When it comes to dive watches, Breitling has always done things a little differently—and the 2025 update of the Superocean Heritage proves just how stylishly the brand can evolve. For the first time since 2017, the collection has been given a thorough, sea-breeze-fresh update. It is still that dashing dive companion rooted in 1950s elegance, but now it is sleeker, smarter, and more tailored to the rhythm of contemporary life.
Proportion-wise, Breitling has refined the case sizes and introduced slimmer profiles across the range, making each timepiece feel more wearable without sacrificing presence. The newly launched Breitling Manufacture Calibre B31 powers most automatic models—a milestone in the brand’s technical evolution. Combined with a dial refresh, ceramic bezels, and upgraded bracelets, the new line-up is ready for both work and play.
Superocean Heritage B01 Chronograph 42
B01 Chronograph 42—the flagship of the collection—is powered by Breitling’s premier in-house Calibre 01. It has a 70-hour power reserve, a column-wheel construction and COSC certification. The dial—available in crisp blue, black, or green—balances modern clarity with vintage cues like spear-tipped hands and tone-on-tone subdials, with a choice of a mesh steel bracelet or a rubber strap.
Superocean Heritage B31 Automatic 44
Bold and assertive, the B31 Automatic 44 is for those who like their dive watches to command attention. It houses the B31 three-hand manufacture movement, offering a robust 78-hour power reserve and COSC-certified performance. A bezel in stainless steel or 18-carat red gold, replete with a ceramic insert, can be seen on either the stainless steel or two-tone stainless steel and 18-carat red gold versions respectively. At 44 mm, it is unapologetically sporty—perfect for charting deeper waters or making a splash at a beachside bar.
Superocean Heritage B31 Automatic 42
Slightly scaled down but no less charismatic, the B31 Automatic 42 brings elegance to the everyday dive watch. The refined 12.03 mm thickness makes it sleek enough to slide under a cuff, while the versatile colour options (black, blue, green) keep it rooted in style. Inside, the B31 movement hums reliably, visible through a sapphire case back.
Superocean Heritage B31 Automatic 40
Breitling’s 40 mm offering is a sweet spot for many wrists—compact, comfortable, and beautifully composed. The Automatic 40 shares the same COSC-certified B31 movement but distils it into a subtler silhouette. With either black or green dials, and matching ceramic bezels, this model speaks softly but carries serious horological weight.
Superocean Heritage B31 Automatic 40 Kelly Slater
A limited edition homage to surfing legend Kelly Slater, this watch is not just a tribute—it is a tropical daydream. The dial is decorated with a stamped foliage pattern reminiscent of Hawaiian canopies, a nod to Slater’s beloved island home. Flip it over to see the open case back engraving “One of 500.” The collectible watch is packaged in a special floral-themed box and is available with a rubber strap or mesh bracelet. As Slater puts it, “The watch reflects everything I love—the ocean, nature, and the easy-going style.”
Superocean Heritage Automatic 36
For smaller wrists, the Automatic 36 does not skimp on performance or style. It runs on the COSC-certified Calibre 10 and features a streamlined 10.42 mm thickness. With dials in blue or green with matching rubber straps or bracelets, it radiates an understated chicness that transitions effortlessly from sun deck to city street.
Breitling Eyewear by Cutler and Gross
Breitling does not stop at the wrist. In collaboration with British eyewear artisans Cutler and Gross, the brand released a capsule of handcrafted sunglasses inspired by the Superocean Heritage collection. Available in four different styles featuring high-performance ZEISS LightPro® Technology and 18-carat red-gold-plated metalwork, they are limited to an exclusive production of 500 frames each.
