Selling my superocean A17045 “professional”; this was for a long time my daily watch, and it shows. More robust than the superocean cases today, this watch is meant to take a beating and keep on going. Approximate date 1998 41 mm diameter 45 mm lug to lug 19 mm lug width B17 movement (modified 2428-2) No box, no papers Timestamp in pictures Tons of patina, lots of hairlines, a small dent to the bezel and the case at the “45”, and some nicks to the crystal. Keeping good time, but I haven’t tested it. Comes on the original black rubber strap, which has life, but the keeper is gone. If you want an awesome daily watch, this is it. Reduced to new price of $800 shipped. PP, Venmo, Zelle. The Colt SuperOcean would see the birth of its most "pushed" declination in 1998, with the Professional version. That reference (A17045) differs mainly in its satin-finished case (legends speak of satin-finishing to prevent military personnel from being spotted by reflections from the sun, or mistaken for sardines by sharks, in the water), an even thicker case back (4.2mm!!), a 1500m wr, and the logo, in 18k gold, applied instead of stamped (but still in yellow gold) as on the first references. In the Professional, strangely enough, the centesimal scale disappeared
