With earth-toned hues and chic tweed, Breitling’s newest capsule collection takes its cues from a trek through the Scottish Highlands.
Breitling’s 1950s-era SuperOcean dive watch was designed to take its stylish wearers from sea to shore and back again. Now, the new Superocean Heritage ’57 Highlands Capsule Collection invites Breitling fans on a new coastal journey: exploring the rocky shores and misty peaks of the Scottish Highlands.

As a capsule collection, the range counts a limited volume, available for a limited time. Each piece comes at a 38 mm diameter, featuring vibrant land-and-sea-inspired dial colours of beige, green, mustard, and blue. Like their vintage SuperOcean predecessor, they feature mid-century-inspired
triangular indexes marking the hours.
One distinctly Scottish detail showcased throughout the Highlands Capsule Collection is a tweed-inspired fabric strap, made of a sumptuous blend of silk and wool. All the watches are sold on a metal mesh bracelet, while the complementary fabric strap comes in a separate pouch, along with a springboard tool for easy strap changes.
Each subtly speckled, tweed-inspired strap complements its coloured dial: the blue version is paired with a dark brown strap, the beige dial with a classic brown strap, and both the green and the mustard-toned dials with a green strap. For those who like to mix and match, an additional blue strap can be purchased separately.
