Breitling’s Superocean Heritage II pairs the arrow-shaped hour hand and spare dial of its 1957 ancestor with a glossy ceramic bezel and a distinctly modern movement. On the mesh bracelet, it has a fluid, almost dressy character that sets it apart from Breitling’s busier instrument watches, without giving up its identity as a diver.

Introduced in 2017, the second generation is worth distinguishing from the original: ceramic replaced the aluminum bezel insert, while the automatic B20, derived from Tudor’s movement architecture, brought a roughly 70-hour power reserve. The 42mm version is the natural starting point if you want the design without the greater wrist presence of its larger siblings, though its long lugs still deserve a wrist trial. Pay particular attention to the ceramic bezel’s edges for chips; its resistance to everyday scratches doesn’t make it immune to a sharp knock.

What owners love

The mesh bracelet is a big part of why owners keep wearing it: it drapes around the wrist rather than feeling like a row of rigid links, and suits the watch unusually well.
The ceramic bezel has a depth and shine that owners often single out, especially against the relatively uncluttered dial. The arrow-shaped hour hand gives it a recognizable look without needing oversized lettering or busy dial furniture.
Owners frequently report strong everyday accuracy from the B20. It is one of the less visible reasons people remain happy with the watch after the initial attraction to its looks wears off.

Common Criticisms

The 42mm diameter doesn't tell the whole story: the case is thick, and owners with smaller wrists sometimes find it taller and heavier than expected. It isn't a particularly discreet fit under a close-fitting cuff.
The polished case picks up visible hairlines, and the combination of polished steel, shiny ceramic and mesh can be more reflective than some owners want. People who love the dial but prefer brushed finishes sometimes find the overall effect too bright.
