Superocean Heritage B31 Automatic 42 Stainless Steel - Red Gold / Black / Rubber

The Breitling Superocean Heritage B31 Automatic 42 UB3111241B1S1 debuted in 2025 as part of the refreshed Superocean Heritage collection. This version features a 42mm case in stainless steel, accented with an 18k red gold bezel fitted with a black ceramic insert. The black dial is paired with a matching date aperture at 6 o’clock, creating a clean and symmetrical display. The watch is powered by Breitling’s Manufacture Caliber B31, a COSC-certified automatic movement introduced in 2024. This in-house caliber offers hours, minutes, central seconds, and a date function, with a 78-hour power reserve. Design-wise, the model draws heavily from the 1957 Ref. 1004, Breitling’s original Superocean, with arrow-shaped hour and spear-style minute hands, pointed indexes, and a no-frills layout optimized for readability. The case has been refined for improved proportions, while the more integrated mesh-metal and mesh-rubber strap options ensure a secure, comfortable fit. The addition of red gold to the bezel provides a warm contrast to the black dial and reinforces the collection’s signature mix of vintage elegance and modern functionality—built for those who appreciate both style and performance at sea and ashore.
