Model types: B01 Chronograph 42, B31 Automatic 40 Kelly Slater Limited Edition, B31 Automatic 42, B31 Automatic 44, Automatic 36. All models are available in several color variations, with different straps and, in some cases, gold plating.

Breitling has been a major player in Swiss watchmaking since 1884, earning its reputation as the inventor of the modern chronograph and a pioneer in navigation watches. Today, the brand continues to innovate while preserving and perfecting its collections inspired by the air, land, and sea, all in a vintage style that is uniquely Breitling.

For many, the name Breitling brings to mind the brand's pilot and aviation-inspired watches, even though the brand also excels in other areas. The Superocean Heritage diving watch series was launched in 1957 and has remained popular ever since. The current update is the first major redesign of the series since 2017.

The Superocean Heritage is back, sharper, sleeker, and available in a range of sizes with blue, black, or green dials and a variety of rubber or metal strap options, so there's something for everyone. Breitling's more elegant, yet still ocean-inspired watch has been fine-tuned to strike a balance between the style of the past and the tastes of today.

The introduction of the new B31 movement in certain sizes, the elegant ceramic bezel, and the limited edition Kelly Slater model are all new features in this generation. The slimmer, integrated Milanese metal or rubber straps fit perfectly on the wrist, while the legendary arrow and spear-shaped hands and striking indices ensure easy readability. The metal strap is always silver, while the rubber straps harmonize with the watch face and bezel.

Regardless of size, all models in the Superocean Heritage collection feature a stainless steel case that is water-resistant to 200 meters. Some models feature 18-carat red gold details, which also appear on the bezel. Other common features include a slightly domed sapphire crystal, a screw-down crown, and bright Super-LumiNova phosphorescent coating on the indices and hands. All models in the collection have a date window, uniformly positioned at 6 o'clock.

The watches come with calibers that vary in size. The collection offers a total of three different movements. The watches with chronograph function are equipped with the Breitling B01, the 36 mm women's watches with the smaller Caliber 10, and the other watches with the Breitling B31 movement. These movements offer power reserves of 70, 42, and 78 hours, respectively.

The most exclusive member of the collection is a limited edition created in collaboration with renowned American surfer Kelly Slater. The multiple surfing champion's watch seeks to capture the magical energy of Hawaii and the exhilarating atmosphere of surfing. The dial features a play of light with tropical plant motifs, while the engraving "One of 500" on the back of the watch reveals the chronometer's special nature. Future owners of this special edition will receive a decorative box decorated with unique tropical motifs, a special greeting card, and a rubber strap preferred by the athlete.

Each movement is certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), which guarantees high precision and reliability in a variety of conditions. The beautiful mechanisms (except for the 36 mm versions) can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back on all models, allowing you to observe the watch in action.

The Breitling Superocean collection is for those who appreciate the energetic aura of maritime adventures and the vintage style represented by Breitling in a modern guise. We recommend this collection to lovers of the Mediterranean lifestyle and to all those who identify with Breitling's mature design and strive for maximum quality.
