Breitling Japan Co., Ltd. Press release: June 11, 2025 Breitling Unveils Evolved Superocean Heritage This is the first time Breitling’s stylish diver’s watch has been updated since it became a current model in 2017. It’s been reborn in the sun, with sleek new proportions, seaside elegance, and a homage to Hawaiian surf culture.

It’s sharper, more refined, and more suited to the season of sun and surf. Breitling’s most elegant diver’s watch has been refined in every way, exquisitely blending vintage style with modern lightness. From the size range to the inclusion of the new manufacture movement “B31”, every detail has been meticulously tuned. Together with this redesign, we are also releasing a limited edition designed in collaboration with “surfing legend” Kelly Slater and a sunglasses collaboration with Cutler & Gross. Everything is made for a lifestyle that moves effortlessly from the waves to the waterfront.

Breitling first introduced the model in 1957, and it took a different approach to other diver’s watches at the time. The Ref. 1004 (a sophisticated three-hand model) and the Ref. 807 (the world’s first full-fledged diver’s chronograph) were not just tools for underwater exploration, but were also designed with style in mind. The distinctive spear-and-arrow hands, rotating bezel, and balanced proportions with natural beauty appealed to adventurers who loved the sea and valued style at the same time. That philosophy has been firmly passed down to the Superocean Heritage. It has a contemporary finish while retaining the spirit of the 1950s. Breitling CEO Georges Kern said: “The Superocean Heritage is our most elegant diver’s watch. This update is about refinement. Every detail has been perfected, but the spirit remains the same. This is a watch that embodies style at sea.” This refresh refines the many elements that have defined the Superocean Heritage. The collection includes a 42 mm chronograph equipped with Breitling’s industry-leading high-precision movement, the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01. The models equipped with Breitling’s first in-house automatic three-hand movement, the B31, announced in March, are available in 44 mm, 42 mm, and 40 mm. In addition, the 36 mm model uses the Caliber 10 automatic movement. The color palette of the collection is carefully selected to be three colors: black, blue, and green, and is combined with a bezel inlaid with ceramic of the same color. This bezel provides excellent scratch resistance and keeps the beauty of the watch as new for a long time. The mesh metal bracelet and mesh-like rubber strap, which are thinner and integrated into the case, provide a highly waterproof fit. It has a folding clasp and a seamless finish.

proportions. Tone-on-tone subdials and a subtle date display at 6 o’clock create a harmonious composition, while the distinctive arrow-shaped hour and spear-shaped minute hands and sharp indexes maintain the easy-to-read look that made the original mid-century model such a must-have for divers. Selected models feature responsibly sourced 18K red gold around the bezel, adding a touch of glamour without compromising the sleek aesthetic. New sizes of 36 mm and 40 mm have also been added to make the watch more versatile and suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes. The spirit of the new Superocean Heritage is vividly expressed in this launch campaign, set against the backdrop of Hawaii’s sights, sounds and surf culture. The modern retro style reflects the lush greenery, vibrant colors, and sunny energy that symbolize Hawaii, the land of Aloha.

Now it’s his home base. With 11 world titles, 56 championship wins and 30 years of redefining the sport of surfing, Kelly Slater is more than just a champion; he’s a force of nature. As Kelly Slater retires from professional racing, Breitling has released the Superocean Heritage B31 Automatic 40 Kelly Slater, a limited edition watch that celebrates his outstanding career and captures the spirit of the Hawaiian surf culture that nurtured him.

But when I got there, I realized there was so much more to it than that. The people, the community, the nature are so connected, and the respect Hawaiians have for the land, the people, and the culture is so deeply rooted. Hawaii has become even more special than I ever dreamed it would be as a child, and now it’s home.” The dial features a leaf pattern inspired by the light and shadow of tropical shade. The see-through case back allows you to see the Caliber B31, and the outer ring is engraved with “One of 500” and “Kelly Slater Limited Edition”. The watch comes with a choice of a blue rubber mesh strap or a stainless steel mesh bracelet, and is presented in a special edition box featuring a Hawaiian floral motif. A message card from Slater himself is also included. “I’ve been with Breitling for years,” says Slater. “This watch embodies everything I love: the sea, nature, and the effortless style that has always resonated with me.”

Milanese-engraved core wire and rivets reflect the design of the mesh bracelet. The hinges feature Breitling’s signature “Script B”, and the lens colors are available in smoky gray, blue, gray-pink, and green. The frames are available in four handmade styles: straight-lined metal, sculpted eco-friendly cellulose acetate, and a sophisticated combination of both. All models are available with high-performance “ZEISS LightPro(R)” technology and 18K red gold-finished metal parts, inspired by the red gold details found on some of the new Superocean Heritage models. All four styles will be available in special edition frames, with only 500 of each style. Cutler & Gross CEO Jack Dooley says, “This collaboration is a fusion of heritage and modern craftsmanship. The end result is a collection that is both timeless and new.” And Breitling CEO Georges Kern continues: “We have created a perfect companion for the Superocean Heritage: the sophisticated Cutler & Gross sunglasses.” The eyewear collection will be available exclusively in June in select Breitling boutiques in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the UK, and the US, as well as online at Breitling.com. From September, the collection will be available in Cutler & Gross flagship stores, on the Cutler & Gross website (cutlerandgross.com), and at retailers around the world.

It is a watch made for a day that begins with the morning sun and ends with the scent of the sea on your skin. To extend the spirit of beach style beyond the wrist, Breitling has collaborated with Havaianas, the beloved Brazilian footwear brand known as the creator of the modern flip-flop, to create a special edition sandal. Designed with a Hawaiian floral pattern and packaged in a special gift bag, the sandal will give you a summery sense of relaxation with every step. The sandal will be sold at Breitling Equipment, a dedicated space within Breitling boutiques. The space also carries books, apparel, and accessories, and is available in 17 locations around the world. “With its new refined proportions, the introduction of Caliber B31, and these compelling collaborations, the Superocean Heritage remains one of the most stylish watches in and out of the water,” says Kern. The sun is out, the waves are rolling in. Time to dive in.
