The Superocean Heritage B01 Chronograph 44 stands as the flagship model in this series, rightfully earning its place of prominence. Drawing inspiration from the original 1957 retro design, its distinct hands—featuring a triangular hour hand and rhombus minute hand—and tapered hour scales embody the timeless aesthetic. Enhanced underwater legibility is achieved through the Super-LumiNova® coating. The stainless steel unidirectional rotating bezel incorporates a durable, scratch-resistant ceramic ring, delivering a modern touch with exceptional performance.
Available in cool black, stylish silver, and deep blue, the three dial colors offer versatility. The sharp contrast between the dial and chronograph dial facilitates precise time reading. The watch provides flexibility with the option of a rubber woven strap or a stainless steel woven strap. With a water resistance of 200 meters, it meets the demands of both professional and leisure scenarios.
Powering the timepiece is the Breitling “Ace Self-made Movement” B01, a renowned model in the industry backed by a 5-year warranty, ensuring reliability and longevity.
B01 homemade movement
Dedicated to achieving superior quality and precision, Breitling has consistently pursued excellence. In line with this dedication, Breitling took a significant step in 1999 by mandating that every movement undergo certification by the Swiss Official Observatory (COSC). With a commitment to meeting stringent quality standards, Breitling opted to establish a state-of-the-art watchmaking facility, distinguishing itself as one of the select globally recognized watchmaking brands producing its own chronograph movements. The Breitling Chronométrie, situated in La Chaux-de-Fonds at the heart of Swiss watchmaking, has been operational since the year 2001.
Breitling’s self-made B01 movement is one of the most reliable mechanical chronograph movements in the industry. It fully demonstrates Breitling’s extraordinary skills and strict standards and is widely praised. Each movement requires up to ten months of production time and no less than 1,000 tests before it can obtain the Swiss Official Chronometer Certification (COSC), with a daily error within the range of -4 seconds to +6 seconds.
In 2009, Breitling’s first self-made movement, Breitling’s self-made B01 movement, came out. After five years of careful development and rigorous testing, it aims to achieve extraordinary precision, reliability and functionality. Soon after, this self-made chronograph movement was upgraded again, adding a number of complex functions, including dual time zone time (GMT), world time display, and even an extremely sophisticated double split-seconds chronograph function.
