Combining high-tech design with a vintage twist, the Superocean Heritage Chronograph 44 in steel and steel & gold displays numbers on the bezel distinguishing it from other models in the collection.
With blue or black 44 mm-diameter dial featuring tone-on-tone counters, this striking piece embodies Breitlings spirit of adventure and performance.
SUPEROCEAN: THE ULTIMATE SEA WATCH
Breitlings Superocean is technical, durable and comes in a range of fun colors. Dive with it, surf with it, swim with it, hit the beach bar with it. Performance and style for all your water-based pursuits. In the 1960s, the new sport of scuba diving was all the rage. For divers, timing was everything, and Breitling set out to give them the most clear-cut dive watch possible by eliminating any feature that didnt support their lifesaving needs underwater.
This pared-down watch was named the Slow Motion. What remained were clean lines, chunky luminescent indexes, squared-off hands and a high-contrast dial ring, all aimed at maximum legibility. Practical, yes. But what people really fell in love with was the look. The new Superocean retraces the Slow Motion’s celebrated design codes, while adding modern features, like a ceramic-inlayed bezel and brightly colored dials. Broad hands and indexes in luminescent Super-LumiNova allow for easy readability underwater.

History of Breitling
Getting into the watch manufacturing business in the mid-1880s was no easy feat. Switzerland was experiencing the worst part of a long recession. Yet, despite the economic difficulty, social unrest and uncertainty about the future, 24-year-old Lon Breitling stayed true to his vision of creating instruments that could measure, divide and master time.
Today, Georges Kern and his team continue the rich tradition that began in a small workshop in St. Imier in 1884. The product portfolio was restructured around the brand’s three historic universes: Air, Land and Sea. Breitling redefined itself as “a generalist Swiss watch brand offering a cool, informal and inclusive alternative” to traditional watchmakers.
