Is your surfboard ready and waxed? Have you put on your gear? Breitling will create for you a watch that shows off a great eco-friendly personality both in the water and on land.
A third inspiration from the beach boys and surf session vibes, this is the result of a collaboration between Breitling and the sustainable clothing brand created by surfing legend Kelly Slater! This 42 mm diameter watch, water-resistant to 100 meters, is proposed in two versions to best match your personality. And, in either the steel model or the steel and red gold blend, the Superocean Heritage ’57 Outerknown embodies an easygoing style designed specifically for board sports with its ultra-retro design. To further set off this cool look, the case and its impressive concave rotating bezel, surrounded by a ceramic ring, are topped by a domed sapphire crystal. The set is complemented by a brown strap, made of Outerknown by ECONYL®, a material made from nylon waste.
The basic time data on the dial side are very easy to read. The hour and minute hands, made of bronze and covered with Super-LumiNova®, hover over a highly graphic hour chapter that includes an index and minute tracker.
The Breitling Caliber 10 (power reserve 42 hours) is equipped with a bidirectional winding mechanism. Its chronometric accuracy is COSC-certified (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute). To obtain this label, the movement was subjected to a series of tests in 5 positions and at three different temperatures (8°C, 23° and 38°C) for 15 days. At the end of the rigorous testing, the average daily time variation was between -4 and +6 seconds.
