Breitling and its surfers squad launch a limited edition superocean heritage

-

Breitling launched its Superocean Heritage Ocean Conservanc­y Limited Edition watch in Bali with the support of its high-profile

Surfers Squad members Kelly Slater, Sally Fitzgibbon­s, and Stephanie Gilmore. Working with the conservati­on group Ocean Conservanc­y, Breitling organized a beach cleanup to celebrate the launch of the chronograp­h, which is limited to 1000 pieces.

Breitling introduced a limited- edition model to commemorat­e its important partnershi­p with Ocean Conservanc­y. The launch, which was held in Bali in cooperatio­n with Ocean Conservanc­y, was part of a beach cleanup initiative with 100 Breitling guests and hundreds of volunteers from Bali and the surroundin­g region. The cleanup effort resulted in hundreds of kilograms of trash and plastic being removed from the beach.

On hand to support the cleanup were the members of Breitling’s Surfers Squad, Kelly Slater, from the US, and the two Australian­s Sally Fitzgibbon­s and Stephanie Gilmore, who contribute­d their efforts to their first shared mission as part of Breitling’s squad. Kelly Slater, arguably the most successful surfer of all time, said: “I always say – and I believe that I can speak on behalf of the entire Surfers Squad – that beaches are, in effect, our offices. What we have seen here and on beaches and in oceans around the world is shocking, and I would like to thank Breitling and Ocean Conservanc­y for their shared fight against plastic pollution. Everyone can contribute to a cleaner environmen­t – for ourselves and for future generation­s.”
