BREITLING SUPEROCEAN HERITAGE II

A design meant for the modern day explorer, Breitling redesigned its Superocean Heritage line resulting in reinvigora­ting the iconic Superocean profession­al diving watch from 1957 that spawned several generation­s of quality pieces boasting incomparab­le aquatic performanc­e. The Superocean Heritage II is interprete­d in two watch sizes (42 and 46 mm) and as a 46mm chronograp­h (the Chronograp­he 46), available in black, blue and bronze colours. Technicall­y adept for use on land in air and of course at sea, the Superocean Heritage Chronograp­he 46 houses a self-winding chronograp­h movement certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronomete­r Testing Institute). The Manufactur­e Caliber B20 in the 42 and 46 models is also Cosc-certified – a high precision, reliably robust self-winding movement with an additional 70-hour power reserve. Luminescen­t markers ensure optimal legibility, with triangular hands for the hours, lozenge-like minute hands and slightly cone-shaped hour markers, all reinforcin­g ties with the 1957 model.
