If you thought you knew the Breitling Superocean Heritage, think again. The stylish sea watch gets a sun-soaked refresh, making it the most significant refresh of the Swiss brand’s go-to diver since 2017 – one that is built to land directly on your radar, and, more importantly, your wrist.
Refined with new proportions, ocean-ready elegance, and a salute to Hawaiian surf culture – this new generation of Superocean that’s less about brute force and more about undeniable, everyday cool.
Most noteworthy are the new sizing options. While some brands still cling to the ‘bigger is better’ mantra, Breitling knows what’s up, and we believe that this new 40mm Superocean Heritage that’s an absolute sweet spot. It’s the kind of dimension that plays nice with a suit jacket or a wetsuit, making it the ultimate versatile weapon in your watch arsenal.
Although, if you’re not a 40mm guy, there are also 36mm, 42mm, and 44mm options in the mix, along with a 42mm chronograph for those who like to time their thrills.
But it’s not just about shrinking; it’s about refining. These cases are noticeably slimmer – that 40mm? Just 11.73mm thick, with a very wearable 48.2mm lug-to-lug. That means it sits flatter, looks sharper, and slides under a cuff like it was tailor-made for it. They’ve subtly redesigned the crown for a more distinctive, almost mushroom-like profile, adding a touch of character without shouting. And the dial? It’s been cleaned up, with those slick triangular applied hour markers from the ’57 line making a welcome return. Crucially, the iconic “B” logo is now applied in a more subdued, non-gold finish, giving it a sharper, more modern edge that speaks volumes without yelling.
Then there are the bracelets. Those signature mesh beauties now feature an integrated, straight-end-link design that hugs the case seamlessly. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference in how it wears and looks – pure, unadulterated class. Prefer rubber? They’ve got a killer option with a mesh-like pattern, ensuring the texture and vibe carry through, no matter your choice of strap.
