Breitling Superocean Heritage 46 A1732016/C734 Box+Booklet

Aviation has always been at the forefront of Breitling’s narrative, and rightfully so. The Navitimer, born in 1952, stands as one of the most influential pilot’s watches ever made, marking the beginning of Breitling’s enduring connection with the aviation industry. This legacy has birthed a lineage of successors, solidifying Breitling’s position in pilot’s watches and the broader horological landscape.

The watch on offer here, however, transports us to a different chapter in Breitling’s history – one that started back to 1957 with the release of the 48mm ref. 1004 and the slightly less chunky ref. 807 SuperOcean.

While the SuperOcean Heritage 46 boasts generous proportions – with a diameter of 46mm and a thickness of 15mm – such dimensions are well within contemporary norms.. For lovers of smaller watches like us, the functionality packed into this appealing case compensates for any perceived bulk, and so does the captivating design that closely mirrors its historical predecessor. Water-resistant to 200 meters/660 feet, dust and shock-resistant, the watch epitomizes versatility, including its stylistic attributes. The blue bezel harmonizes with the dial, while the gleaming steel accentuates a delightful contrast. The symmetrical dial layout, including the date window at 6 o’clock, enhances the SuperOcean’s classic allure.

Powering the watch is the brilliant Breitling caliber 17, confidently ticking behind the stamped caseback.

Our offering is in excellent condition and comes with its original box but without papers.
