Breitling Superocean Heritage B31 Auto 42

Built for the waves and made for the waterfront, the Superocean Heritage has never been just another dive watch—because it never set out to be.
When Breitling first introduced it in 1957, the Superocean took a bold new direction. Unlike other dive watches of the time, the Ref. 1004—a streamlined time-only model—and the Ref. 807—the world’s first purpose-built dive chronograph—weren’t just functional tools for exploring the deep. They were designed to look as good on land as they performed underwater. With their spear-and-arrow hands, anodized rotating bezels, and naturally elegant proportions, these watches quickly became icons for style-conscious adventurers drawn to both the sea and the spotlight.

That original ethos remains firmly at the heart of the modern Superocean Heritage. It channels the spirit of the 1950s while embracing the innovation of today. The latest collection refines the original’s defining details and takes them further, introducing the B31 automatic movement—Breitling’s first in-house three-hand manufacture caliber. A ceramic-inlayed bezel enhances durability with superior scratch resistance, while the choice of mesh-metal or mesh-rubber bracelets ensures a snug, streamlined fit, secured with folding clasps for a clean, watertight seal. A subtle date window at six o’clock and the signature hour and minute hands—arrow and spear—offer perfect balance and legibility, whether you're above the surface or beneath it.
