The Rebirth of Breitling's Superocean Heritage
Between the Waves and the Waterfront
For centuries, the sea has stirred the souls of explorers and captivated the hearts of those who revel in beauty.
In 1957, Breitling answered their call with the Superocean—an ocean-bound timepiece that dared to be more than a tool watch. Today, the legacy continues with a striking re-launch: the June 2025 Breitling Superocean Heritage Collection, a refined homage to the originals, infused with modern mastery and the spirit of freedom.
A Legacy Reimagined
From its earliest references—the time-only Ref. 1004 and the trailblazing Ref. 807 chronograph—the Superocean Heritage was never just about performance. It was a declaration of style for those who lived as much for the surf as for the scene. With its spear-and-arrow hands, sleek silhouette, and rotating ceramic bezel, the original model was a contemporary classic.
Now, this icon resurfaces, elevated for the modern era. Across the new collection, we see the same soul of the 1950s, but with a sharper, stronger execution. The new Superocean Heritage is bolder, more precise, and luxuriously equipped to follow its wearer from deck to dinner.
Key Highlights from the Collection
B01 Chronograph 42
Powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, this standout model pairs exceptional timekeeping with streamlined design.
Available in a variety of dial colours and strap options, its ceramic inlaid bezel ensures exceptional durability.
B31 Automatics (36 / 40 / 42 / 44 mm)
Showcasing the first three-hand manufacture caliber by Breitling, these automatic models boast tone-on-tone dials, discreet six o’clock date windows, and integrated mesh rubber or metal bracelets. Scratch-resistant ceramic bezels complete the design.
Kelly Slater Limited Edition (B31 Automatic 40)
A tribute to a surfing legend. Limited to 500 pieces, this special edition features a tropical foliage dial inspired by Hawaiian paradise, an open caseback engraved with “One of 500”, and arrives in a bespoke watch box with a personal message from Slater himself.
As he departs from competition, this timepiece marks both a farewell and a celebration of a lifestyle steeped in saltwater and freedom.
“This watch reflects everything I love—the ocean, nature, and the easy-going style I’ve always connected with.”
— Kelly Slater
Refined Functionality with Distinctive Design
Every model in the 2025 collection reflects Breitling’s commitment to elegance in engineering:

Tone-matched ceramic bezels that offer elevated scratch resistance and a sophisticated aesthetic.
Signature spear and arrow hands and luminous indices ensure exceptional legibility—even in the depths.
Additionally, select models boast an open caseback that reveals the precise craftsmanship of Breitling's manufacture movements, while every piece offers a minimum of 200M water resistance, reinforcing their oceanic pedigree.
A Contemporary Classic
More than a reissue, the June 2025 Superocean Heritage collection is a declaration of refinement, built to navigate the tides of style and sea alike. Whether diving into the deep or basking on the shore, each piece is a trusted companion—an elegant reminder that performance and poise need never be mutually exclusive.
As Breitling invites us once more to embrace the freedom of the sea, the Superocean Heritage offers not just a timepiece—but a moment, captured forever.
