The Superocean Heritage collection, successfully relaunched in 2017, continues this heritage with a contemporary twist.In 2025, Breitling is offering this iconic line a new evolution. Refined proportions, optimized readability, and a strong presence. But above all, the arrival of the B31 caliber, a three-hand automatic movement manufactured in-house, adds a new technical dimension to the non-chronograph models in the range. More than just an update, this is a visible and tangible upgrade, designed for enthusiasts of fine mechanics and watch design alike.The model: bold monochrome, absolute efficiencyThe AB3112241B1S1 features a 44 mm polished steel case topped with a unidirectional black ceramic bezel.

Lightweight, supple, and ergonomic, it reinforces the technical dimension of the model and ensures remarkable comfort. It is equipped with a folding clasp that is well integrated into the case. Water-resistant to 200 meters, protected by a double-sided anti-reflective domed sapphire crystal and fitted with a screw-down transparent case back, this watch is both a professional instrument and a stylish timepiece.The B31 caliber: a new generation of in-house manufacturingUnveiled in 2025, the B31 caliber marks a key milestone in Breitling’s in-house movement strategy.
