Breitling Superocean Heritage B01 Chrono Steel & Red Gold automatic black dial mesh bracelet 42 mm

A legend born in 1957, reinvented for 2025

When Breitling introduced the Superocean in 1957, the Swiss Maison sought not only to meet the needs of professional divers, but to do so with style. Two references were launched—the 1004, a classic three-hand model, and the 807, the world's first diving chronograph—marking the beginning of a more aesthetic approach to the tool watch. Their sleek design, arrow-shaped hands, and rotating bezel immediately struck a chord with enthusiasts of both the sea and beautiful watches.

In 2025, the Superocean Heritage collection received its first major redesign since 2017. More elegant, more balanced, and still faithful to the spirit of the 1950s, it returns with new proportions, modernized materials, and upgraded technical features. The chronograph models feature the B01 manufacture caliber while retaining their retro identity. More than a tribute, this new generation is a brilliant reinterpretation of an icon.

The model: black and two-tone dial

The UB0156H11B1A1 embodies the Superocean Heritage in its most precious form. Its 42 mm case combines stainless steel with touches of 18-karat red gold on the bezel and crown for a subtle yet refined contrast. The unidirectional rotating bezel is fitted with a black ceramic insert, matching the deep, perfectly legible dial, decorated with two tone-on-tone sub-counters and a date at 6 o'clock.

The line's iconic hands—arrow-shaped for the hours and spear-shaped for the minutes—are enhanced with Super-LumiNova® for optimal visibility in all conditions. The Ocean Classic Milanese mesh bracelet adds a bold vintage touch while ensuring flexibility and elegance on the wrist. This model embodies discreet luxury in a style that is both sporty and dressy, ideal for those who want a versatile watch with a strong personality.

The Breitling Caliber 01

Like all chronograph versions of this new generation, the UB0156H11B1A1 is powered by the in-house caliber B01. This self-winding movement is a masterpiece of Swiss engineering, featuring a column wheel, vertical clutch, and a 70-hour power reserve. Its precision is certified by the COSC, and its layout, visible through the sapphire case back, attests to Breitling's technical expertise.

The B01 is not only highly performant, it also guarantees long-term reliability and ease of maintenance. In this two-tone version with a black dial, it gives the Superocean Heritage a special stature—that of a timepiece born in the depths but designed to shine every day.
