The Superocean Héritage ref. A17320 was the first in the modern Héritage series, faithfully reviving the core design codes of the original ref. 1004. Its aesthetic is defined by the distinctive triangular hour hand, the vintage-script "Superocean" logo, and the period-correct 'Ocean Classic' steel mesh bracelet.
The 46mm stainless steel case, water-resistant to 200 meters, houses the Breitling Calibre 17. As a COSC-certified chronometer based on the proven ETA 2824-2 architecture, this reference stands as the foundational model of Breitling's highly successful heritage-focused collection.
Founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling, the company built its reputation as a specialist in technical timepieces, most notably chronographs. Breitling's development of the first independent pusher in 1915, followed by the second reset pusher in 1934, established the definitive architecture for the modern wrist chronograph.
Their expertise secured an inextricable bond with aviation, first as a supplier of on-board cockpit clocks to air forces like the RAF, and later with the 1952 debut of the Navitimer, a pilot's watch featuring a circular slide rule for flight calculations. Today, the brand continues this legacy, producing a range of COSC-certified chronometers, including its in-house B01 manufacture calibre, for its air, land, and sea collections.
