Breitling Superocean Heritage B31 automatic green dial mesh bracelet 42 mm

The Superocean spirit in a modernized version

Since its creation in 1957, the Superocean Heritage has embodied a unique idea of the diving watch: high-performance yet elegant; technical yet aesthetic. Breitling has always offered models that combine adventure and style, through iconic references such as the 1004 and the 807. In 2025, the collection is evolving while remaining true to its DNA, with a targeted update: revised proportions, a more refined finish, and above all, the arrival of the B31 manufacture caliber on the three-hand models.

The 42 mm format occupies an ideal position in the range: more restrained than the 44 mm, but with a strong presence on the wrist. It is a watch designed to be worn every day, offering both aesthetic pleasure and technical assurance.

The model: perfect balance, sophisticated green

The AB3111361L1A1 reference has an aesthetic that is both natural and bold. Its 42 mm polished steel case is topped with a unidirectional green ceramic bezel, which perfectly matches the sunray green dial. This deep shade recalls tropical landscapes and the surface of the ocean, giving the watch real personality.

The applied hour markers and arrow-shaped hands are coated with Super-LumiNova® to ensure flawless readability, even in the dark. The Ocean Classic Milanese mesh bracelet in steel extends this vintage spirit while ensuring excellent comfort on the wrist. Water-resistant to 200 meters, protected by a double-sided anti-reflective domed sapphire crystal, and featuring a transparent case back, this version is both elegant and fully functional.

The B31 caliber: a new generation of in-house manufacturing

Unveiled in 2025, the B31 caliber marks a key milestone in Breitling's in-house movement strategy. This three-hand, date mechanism, developed entirely in-house, offers a comfortable power reserve of 78 hours. It features a robust, proven architecture with bidirectional automatic winding, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and COSC chronometer certification.

Silent, smooth, and remarkably stable, the B31 is a superb three-hand manufacture caliber that makes no compromises on quality. Visible through the transparent case back, it reveals itself with understated elegance and beautiful finishes.
