Breitling India unveils a new local campaign with Friend of the Brand and acclaimed photographer Rohan Shrestha, which dives deeper into the essence of Breitling’s updated Superocean Heritage collection.
The campaign film, shot by Shrestha himself, explores his personal connection with the ocean. For Shrestha, the ocean represents boundless freedom and self-discovery. It is here, amidst the infinite blues, that he reconnects with himself, and it is here that the Breitling Superocean Heritage becomes his trusted companion.

His creativity, authenticity, and adventurous spirit align seamlessly with the DNA of the Breitling Superocean Heritage. Through his lens and storytelling, he brings alive the essence of our timepieces in a way that deeply resonates with our audience.”
On his collaboration with Breitling, Rohan Shrestha shared: “Breitling has always been a brand close to my heart. I still remember, as a kid, dreaming of one day owning a Breitling. To now be associated with the brand and become part of the Breitling family feels like life has truly come full circle. It’s an honour to collaborate on this journey with the new Superocean Heritage.”
The Superocean Heritage is no ordinary sea watch – it never was. When Breitling first launched it in 1957, it took a different tack from other dive watches of the era. The Ref. 1004 (a sleek time-only piece) and Ref. 807 (the world’s first dedicated dive chronograph) weren’t just about exploring the underwater world – they were about looking good doing it.
The spear- and-arrow hands, anodized rotating bezel, and naturally sleek proportions made it a favourite of stylish adventurers who lived for the sea and the scene. Today, that philosophy is still at the core of the Superocean Heritage. It has the soul of the 1950s, but it’s designed for today.
This refresh takes everything that made the Superocean Heritage distinctive and makes it even sharper. The collection includes a 42 mm chronograph, powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, the brand’s industry-leading timekeeping movement. The automatic models, in 44 mm, 42 mm, and 40 mm introduce the B31 movement, Breitling’s first exclusive three-hand manufacture caliber, newly launched in March. A further 36 mm houses the Caliber 10 automatic movement.
The collection’s color palette has been streamlined to a core of black, blue, and green, paired with a matching ceramic- inlayed bezel for next-level scratch resistance that will keep the watch looking new long into the future. Thinner, more integrated mesh-metal and mesh-rubber bracelets ensure a watertight fit against the case, complete with folding clasps for a seamless finish.
