First, looking at the overall design, the GF Breitling Superocean Héritage II 42mm features a scratch-resistant and shockproof high-tech ceramic bezel, which is durable and wear-resistant. Each silver scale is deeply treated with platinum electroplating, making it less prone to oxidation. It can be cleaned with water when dirty, completely solving problems such as darkening or fading with repeated wiping. Below the ceramic bezel is a unidirectional rotating 316L stainless steel outer ring with a 120-tooth design. It is finely carved by CNC machine tools and then polished, exuding a full sense of texture.
The GF Factory Superocean Héritage II wristwatch has a case diameter of 42mm and features a curved sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-glare treatment, allowing a clear view of the clean workmanship of the entire dial. The design is simple and elegant. Below the 12 o’clock position is the Breitling logo. The rose gold hour markers are three-dimensional, consistent in size with the original. Focusing on the hands at the central axis, it adopts a classic three-hand design. The length and polishing of the hands perfectly match the genuine product, and the tips of the hands are processed to be extremely round without any burrs.
With a diameter of 42 mm, the GF Super Ocean Culture II has a curved sapphire crystal and double-sided anti-glare treatment, so you can clearly see that the entire dial is relatively clean, and the design is very simple and atmospheric. The lower side of the 12 o’clock position is the logo design of Breitling, the rose gold hour marker design is very three-dimensional, the size of the original is the same, first look at the pointer at the center of the shaft, the classic large three-hand design, the length and polishing degree of the pointer perfectly fit the genuine product, the front end of the pointer is very rounded, there is no burr.
The hour markers on the dial are polished to such a fine degree that metallic reflections can be seen even without magnification, indicating meticulous finishing of the baton hour markers. The position and size of the hour markers are also highly consistent with the original version. The hour markers are perfectly embedded and flush with the dial, rather than being printed. It should be noted that when purchasing, watch enthusiasts should pay attention to the raised dots on the outer side of the baton hour markers, which are not flat! A date display window is set at the 6 o’clock position, and the size and font of the date display window are identical to the original.
The case of GF Factory’s Superocean Héritage II is forged from 316 stainless steel. The two sides are finely polished and designed with layered structures, which significantly reduces the visual thickness of the watch. The lugs integrated with the case bend backward to form a very natural arc. While connecting the case and the strap, they ingeniously adjust the case proportion and ensure wearing comfort.
Since the Breitling Superocean Héritage II is a deep-diving watch, it is equipped with a screw-in crown. Every Breitling model from GF Factory undergoes water pressure testing, ensuring no issues for deep diving. At the crown part, we can still see GF Factory’s meticulous craftsmanship: the logo restores the three-dimensional effect of the genuine product, and the anti-slip area is polished quite finely, which Bokey must praise. The screw positions on the side bezel also reflect GF’s high precision.
The case back features a solid design, and its polishing is extraordinarily fine, resembling a smooth mirror that clearly reflects the shooting environment. The Breitling logo and engravings on the case back are also extremely precise and neatly arranged. GF Factory’s V2 version of the Breitling Superocean Héritage II is equipped with an Asia-2824 movement, while the original uses a B20 movement. The time and date adjustment directions are consistent with the original. GF Factory previously launched a version with a 9015 movement (V1 version), but the time and date adjustment directions of the 9015 movement did not match the original, which was criticized by enthusiasts. Thus, it was replaced with the 2824 movement, leading to the 2824-powered version being designated as V2.
Regarding the strap, this Superocean Héritage II wristwatch is available with two options: a stainless steel braided Milanese bracelet and a rubber strap. First, let’s talk about the black rubber strap – it is soft in texture and extremely comfortable to wear. The outer side of the strap is decorated with a braided design, making it more eye-catching and exuding a stylish sporty vibe. It is highly durable for both diving and summer wear. The buckle is a stainless steel pin buckle, convenient to fasten, with the Breitling logo engraved clearly and completely on it.
The braided steel strap is characterized by its freely detachable and adjustable length. Under fine polishing, its reflective effect is more outstanding than that of ordinary steel straps, and even if scratched, it still looks “new” and shiny! The 1:1 stainless steel folding buckle can be perfectly interchanged with the genuine product. The buckle is a folding type, engraved with Breitling’s unique logo, which seemingly elevates the replica technology of this wristwatch to a higher level. The inner side of the buckle is also cleanly processed, with clear internal engravings and moderate depth.
To summarize, this GF Factory Breitling Superocean Héritage II is available in black, white, and blue color options. As a diving watch, it has always been renowned for its high-strength and high-performance waterproof features, making it a favorite among diving enthusiasts. Of course, it can also be worn as a business watch.
