Rollin’ In the Deep: Breitling’s ‘Wheels and Waves’ Gets Us Back on Board(s) With A New SuperOcean

I have a confession: the water isn’t my friend.

Armin Strom Orbit Manufacture Edition: The Subtle Difference Is Black

When I was 10 years old, my parents drove about four hours south from Philadelphia to a town just outside of Richmond, Virginia to take me to an amusement park called ‘King’s Dominion’ for the weekend. We weren’t exactly a ‘watch-collecting family’, if you catch my drift, but this was a big deal because it was just them and me — the three of us — so it didn’t matter that we were staying at a two-star motel. More importantly, that the place had a pool. Sure, I didn’t know how to swim (not a lot of pools in the projects of South Philly), but tragically, that was an irrelevant point in my 10-year-old brain.

My mother was on ‘Babs’ duty when the incident happened. I was bravely (really?) scaling the walls of the pool, never thinking I’d have the need to let go. It was then that a water volleyball bounced in my direction. Of course, I went for it, forgetting that I was in the ‘8 feet’ section of the pool. Needless to say, I missed my target and immediately went down. The problem here was, my mother couldn’t swim, either.

Thanks to a good Samaritan/angel/some other kid’s parent, my skinny-ass body was pulled from the water, and I lived to tell the tale, but it was that moment that left me fearful of all things wet. Okay, not exactly all things, but definitely anything having to do with swimming, diving, surfing, the ocean — or any body of water in which I can’t stand up. So, when Breitling came a-calling with an invite to their Wheels and Waves event in Biarritz where they’d be introducing a new Superocean design, I panicked just a wee bit. I mean, the brand knows I’m a bit of a brave soul, and that I’ve flown with daredevil pilots, I rock climb, and overall, that I’m the adventurous type. But when I told them I couldn’t surf, I was afraid my reputation would be tainted.

“Do you ride motorcycles, or do you skateboard?” They responded.

And that’s when I knew the new Superocean — and its launch — had my name written all over it.
