Review the New Breitling Superocean Heritage '57 Replica Watches

Breitling maintains its third collaboration with Outerknown, the sustainable clothing brand founded by professional surfer Kelly Slater, always in keeping with its mastery of craftsmanship. The platform of the partnership is the Breitling Superocean Heritage '57 replica, which embodies the minimalist design of a traditional dive watch, the elegant brown color scheme runs throughout the dial, flows into the ECONYL yarn strap, and subtly displays the Outerknown logo. Let's take a look.

The new Outerknown watches

We get two co-branded Outerknown watches: the first, a non-limited (though not numbered, it’s likely to be limited in production, like the other two Outerknown references) replica Superocean ’57 in stainless steel A103703A1Q1W1; and the second U103701A1Q1W1 replica, a properly limited edition bi-color reference with a stainless steel case body and a 18ct rose gold bezel with matching gold hour markers – a combination that brings the copper dial to life, and really sells the warm, tropical vibe that brings this pitch-perfect re-edition full circle. As we’ve seen with past replica Outerknown watches, both references come fitted on a super-soft, brown ‘Econyl’ nylon NATO strap, Breitling’s own sustainable strap option produced from recycled ghost nets. It’s a small, though not insignificant touch that aligns with Outerknown’s own mission of producing premium, yet fully sustainable apparel, while tying back to Breitling’s own path towards neutralizing its carbon footprint – a path which only recently now includes fully recycled packaging.

The Movement

The copy Breitling Superocean Outerknown watches are both powered by Breitling’s Calibre 10 automatic movement, an ETA 2892-A2 movement, a historically reliable, and markedly thin ebauche, which has enabled Breitling to preserve the classically svelte 9mm thickness of the ’57. According to Breitling historian Fred Mandelbaum, this was also the principle reason as to why Breitling’s own in-house Calibre 20 movement wasn’t used, as it would have dramatically increased the thickness of the watch, and potentially compromised the elegance of its lug design.

Granted, it also doesn’t hurt that the water resistance of the ’57 is only 100 meters, which also helps keep the profile slim, though let’s not forget that this watch occupies the growing category of ‘skin diver’ watches, which don’t present themselves as professional divers, but rather handsome, recreational sport watches that transition effortlessly from reef to poolside to happy hour, with no costume changes between.
