Breitling Superocean Heritage Ii B01 Chronograph 44 Appraisal

Breitling Superocean Heritage II B01 Chronograph 44

This is a luxury Breitling Superocean Heritage II B01 Chronograph 44 wristwatch. The timepiece features a robust 44mm stainless steel case with a sophisticated two-tone aesthetic, highlighted by an 18k red gold unidirectional rotating bezel with a black ceramic ring. The black dial is organized with a tri-compax chronograph layout, featuring sub-dials at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, along with a day-date window at the 9 o'clock position near the Breitling logo. The watch is equipped with large sword-shaped hands and luminescent index hour markers for high visibility. It is paired with a black Aero Classic rubber strap that mimics the texture of a mesh Milanese bracelet, secured with a push-button folding clasp. Notable markings include the 'BREITLING' name and winged logo, 'SUPEROCEAN' branding, and 'CHRONOMETER' certification text. The condition appears to be excellent with no significant scratches visible on the ceramic bezel or sapphire crystal, though minor surface micro-abrasions may be present on the polished steel flanks. This model represents a modern interpretation of the 1950s diver's watch, combining vintage heritage styling with the high-performance manufacture Caliber B01 automatic movement. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the precision of the knurled bezel edge and the intricate texture of the rubber strap.
