Last year at BaselWorld, Breitling presented a true take-it-or-leave-it proposition in their Superocean Heritage watch, which though a real departure from their current aesthetics, is a very real part of the brand’s history.

In fact, its credentials are boosted by the fact that it is a diver’s watch, making the relative simplicity of the dial and such a true measure of professional performance, a Breitling hallmark.

This year, Breitling follows up with an automatic chronograph in this same line. At 46mm, this steel behemoth is certainly no wallflower and can withstand depths of up to 200 meters. As with last year’s model, this one also sports the unidirectional bezel vital for all divers.

Of course, the chronograph is a complication with historical significance for the brand so it is fitting that it finds a home here. It is as robust as Breitling chronographs usually are.
