Breitling Superocean Heritage B31 Auto 42

Designed to move seamlessly between the waves and the waterfront, the Superocean Heritage is no ordinary dive watch—because it never was.
When Breitling introduced it in 1957, the Superocean charted a unique course. Unlike the utilitarian dive watches of its time, the Ref. 1004—a sleek time-only model—and the Ref. 807—the world’s first dedicated dive chronograph—blended performance with unmistakable style. With spear-and-arrow hands, an anodized rotating bezel, and refined proportions, they became the choice of elegant adventurers who lived for both the sea and the scene.

That philosophy remains at the heart of the modern Superocean Heritage. With the soul of the 1950s and the innovation of today, the latest models refine the legacy. At the core is the B31 automatic movement—Breitling’s first exclusive three-hand manufacture caliber—bringing superior precision and reliability.

A ceramic-inlayed bezel enhances durability with excellent scratch resistance, while integrated mesh-metal or mesh-rubber straps hug the case perfectly, secured by folding clasps for a sleek, watertight fit. A discreet date window at six o’clock and the iconic arrow-and-spear handset ensure clarity and balance, whether above the waves or beneath them.
