About this piece

Timeless design, modern performance – built for the deep and styled for the surface. The Breitling Superocean Heritage Chronograph 46 pays tribute to the brand’s original 1957 dive watch while integrating the precision and durability expected of a modern chronograph. With its bold 46 mm stainless steel case, distinctive black dial, and vintage-inspired design cues, this timepiece effortlessly bridges classic style and cutting-edge function.

Design & functionality

This model’s Ocean Classic mesh bracelet adds a refined vintage touch, offering comfort and a secure fit that echoes the original Superocean’s legacy. The glare-proofed sapphire crystal ensures legibility in all lighting conditions—above or below the surface. The black dial, detailed with luminous hands and markers, makes for excellent visibility and understated elegance.

A Heritage of Excellence

First launched in 1957, the Breitling Superocean was created for professional divers and military use, but its rugged beauty and durability quickly won over recreational divers and watch enthusiasts. The Superocean Heritage Chronograph 46 continues that legacy, combining 20th-century dive-watch aesthetics with 21st-century engineering.
