An Overlooked Dive Watch That Deserves More Attention - Breitling SuperOcean Heritage B20

[@speedmaster001]

My son wanted the SupeOcean heritage II in blue dial and fine linked bracelet as his graduation present. I told him graduate with honors and we will talk. About 3 months before college graduation as a Computer Engineering student, he smugly told me, dad you better start saving for my watch. He got the watch and I had to defend the purchase with my wife. Beautiful watch.

As a proud super ocean heritage II owner, I highly recommend this watch!! The uniqueness of not trying to be like anyone and awesome movement, makes it a superb watch!!! Specifically buying preowned.

[@OsirisPL]

I liked it in pictures and vids so went to the dealer to try it on. I had two issues: 1. It's very polished and shiny - looked like a diver that you should only wear to the church. 2. The general design is more elegant that your average diver but there is a lot of text on the dial that clutters and messes up an otherwise classy design.

I couldn’t agree with you more! I think Breitling does a great job with this watch and really should get much more attention than it does.

[@mohitaggarwal1996]

I own a super ocean black bezel with black dial on alligator leather strap. This is by far my most worn watch. Simple, classy and best if want to keep it low profile. The dial is so clean and even the lume is great. It has a reflective coating which if you see from side will turn light into blue color reducing the reflection of light and this makes the watch so easy to read, i havent even seen this in other high end watches. This is an underrated masterpiece and should receive more love.

[@thomasjaeger2577]

Great video Teddy, I own it in 42 blue and LOVE it. One thing to note is that Breitling does not utilize the Silicon hairspring but a Nivarox. They believe its better to have an antimagnetic alloy which can be repaired in lieu of a completely antimagnetic silicon one which cannot be repaired and must be replaced. I think both are great just a difference of opinion on long term serviceability.

[@ewestre1]

I bought this watch (the black 42mm version) second hand in 2018, and have worn it until I bought my Blancpain FF Bathyscaphe 70’ies Day Date in July 2021 (also second hand). I still love and use my Breitling Superocean II, and the “blue hue” that Teddy talks about is no issue, at least to me. After all, this is the double coating to the sapphire glass that makes the dial, hands and indices look absolutely amazing, especially in dim light conditions. I have many times been arrested by the wife for not paying attantion to whatever series we are binging on Netflix, because I am staring at my Breitling and twisting my wrist to catch the light just right! But, I have to admit my Blancpain FF is a step above, but also these two cannot be compared like-for-like as they are very different tiers. Also I do not understand the use for the “wart” (some call it helium escape valve) on the Omega, and the Tudor crown looks the size of a tractor wheel to me. I work in the subsea business, so I know what a waste 99,9% of helium escape valve on watches are. I guess the same could be said for chronographs (especially on divers…), but each to their own. After all, we all tend to forget that: “Relax, it’s just a watch”.

Own it and love it, I ratcheted up the luxury aspect by getting it with the Red Gold bezel and dial. It's just stunning. I dialed the bling back a little by getting it on the black rubber strap. It's one of my favorite watches in my collection. While its a diver I very much consider it a dress watch too. Oh and Teddy I think you had a Boo Boo in your review. The B20 doesn't have a silicone hairspring Breitling swaps it out for a Nevrox, It's a Swatch thing they own both.

I am considering getting the Red Gold/Black bezel with the black rubber strap as well. My fear is it will be too flashy to wear on non dressy occasions. Do you still feel comfortable wearing yours with more casual attire?

[@robertsullivan4773]

@@brianmartinez1364 interesting question. I just put it on to consider your question. I have a modest collection of watches. Only one being a true dress watch. For instance I don't consider my Seamaster 300m Pro a dress watch or my Submariner. The Super Ocean Heritage.42mm B20 Red gold. I actually consider a hybrid. It's a dressy desk diver. I would wear it to a wedding and I wear it to church. But maybe not with jeans and a pull over. The gold makes it flashy but the black rubber tones it down. So I guess I'm saying its very versatile and I wear it from mid dress occasions to dressier occasions. But not afraid to wear it very casual just to show some flash. I know this wasn't very helpful. 😊

[@brianmartinez1364]

@Robert Sullivan that was helpful thank you. This is my first watch in this price point and I really love it. I am probably leaning towards just the blue or black without the gold to alleviate my concerns. I can always step up the flash in the future if I want. For my first watch like this though I will probably get the one I can wear on more casual occasions as an everyday watch.

[@aaronm8235]

As a former owner of this watch, I loved its sophisticated look and uniqueness. I’d get asked frequently, “What kind of watch is that?” However, two drawbacks. First, the bracelet looks amazing… when clean. At other times it looks a little dull as it’s interwoven style naturally traps dust and dirt. Second, and the reason I ultimately sold it, the markers on the bezel started to fade after less than two years of normal office wear. This was a huge construction quality issue for me and I couldn’t imagine how it would stand the test of time several years down the road.

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

WTH the markers on the bezel were fading? That’s awful!

[@AhmadAli-du2fq]

This is the type of comment I was hoping not to see. I’m looking for something that I will be using every day and beating the hell out of it.

[@retired_in_portugal]

I have the B20 in black with black rubber strap which helps dress it down. The watch definitely wears smaller that its dimensions with the lugs that turn down. Its very comfortable on my 6inch wrist. The fact that these watches are somewhat overlooked is for me all the more reason to buy one, who wants to pay a premium for a watch that everyone else is wearing.

Hmmm, I would put them about equal but Brietling has had some huge missteps and Superoceans suffer from being way too expensive and too shiny, and are now a plain old second tier luxuary brand without Tudors tool credability, without Tudors value, why would you pay for a huge desk diver from a second tier lux brand when you can get Seamasters and Planet Oceans for a little more on Chrono Let alone a BB for a grand less,from a brand with just as much cred as Brietling, which is a "mall brand" Omega isn't. You might rate them the same but dealers and collectors disagree. Hence the term Mall Brand

[@torontowatches9709]

Tudor has no history and no horological significance lol mall brand? You’re obviously a hater! Omega is owned by Richemont that’s why they can flex their movements Breitling is still independent company. Planet Ocean is 18mm thick for 600m, SO 42 is 13mm for 500m and 14 for 1000. Also the James Bond thing is such a gimmick! PLO prof a disaster and the pre bond Seamasters are a joke. Breitling is finally showing what it’s made of! One of the best luxury brands up there with Rolex Omega

[@jamesblonde2271]

@@torontowatches9709 Tudor has a much better history than Brietling as issued to British forces, Hans Wilsdorf, my point was their history was at least as significant as Brietling, more so in the aqatic arena. Many BB models are (short) waitlist, Pelagos is selling out or on order but no discounts and like Omega in the league above popular models are tricky to source and seldom in the window, in the same mall I can get any Brietling I want at a discount. This puts them in the same bracket as Tag, Huer realistically, another brand that has failed to leverage its illustrius history into a tier one brand identity, unlike ....Plus the re-sale is awful compared to both Tudor and Omega. Sorry if I wasn't clear before. Your opinions re models, the Plowprof is a significant part and icon of divewatches as is the blue seamaster, I agree about Bond, he shouldn't be wearing an Omega at all, dont forget back then Omega was the lux watch and Rolex the tool. The PO is a hockey puck and they should do a seamaster without the valve and the No Time to die is a awful faux butch horological codpeice of a watch that is trading at 50% but the numbers dont lie, also were you aware Brietling use Tudor movements and the BO1 is a collab between the two, so same movement, one costs less and returns your money, one costs more but looses more plus (imho) make you look like a yacht pimp.

[@tdaveniii]

Funny. I'd been shopping for dive watches and had finally settled on the Glashutte SeaQ Panorama Date or the Blancpain 50 Fathoms. Loved them both but had a tiny nit with each one -- and for $10k I'm not willing to have even a tiny nit. Ultimately, settled on the SuperOcean Heritage. Sure, a better power reserve would be great, and the history of the 50 Fathoms is compelling, but couldn't be happier.

Teddy, you mentioned that this watch has a silicone hairspring. My understanding is that in the B20, Breitling actually swapped out the silicone hairspring Tudor originally provided for a less desirable / less anti-magnetic hairspring. Am I incorrect in that regard? All that being said, I have owned the 42mm SOH II in blue for two years now. I work in an industrial environment actually known for "zapping" people's digital watches. Mine has never deviated from COSC standards. Love it- such a beauty.

I own the 42mm black on the black rubber strap. It’s stayed on my wrist everyday for almost 3 years. It’s taken a beating and never misses the mark. Only when I have to change the date because of 30 days.

[@kevinp4305]

Great review. I think it's nice to see videos on the overlooked SuperOcean line. I think the reason it is overlooked is definitely due to the Breitling brand stigma. Yes, they have been definitely making strides with many of their recent releases, but the brand as a whole needs to be trimmed down significantly otherwise it will turn into a higher priced Tag Heuer. The SMP 300 on the strap runs for $4900 and the BB58 is $3700. The B20 is around $4850. Most consumers will opt for the Omega or Tudor over the Breitling simply because of brand recognition. I own a black SO Special, which I absolutely love. It's stealthy and has great wrist presence. However, I do want to get the SMP 300 at some point because in imo it is the best diver under 8k.

[@chelious1973]

Huh. Tudor isnt in the same league as Brietling as far as recogination is concerned. Omega and Brietling are on equal terms. Tudor is not. They cant compete on the high end, for example they have nothing to compare to a navitimer. Rolex, Omega, Brietling are in the same class. Tudor is not.

The issue with Brietling is that you can buy a Navitimer and most of their line pre-owned under 5K. That also goes for Tudor. This is why those brands are not in the same league as Rolex.

The one that you have has better lume, significantly thinner and better movement imo especially Breitlings etas. I own both your watch and this and the 2 42 is definitely my favorite. The lume on the heritage is so poor it bothers me so much, ready to sell it but the bracelet and Bezel always keep me from doing so.

The B logo is the original logo. Given this is a heritage diver the B logo is more accurate to its history. Dont mind the wings on the Navitimer since its aviator watch.

[@BlakeC341]

Just got a SOHII 44 in blue and it's incredible in person. I opted for the Milanese (mesh) bracelet though mainly because it's a better value in terms of lengevity and aesthetics (IMO). I also found a guy in Vietnam that makes bespoke high-end leather straps that can replicate the looks of the vintage style leather straps at roughly one-fourth the cost of what Breitling charges. I highly recommend this model and you won't regret getting one.

[@WatchUnwind]

Hey Blake you bring up a good point. Breitling has some of the most expensive straps/bracelets out there. It’s pretty bananas what they charge.

@@WatchUnwind yeah those prices are absurd and comical but it evidently comes with the territory in the luxury watch market. I've had a few other luxury watches that I wore and enjoyed for a few years but then sold and nearly recouped my entire initial principal. So worrying about service and replacement costs has never been of concern for me.

[@tubetop123]

Such an elegant watch. I almost pulled the trigger on the all blue one a few years ago. But couldn't justify the price

[@alexschuebert539]

Thanks for this video! Yes, the Heritage 2 should get more attention. But I also like the understatement which comes with it. I found it by far the most esthetic watch in the segment. I tried among others also the Omega but I really got a problem with this thin rubber band which does not fit to the watch at all.

[@Narweeboy]

Recently bought a Breitling and had seriously contemplated this Super Ocean heritage watch but 42mm with 50mm lug-to-lug was just too big for my 17cm wrist. Finally, settled for Aviator 41 Warhawk. Breitling needs to move away from the large bling watch mode and create 38-41mm variants.

[@Steve-id5qx]

Yes! They have beautiful styling, but are too large. The oversized watch trend needs to die.

[@marcd7332]

@@marcd7332 most of the 38mm are discontinued... Currently there’s only the pastel collection... not for everyone

[@michaelriera6277]

Did you actually try it on? I have 6.5 wrist and the fit was perfect. It wears even smaller than the Seamaster due to a smaller dial and slimmer fit. Bling! The watch is almost entirely brushed... there is no bling! Do you find the Submariner or Seamaster too bling because they both have more polish than the Breitling. Just my opinion hope you enjoy your Aviator also a great piece.

[@gregs8685]

Agreed they are too big. 38-39 mm is sweet spot.

[@joelopic]

Simply beautiful and a more attractive piece aesthetically than both Tudor, Omega and Rolex for that matter. Definately my pick. Only criticism is the gap between the end link and the case. A curved end link would fit better.

[@makingcookingfixing]

I agree about the gap between the end link and case. It makes it look like the bracelet came from another watch.

People need to pay more attention to Breitling now before the demand for it exceeds the supply! They have been churning out fantastic timepieces ever since Georges Kern took over!

[@stephenw1799]

I was looking for a new watch to celebrate a big birthday. Rolex was 4 to 6 year waiting list at my AD for the Submariner and Batman. The Swatch Omega thing put me off the Seamaster 300M and I don't like the Tudor brand also no one knows Tudor in my country. So i went on a search and came across the SuperOcean Heritage B20 which grew on me very quickly as it does look great. After researching and pretty much mostly positive reviews I purchased and i couldn't be happier with the watch. I have 7.5 inch wrist and the 42 is the perfect size for me, I don't like a large watch. I also love the dark blue hue on the black dial. The want for a Rolex has disappeared weirdly.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Ugh. Can we PLEASE STOP talking about Breitling & talk more about Rolex. Maybe the submariner. Thnx. 😜😜😜 (jk. This was perfection)

[@AL-HitZ]

Shut up

[@jz2188]

For the folks slating Tudor, The Breitling Superocean Héritage II is powered by the automatic B20 caliber that came from a collaboration with Tudor, as Breitling mainly just shipped in third party movements (ETA) for years and recently started their own in-house movements department, they turned to Tudor as a leader in expertise, then a chrono was developed and a modified Breitling B01 movement appears in latest Tudor chronographs range so they are very much partners. Generally Breitling is now using the Tudor in-house MT5612 (dropped ETA) apart from the B20 line models, Maybe do some research or ask a watch guy, your Breitlings are Tudor inside the case . The limited edition (of 250) Green dial SuperOceans still use ETA movements as they were set aside as a custom run, manager of the Breitling NYC store told me over a few G&T's upstairs a while back in the customer suite, apparently it takes 8 months of processing to get a green dial to that finish, if it didn't have the ETA in it, I would have the green model over all others in the line for looks and exclusivity.

Worth mentioning that Breitling decorated their adopted B20 movement compared to the undecorated tudor mt5612 and swapped the nivachron hairspring into a metal hairspring which is less antimagnatisim.

[@TickSweep]

I tried this watch on a couple of weeks ago and I loved it the mesh bracelet is fantastic as well

[@juniorgallo8786]

ThanksTeddy, great video as always! It would be great a smaller case for the line, as the sizes start at 42 up to 46mm, just too big for the small wrist enthusiast. I know this is somehow expected from Breitling, they are larger in size than average, but the "chuncky watch on steroids" is a fading trend in my opinion. Rolex move back to 36mm the Explorer I line, Cartier Tank is getting more popular in the last 2-3 years, so there are good indications of this tendency. Cheers mate.

Great review, Teddy! This is a nice piece that doesn't likely get the attention it deserves. This watch would easily fill the same space as an Omega Seamaster or Rolex Sub but it somehow doesn't get the respect that those pieces do.

[@jamesblonde2271]

Because its too shiny (like the new sub), because its too expensive, because some of the re-issues are only 100 meteres, because they have no real Ocean heritage (Kelly Slater no-withstanding) selling "Super" dive watches without a lume pip, rubbish loom generally.

[@andrewyoung5126]

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head with your comments on the competition. I do like this watch and would happily wear it however, the styling of the black bay 58 appeals more to me and it’s cheaper. I’d rather save a bit of money and have the Tudor. If my budget were larger then the fifty fathoms would get my business. Still, it’s a great watch and nicely executed.

First off, amazing camera work and close ups. From Breitling, I’d love to see a black dial Chronomat 36. Not sure why they market this as a female watch. It’s a great looking unisex watch and the black dial will cinch the deal for me. Love the rouleaux bracelet too.

[@egza2062]

Have the black one in 42mm with rubber strap. A really beautiful watch, fits fantastic at my really slim wrist. Wear it every day in quite every situation. Deviation +4/+5s per day, could be better but yeah, certification. So now is my dream a Rolex Rootbeer GMT2 just because it’s a Rolex and quite pretty, maybe in 15 years then…

[@john-carlosynostroza]

Teddy, love your work. Nobody ever answers my question about them not putting numerals on the bezel. Please address this. How can this even be considered a dive watch without the use of the bezel even really possible unless you want to spend three times longer trying to look at the hash marks? Why not just make this a 10m dive watch if you aren't actually going to make it usable in other ways? I know that nobody is really diving in these but I use my timing bezel all the time for cooking and for the gym and other things like that. Would love to have this watch but it's just not useful. Thoughts? Thank you so much my friend and keep it up!

[@mrbadguysan]

I think this is nicer than a Black Bay and I reckon you could get it for a lot less than retail.

Love the look of the blue dial version but i don't like a watch to dominate my wrist and even at 42mm this watch looks too big on my 7.5inch wrist. I would definitely consider if it was a 40mm. The twodoor movement is a put off but not a deal breaker.
