Breitling Superocean Heritage II B20 automatic 44 mm Full Set 2021

Superocean Heritage II: A Reinvented Diving Icon

First introduced in 1957, the Breitling Superocean is one of the great icons of Swiss diving watchmaking. At a time when underwater exploration was rapidly gaining popularity, Breitling created a timepiece capable of accompanying professional divers while also appealing to those seeking an elegant and versatile watch. More refined than many dive watches of its era, the Superocean immediately stood out with its clean design, distinctive hands, and outstanding legibility, quickly becoming one of the brand's most emblematic collections.

In 2017, Breitling unveiled the Superocean Heritage II, a major evolution of this iconic collection. Without compromising the lines that made the original model so successful, the manufacture subtly refined its proportions, introduced a highly scratch-resistant ceramic bezel, and enhanced the overall finishing. The signature arrow and spear-shaped hands, applied indexes, and sleek case profile pay faithful tribute to the original 1957 Superocean while giving it a distinctly contemporary presence.

This new generation also marked a significant technical milestone with the introduction of the Breitling Manufacture Calibre B20, powering the three-hand models in the collection. Thanks to this evolution, the Superocean Heritage II became far more than a stylistic reinterpretation of a classic—it became a true manufacture timepiece, combining the heritage of a historic model with the highest standards of modern Swiss watchmaking.

The Watch

With this Superocean Heritage II B20, Breitling demonstrates that a genuine dive watch can also be an exceptionally elegant timepiece. Reference UB2030121B1S1 stands out with its luxurious combination of stainless steel and 18-carat red gold, creating a refined contrast that enhances the timeless lines of the Heritage collection.

Its 44 mm case delivers a strong sporting presence while maintaining perfectly balanced proportions. The unidirectional rotating bezel features a black ceramic insert framed by an 18-carat red gold ring, adding an extra touch of sophistication. As a true professional dive watch, it offers excellent grip and flawless finishing in equal measure.

The black dial impresses with its balance and exceptional legibility. The applied indexes and the iconic arrow and spear-shaped hands inspired by the 1957 original are coated with Super-LumiNova®, ensuring optimal readability in all lighting conditions. The discreet date window at 6 o'clock preserves the dial's perfect symmetry, while the applied Breitling logo reinforces the premium character of this exceptional timepiece.

This version is fitted with a black woven-pattern rubber strap inspired by the legendary mesh bracelets that accompanied the earliest Superocean Heritage models. Flexible, durable, and exceptionally comfortable, it perfectly hugs the wrist while reinforcing the watch's vintage-inspired character. Paired with a stainless steel folding clasp, it provides excellent security and comfort for both everyday wear and more demanding activities.

The Breitling Manufacture Calibre B20

At the heart of this Superocean Heritage II beats the Breitling Manufacture Calibre B20, an automatic movement that perfectly reflects the brand's ambition to combine its rich heritage with state-of-the-art mechanics. Introduced in 2017 alongside the new generation of the Superocean Heritage collection, this movement marked a major milestone by delivering the performance expected from the finest contemporary diving watches.

Developed from the architecture of the renowned Tudor Manufacture Calibre MT5612 as part of the industrial partnership between Breitling and Tudor, the Breitling B20 benefits from a proven construction celebrated for its robustness, precision, and reliability. Each movement is subsequently assembled, adjusted, and certified by Breitling to meet the demanding standards of the Swiss manufacture.

Officially certified as a chronometer by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), the B20 calibre guarantees accuracy that meets the highest standards of Swiss watchmaking. It also offers an impressive power reserve of approximately 70 hours, allowing the watch to remain running throughout an entire weekend without being worn.
