British Royal Family, Government Ministers, including the Prime Minister, and visiting Heads of State.

The dial of this exceptional limited edition wristwatch displays the King’s cypher and the case back is engraved with the Coronation Emblem which pays tribute to The King’s love of the natural world. The centre seconds hand also has a purple tip, a colour synonymous with Royalty.
