Hi Breitling fans,

This morning I woke up and saw the striking black dial version of the new Superocean Heritage '57. Look at this beauty:

It's a tribute to the original Breitling diving watch from '57:

This watch is really wonderful. I'm pretty sure there is not a rep of it yet, since it's a quite new model. If it ever comes... However, if anyone finds one, comment on this topic! I NEED IT :)

Comment down below what you guys think of it?

Have a good one and thanks.

I was skeptical at first if it would even be feasible to replicate, due to it’s thinness at 9.9mm, a true skin diver!

I’ve just researched a bit about the movement used, that is the Breitling Caliber 10 (ETA 2892 based) which can be sourced and is used in its asian iteration in many examples already.

All a factory needs is a market for it, and that is yet to be discovered.

Thank you for your research. I am pleased to hear that a rep version of the Superocean Heritage '57 is feasible (at least regarding the movement). Let's wait and see wich factory jumps on this first.

Thanks for researching that indeed. I hope a factory jumps on it. Superocean is quite a popular watch though, and this is a special one!

Still waiting on this one! Come on rep factories! I might buy a Rado captain cook to scratch the itch for this watch lol.

I bought the Breitling Superocean Heritage II Chrono 44mm Outerknown M13313 made by OXF (formally ANF). It is a very nice watch. I added a photo of my watch with a Gen Breitling strap and an ANF Deployant.

I also bought a Superocean Heritage 46mm by ANF now OMF. Keep in mind OMF is not as good as GF. But with this watch, you don't have any other options. Only our members could tell it was a Rep. This is a QC pic with the plastic still on the mesh bracelet. I didn't have time to take a photo.

Has anyone seen anything more about this apparent release by Original Factory? It popped up in a Facebook group a couple days ago.

Have not heard anything about it yet. But if it’s Original factory they made the Aquaracer x Bamford which was stunning so keen to see more details.

I'm trying to find a way to justify a price like that but I just can't. It's disappointing to hear.
