Hands-On: Breitling Superocean Heritage II Beverly Hills Limited-Edition Watch Replica

Restricted to just 50 pieces, this specific form of the Breitling Superocean Heritage II watch replica was created together with Breitling's boutique retail partners in Los Angeles and honors the opening of the still-new Breitling boutique in Beverly Hills located on Via Rodeo off the famed Rodeo Drive shopping avenue. The timepiece is formally referred to as Breitling Superocean Heritage B20 Automatic 44 Beverly Hills Limited Edition replica (reference UB20303A1B1S1), co-produced with Westime, you are able to reead my full review around the Breitling Superocean Heritage II B20 42 watch replica here.

The Case

Breitling is going for maximum global appeal with its watches, which is why many of them come in various sizes. Perhaps no company next to Breitling has spent so much time experimenting with producing various sizes of the same watch models (sold at the same time). The strategy might make the current collection appear confusing to consumers, but in reality, it helps Breitling market the same watches around the world but with the ability to cater to more particular consumer preferences such as case size. As such, this 44mm-wide version of the Breitling Superocean Heritage II replica is more or less the exact same watch as the 42mm-wide version, just a bit larger. The diver-style watch is also water-resistant to 200 meters and has a domed sapphire crystal over the dial. The unidirectional rotating timing bezel has a black ceramic insert with gold-tone markers etched in.
The Breitling Superocean Heritage II B20 Automatic 44 Black Steel Beverly Hills Edition watch replica comes in a DLC-coated stainless steel case with an 18K red gold ridged unidirectional bezel and a scratch-resistant black ceramic insert with gold graduations. Matching the bezel is a gold arrow-tipped hour hand, sword-shaped minute hand, and baton-shaped seconds hand, along with gold applied indices.

The Strap

The watch is matched to a black rubber strap that has a mesh pattern similar to the mesh metal (Milanese) bracelets available. Today, the Superocean Heritage replica remains the absolute best-selling timepiece collection sold by Breitling. While the black rubber strap is of high quality (and it is paired with one of Breitling’s very good black-colored metal deployant clasps), I think it’s natural to envision this watch on a matching two-tone black and 18k red gold bracelet. Black and gold watches were in for a while but are still quite niche by today’s standards. I look forward to the look making a comeback.

The Style

Style-wise, the mostly sober black tones of the watch are elegantly warmed by the 18k red gold, which takes what would otherwise be a serious sport watch into luxury style territory. In a lot of ways, this Beverly Hills Limited-Edition version of the Superocean Heritage II 44 replica is a very “L.A. watch” given its focus on masculine looks and size, but with some undeniable flashiness to it.  Those with a penchant for black and rose/red gold will certainly find that this Breitling watch can fit their style — and it makes for a solid daily wear, to boot. I’d say that a host of additional strap choices might help further change this watch’s personality.

The Caseback

Inside the watch is a movement produced by Swiss Tudor — an entirely different watch brand that is part of the Rolex watch replica family. The movement inside the watch is called the Breitling caliber B20 but is actually the Tudor-produced MT5612 automatic movement, which operates at 4Hz with 70 hours of power reserve and has a COSC chronometer certificate. Tudor, in turn, makes use of the Breitling-made Caliber B01 automatic chronograph movement for some of its chronograph watches. I have called this situation the “Swiss movement exchange program,” playfully, since the choice for these two brands to swap movements is novel and interesting to timepiece enthusiasts. The case has a domed sapphire crystal, screw-down crown, and screw-in caseback (engraved with “BEVERLY HILLS EDITION” and the edition number X/50).
