Breitling Superocean Heritage II Chronograph AB0162121C1A1

Brand history

Founded in 1884 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, BREITLING has always been closely associated with precision measuring instruments. Its chronographs quickly became a standard in aviation, and the iconic Navitimer with its slide rule remained an indispensable tool for pilots worldwide for decades. These watches are designed with functionality, readability, and reliability in demanding conditions in mind.

Over time, Breitling transferred its expertise from the skies to the sea, developing the Superocean line—a collection designed for professional divers. The Superocean Heritage series draws inspiration from 1950s models, combining vintage aesthetics with modern materials, handcrafted movements, and premium finishes. It's a tribute to the brand's history, presented in a modern, refined form.
