A NEKKID review of the limited edition Breitling super ocean heritage 57 from Breitlings capsule range. Limited to 1000 pieces and to raise money for the global frontline health worker charity.
THE STORY
The Superocean Heritage ’57 Capsule collection pays tribute to the original 1957 SuperOcean and the cool, laid-back surfing lifestyle of the 1960s. This colorful variation comes in a limited edition of 1000 pieces. The 42 mm stainless-steel case features two signature elements of the original SuperOcean: a concave bidirectional ceramic bezel and a dial featuring oversized indices. Paired with a mesh bracelet or a gold brown calfskin leather strap that fits both a stainless-steel pin or folding buckle, this colorful Superocean Heritage ‘57 is powered by the Breitling Caliber 10, a COSC-certified chronometer.A LIMITED EDITION SUPPORTING OUR FRONTLINE HEROES IN THE GLOBAL FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19
