Breitling celebrates the elegance of the sea with the new Superocean Heritage

Breitling lifts its iconic diver's watch to new heights with a fine update of the Superocean Heritage, a collection that combines timeless elegance, advanced technology and a tribute to Hawaii's surf culture. With new, finely adjusted proportions and elegant details ready for the sea, Breitling presents a modern interpretation of its classic watch.

Since its debut in 1957 the Superocean Heritage has symbolised sophisticated dive design. The latest version reinforces this heritage with an updated design that includes spear-shaped hands from the original model, clean-lined sizes from 36 to 44 mm as well as high-performing movements, among them the exclusive Caliber 01 in the 42 mm chronograph and the new automatic B31 movement in the other models. The last time Breitling updated this model series was in 2017. 

The design is perfected in a campaign that bubbles with colour, joy of life and the dynamics of surf culture – inspired by Hawaii's lush nature, clear light and deep sea tones. The result is a collection that feels just as at home among the waves as on the beach promenade.

Kelly Slater Limited Edition – A Tribute to a Legend

With over three decades of success, 11 world championship titles and 56 competition wins, Kelly Slater is more than a surf icon, he is a living legend. In connection with him now retiring from the competition scene, Breitling honours him with an exclusive model, the Superocean Heritage B31 Automatic 40 Kelly Slater.

This limited edition is inspired by Hawaii's tropical landscape – a home and a source of inspiration for Slater. The dial is adorned with a pattern that resembles the sun's rays through lush greenery, and the back reveals the technical B31 movement with an engraved ring around it. The watch is delivered in a specially designed box with the same tropical motif – and a personal message from Kelly Slater himself.

The Superocean Heritage is more than a diver's watch, it is an expression of freedom, passion and a lifestyle in harmony with the rhythm of the sea. With this new generation Breitling celebrates not only its history, but also the future of adventure, precision and style.
