I am all for projects that do good, particularly those with a focus on nature conservation. When I heard the partnership was with Outerknown and Slater though, I was really stoked. The watch itself is 44mm, in a black DLC-coated stainless steel case with the Outerknown logo engraved on the caseback.
The COSC-certified chronometer features an ultra-hard scratch and shock-resistant unidirectional ceramic bezel with a luminescent central dot at the 12 o’clock position. The Superocean Héritage II Chronograph 44 Outerknown is powered by the Breitling Caliber 13 mechanical chronograph movement, which is based on a Valjoux 7750 and has the familiar three-register layout with day and date at three o’clock. The blue dial is great, with a really rich tonality that is further complemented by the all-important strap.
“We are happy to have this chance to strengthen our collaboration with Kelly Slater, who is a member of our Surfers Squad and co-founder of Outerknown,” said Breitling CEO Georges Kern at an event in London last week. “By introducing the ECONYL yarn strap, we are taking another important step in our commitment to sustainability. We are looking forward to introducing other great watches equipped with these straps in the future.” I applaud Breitling for looking at ways at integrating sustainability to their products while still making sure the products themselves are of high quality and good design.
