Breitling Superocean Heritage B31 automatic green dial rubber strap 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: a dive into green

The AB3111361L1S1 features an intense, deep green sunray dial paired with a scratch-resistant green ceramic unidirectional bezel. The 42 mm polished steel case is perfectly balanced, and the arrow-shaped hands and applied hour markers are coated with Super-LumiNova® for optimal readability in all conditions.

The soft, durable green textured rubber strap reinforces the sporty character of the piece. Its color matches the dial, creating a fluid chromatic continuity, while the folding clasp ensures an excellent fit on the wrist. Water-resistant to 200 meters, protected by a domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal and fitted with a transparent screw-down case back, this version of the Superocean Heritage is ready to take on any situation.

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.
