The Breitling Superocean Heritage series is enhanced by a limited-edition variant and a selection of sun-ready hues.


Prolonged days, temperate zephyrs, and the aroma of salt in the atmosphere. Waves are softly undulating, the ocean beckons, and Breitling responds with refinement. Eight years following its previous update, the Breitling Superocean Heritage reemerges more refined than ever, combining 1950s elegance with contemporary style.

The Breitling Superocean Heritage reemerges, combining 1950s aesthetics with contemporary elegance. The Breitling Superocean Heritage exudes elegance and sophistication, whether submerged in the ocean's depths or drying off after a swim. Neither performance nor aesthetics are sacrificed; both converge at a critical juncture, a delicate equilibrium mastered by the Swiss watchmaker.

A refined combination of black, blue, and green highlights the collection's signature arrow hour and spear minute hands, along with its unique inward-sloping bezel with anodised aluminium inlay. The Breitling Superocean Heritage, available in sizes 36, 40, 42, and 44mm, accommodates every wrist and occasion. The surf is not the exclusive source of power, as the 40, 42, and 44mm models are driven by Breitling's inaugural exclusive B31 manufacturing movement.
