Breitling Superocean Heritage AB2030161C1S1

The case measures 44mm across and 14.55mm thick. Case material: Stainless steel. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

Automatic, Breitling Manufacture Caliber B20 (based on the Tudor MT5612), COSC chronometer. Power reserve is 70 hours.

It is rated to 200 meters, about 656 feet. That is a diving rating: it is built for scuba use, not just for getting wet. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

Documented Breitling scheme: leading letter = case material (A = stainless steel; E = titanium, H = 18kt rose gold, L = platinum, M = blacksteel, R = red gold, V = black titanium, X = Breitlight). A 'B' before the caliber number denotes a Breitling Manufacture caliber, so AB20 = steel case with Manufacture Caliber B20; no B prefix indicates a third-party base. Caliber numbers 10-49 mechanical, 50+ quartz. Documented dial letters include C = blue, matching C1 here. Trailing strap code not decoded - no documented source found. Breitling does not publish this scheme. It is compiled from collector documentation and reads as a reliable guide rather than a manufacturer specification.. Reading the reference is the fastest way to confirm that a watch is what the seller says it is, before you get anywhere near the movement.
