Offered for sale is this superb Breitling Superocean Heritage B20 Automatic 42, reference AB20102B1B1S1, a particularly rare UK-market limited edition produced in just 500 pieces. (WatchBase)
This special edition takes the timeless design of Breitling's Superocean Heritage and gives it a much more unusual appearance through its distinctive anthracite/grey sunburst dial. Depending on the light, the dial changes considerably in character, moving from deep charcoal tones to a lighter metallic grey, beautifully complemented by the polished applied hour markers and signature Superocean hands.
The watch is housed in a 42mm stainless-steel case and features a black unidirectional dive bezel with ceramic insert. The combination of the dark dial, black bezel and black mesh-style rubber strap gives the watch a sophisticated, understated appearance while retaining the purposeful character expected of the Superocean collection. The Superocean Heritage platform offers 200 metres of water resistance, a screw-locked crown and cambered sapphire crystal glareproofed on both sides. (Breitling)

What makes reference AB20102B1B1S1 particularly interesting is its scarcity. Rather than being part of the regular worldwide Superocean Heritage collection, this configuration was created as a limited edition of only 500 watches for the UK market, making it substantially less common than the standard black and blue versions. (WatchBase)
The exclusive grey/anthracite dial is the defining feature of the edition. Its sunburst finish reacts dramatically to different lighting conditions and gives the watch a far more individual character than the regular-production models.
For collectors of modern Breitling limited editions, this combination of low production numbers, market-specific specification and an unusual dial colour makes the AB20102B1B1S1 a particularly appealing Superocean Heritage.
Presented in excellent overall condition, the watch shows only light signs of careful wear. The stainless-steel case presents extremely well, while the ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal and striking grey dial remain beautifully preserved.
As pictured, the watch is accompanied by its Breitling presentation/travel case, Breitling documentation/warranty card holder, Additional Breitling Mesh bracelet and outer Breitling presentation box, making this a very attractive collector's set.
Please study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description.
The Superocean Heritage is inspired by Breitling's original dive watches of the 1950s, combining the distinctive triangular hands and classic dive-watch proportions of the historic models with modern materials and engineering. (Breitling)
This 500-piece UK Limited Edition takes that already successful formula and adds genuine rarity. The unusual anthracite sunburst dial, ceramic bezel, manufacture B20 movement and versatile 42mm proportions make it equally suited to daily wear or inclusion within a serious Breitling collection.
With only 500 examples produced, the Breitling Superocean Heritage B20 Automatic 42 AB20102B1B1S1 is an uncommon opportunity to acquire one of the more distinctive and difficult-to-find modern Superocean Heritage references.
