The Superocean line was first introduced in 1957 as Breitling’s answer to the growing demand for robust dive watches. The Heritage designation recalls this era, emphasising vintage-inspired design cues such as broad markers, bold bezels and clean dial layouts.
The Heritage II series refreshed the classic look for the modern era with updated case finishing, ceramic or steel bezel inserts and enhanced movement performance. The B01 Chronograph variant takes this further by integrating Breitling’s in-house Chronograph Caliber B01, known for its reliable automatic winding, long power reserve and precise chronograph timing.
Design details such as the mesh “Milanese” bracelet option, balanced sub-dial layout and high-contrast hands ensure strong legibility and visual appeal without compromising the lineage of the original Superocean models.

Pre-owned Breitling Superocean Heritage II B01 Chronograph 44 watches are typically powered by Breitling’s in-house Caliber B01 automatic movement, offering chronograph timing, central sweep seconds, 30-minute and 12-hour counters, and date display. The movement is admired for its robustness, 70-hour power reserve and smooth operation.
The 44mm stainless steel case often features a unidirectional rotating dive bezel with ceramic or steel insert, screw-down crown and strong water resistance (often 200m+), making it suited to both aquatic activity and everyday wear.
Dial finishes include matte black, sunburst blue and bronze, with luminous hands and markers for excellent low-light visibility. Strap and bracelet options - ranging from steel mesh to sporty rubber - allow personalisation of the look and feel.
While traditionally associated with men’s tool watch proportions, the 44mm case of the Superocean Heritage II B01 Chronograph can appeal to anyone who prefers a bold, capable mechanical chronograph.
