Breitling Superocean Heritage B31 "Kelly Slater" automatic blue dial rubber strap 40 mm

A Superocean born from the waves

Launched in 1957, the Superocean Heritage has always been much more than just a diving instrument. It embodies a lifestyle focused on water, style, and freedom. In 2025, Breitling continues this story with an exclusive edition dedicated to Kelly Slater, legendary surfer and brand ambassador. Produced in a limited edition of only 500 pieces, this timepiece celebrates the lush nature of Hawaii, Slater's adopted home, with a strong, evocative and unique design. This model on a braided rubber strap pays tribute to surf culture in its purest form: freedom of movement, comfort and a style that never compromises on technology.

The model: tropical expression on a technical strap

The AB31101A1C1S1 reference stands out with its blue dial adorned with a tropical leaf motif, recalling Hawaiian beaches and jungles. This exclusive decoration subtly plays with the light while maintaining perfect legibility, reinforced by the arrow-shaped hands and luminescent applied hour markers.

The date window is positioned at 6 o'clock for perfect balance.

The 40 mm polished steel case is topped with a shiny, scratch-resistant blue ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel. The whole is set on a flexible, durable blue braided rubber strap with an original look reminiscent of nautical ropes and nets. The overall effect is a fluid, coherent aesthetic designed for outdoor enthusiasts and watch design aficionados alike.

The sapphire caseback is engraved with the words “Kelly Slater – One of 500,” and each watch comes in an exclusive tropical case accompanied by a personal message from Slater himself.

The B31 caliber: the manufacturing soul of this edition

At the heart of this limited edition beats the B31 manufacture caliber, a three-hand automatic movement with date, developed in-house by Breitling. It offers a power reserve of 78 hours, bidirectional winding, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and is COSC-certified.

Reliable, precise, and durable, it gives this boldly styled watch authentic horological depth. And through the transparent sapphire caseback, it reveals part of its meticulous architecture—discreet, but very real.
