Breitling Superocean Heritage B20 Automatic 42

History

1957 saw the expansion of Breitling from the skies to the seas. With the launch of the Superocean collection, Breitling managed to conquer the loyalties of divers worldwide. Known for their immaculate and sturdy make, watches from the Superocean collection are ideal for deep sea diving. The Breitling Superocean Heritage commemorates the peerless performance of the Superocean collection by offering watches that possess technical as well as aesthetic prowess.

Design

The concept of less is more is amply glorified by the minimalistic design of the SuperOcean Heritage collection. The smooth dial is available in various colours, whereas the bezel may be the same or a different hue from the dial, and in some cases, adorned with a red gold ring. The absence of numerals on the dial exemplifies the simplistic design and appeal of this collection. The hands are oversized and bold, with luminescent filling to ensure visibility even in the depths of the ocean. The collection offers unique and durable Ocean Classic or Ocean Racer bracelets, along with more common options such as leather.

Features

The self-winding manual movement of the SuperOcean Heritage is COSC chronometer certified for accurate timekeeping. Water resistant to a depth of 200m, each timepiece from this collection is ideal for an individual looking for a powerful performance underwater. The screwed-in case back with screw-down crowns ensure smooth functioning of the device even when submerged. The unidirectional ratcheted bezel sports time indexes for precise counter functions. The watches from the line boast date windows at the 3'o clock or 6'o clock positions. The SuperOcean Heritage Chronograph are versions of this collection that offer superior chronograph technology, sporting two to three counter subdials.
