While the SO Heritage B20 pays tribute to its forefather (the iconic 1957 Superocean) with its old school good looks, it is a high performing, high-tech diver’s watch.
It features an ultra-hard, scratch-proof, high-tech ceramic bezel in blue to match its sun-brushed dial and is powered by an officially certified chronometer, Breitling’s Cal. B20.
The B20 Caliber automatic mechanical movement is a high frequency, Manufacture movement with 28 jewels, a beat rate of 28,800 vph and an autonomy of approx. 70hrs.
It is based in Tudor's MT5612.
The watch's 200m water-resistant, 42mm in diameter Stainless steel case is fitted with an 18k red gold diver’s bezel with said blue ceramic inlay plus a matching red gold dive-time scale.
Color-coded to the watch’s blue dial with its golden hands and markers; is a blue rubber diver’s strap inspired by a Milanese shark-mesh bracelet.
If you aren’t down with the faux shark-mesh, the watch can also be configured with a full Stainless steel mesh bracelet.
MSRP is 5’715USD Excl. Sales Tax. Thoughts?
I can’t say that I’m a huge fan of gold; firstly I can’t afford it plus it won’t hold up very well over time unless it’s part of some sort of mega expensive, high-tech alloy – but this is pretty damn classy especially on the steel mesh. What do you think?
