Breitling celebrates its 140th anniversary.

On Thursday 12 September, to mark the company's 140th anniversary, the Breitling boutique in Lyon organised an exclusive evening dedicated to the prestigious watchmaker's archive watches.

An event in collaboration with Upper Shoes

The event aimed to highlight a rare selection of vintage watches, graciously on loan from Breitling

. The evening took place at 102 rue du Président Édouard Herriot, in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Over cocktails, watch enthusiasts were able to discover the brand's iconic models, which continue to influence the current collections.

The evening also included a workshop on leather care and a glazing demonstration by a master shoemaker from the Upper Shoes boutique.

The SUPER OCEAN HERITAGE collection, inspired by the DEEP SEA model

During the evening, our guests had the opportunity to discover the first emblematic model in the Super Océan collection, Deep sea.

In 1983, Breitling pushed the technical boundaries even further with the launch of the SuperOcean Deep Sea, an extreme version of its diving icon.
Whereas the SuperOcean watches of the 50s and 60s were suitable for both experienced divers and elegant beach outings, the Deep Sea, with its impressive water resistance of 1000 metres, is designed exclusively for the most hardened divers. This exceptional water resistance is made possible by a reinforced case back and a patented helium valve, which prevents the watch from exploding on ascent by releasing the accumulated gas.

Inspired by the original SuperOcean launched by Breitling in 1957, the SuperOcean Heritage collection revisits diving watches with a touch of elegance.
These models combine legendary features with refined modernity, offering a maritime style that is both sporty and chic. Whether you're a diving enthusiast or a watchmaking enthusiast, the SuperOcean Heritage offers a wide range of models to meet all your expectations
