Inspired by Breitling’s 1957 Superocean, the 42 mm Superocean Heritage A17321 blends vintage style with modern function in a polished stainless-steel case topped by a scratch-resistant, unidirectional ceramic bezel whose crisp half-minute clicks let divers track time precisely. A deep “gun-blue” dial under anti-reflective sapphire keeps the baton markers legible in shifting light, while a discreet date at 3 o’clock and COSC-certified automatic movement guarantee everyday practicality and chronometer accuracy. Although the case stands 15 mm high and spans 51 mm lug-to-lug, its 99.7 g weight and supple Ocean Classic mesh bracelet—complete with micro-adjustment—make it sit like a second skin, easily transitioning from wetsuit to suit. The screw-down crown and robust seals deliver 200 m of water-resistance, reinforcing the watch’s readiness for real dives, yet its refined detailing and balanced proportions satisfy collectors who prize heritage pieces that wear comfortably.
