Breitling has officially unveiled its refreshed Superocean Heritage collection—the first update since 2017—ushering in a sun-soaked reinterpretation of the house’s most elegant sea watch. This latest iteration strikes the perfect balance between vintage allure and contemporary refinement, with sleeker silhouettes, new movement enhancements, and a cool nod to Hawaiian surf culture.
The standout update lies in the revamped case proportions and the introduction of the B31 manufacture movement—Breitling’s first exclusive three-hand caliber. Available in new 36 mm and 40 mm sizes, as well as 42 mm and 44 mm automatic chronographs, the collection captures a relaxed elegance fit for both open water and upscale shorelines. A curated palette of black, blue, and green adds a modern, streamlined finish, while ceramic-inlayed bezels and integrated mesh bracelets in metal or rubber reinforce the watch’s high-performance credentials.
Adding an extra wave of excitement, Breitling has collaborated with surfing legend Kelly Slater on a limited-edition Superocean Heritage B31 Automatic 40. Featuring a tropical foliage-patterned dial and open caseback engraved “One of 500,” the model is inspired by Slater’s lifelong connection to Hawaii, where he now resides. The blue rubber strap and exclusive box presentation reinforce the laid-back surf vibe and make this edition a collector’s dream.
Also joining the beach-ready launch is the Breitling Eyewear by Cutler and Gross capsule, a collection of four handcrafted sunglasses inspired by the Superocean Heritage’s details. Featuring luminous temple tips, mesh-inspired engravings, and 18k red-gold accents, the frames blend the boldness of British design with Swiss precision. Limited to 500 pieces per style, the shades bring an upscale finishing touch to summer wardrobes.
From iconic timepieces and limited editions to curated eyewear and even a new pair of Havaianas flip-flops, Breitling is proving once again that style and substance can effortlessly meet at sea level. The new Superocean Heritage collection is more than a watch refresh—it’s a tribute to elegance, ease, and an endless summer.
Completing the collection’s lifestyle statement, Breitling expands its Equipment line with a playful collaboration with Havaianas, unveiling limited-edition flip-flops inspired by the Kelly Slater watch motif. Featuring the same lush Hawaiian floral design and presented in a custom gift bag, these sandals channel the surf-chic spirit of the collection and round out the Superocean Heritage’s transition from wrist to wardrobe.
With the revitalised Superocean Heritage, Breitling has created not just a timepiece, but a multi-sensory universe of modern craftsmanship. Whether it’s Slater’s signature edition, the precision-engineered eyewear, or the laid-back Havaianas collab, the spirit of the sea lives on in every detail—where technical mastery meets effortless summer style.
