The extreme popularity of the Breitling Superocean Heritage watch from a few years back was one of the major inspiration points of the whole vintage-looking watch craze. However, watch lovers would be amiss to neglect the most contemporary offerings their favorite brands make available. Breitling followed up the Superocean Heritage with a brand new Superocean last year. Sometimes called the Superocean Abyss, it comes in both 42mm and 44mm wide styles.

Breitling is a luxury Swiss watch brand which has long and prestigious ties to the aviation industry. Early Breitling watches were created with pilot’s needs and aviation functions as their prime responsibility, which meant they often came with an oversized face; allowing for better visibility and extra information to be displayed on them.

These days, this approach to design is still apparent within the brand's whole range - although the large, oversized construction of a Breitling watch is now considered more of a status symbol for most men, rather than a practical instrument.

In 1884, a watchmaker named Léon Breitling sat down in his workshop in the Swiss Jura to make chronographs and precision counters for scientific and industrial purposes. He was ambitious, but little did he know that his handiwork would kickstart a revolution in the world of aviation, and one of the most exclusive luxury brands in the world.
