Bearing the AB0162121G1S1 reference, this Breitling Superocean B01 silver superclone features a silver chronograph dial in the Heritage sub-line, which takes the Superocean design language back to the 1950s and 1960s originals. The 44mm stainless steel case pairs with a black rubber strap, combining the retro dial aesthetic with a modern wearing experience suited to rain and sweat. The silver dial surface uses applied indices and three black subdials in a reverse-panda layout, so the registers read clearly against the light background. This is a Heritage piece that prioritizes visual restraint over tool-watch aggression. For context, our guide shows how the Superocean compares with a Submariner or Seamaster.

Why the Indices Seem to Float

The Heritage line uses a domed sapphire crystal that mirrors the acrylic profiles found on original 1957 Superocean references. This curvature adds visual depth to the silver dial, making applied indices appear to float slightly above the surface.

Clone Cal. B01 Instead of a Certified B01

Behind the silver dial sits a clone Cal. B01, an automatic chronograph with its date window between 4 and 5 o’clock. On the genuine, the B01 is COSC-certified and shown through a sapphire display caseback; the clone carries no chronometer certificate, and it stores about 55 hours against the genuine’s 70. The rubber strap on this reference sets it apart from the more common mesh bracelet versions seen in Heritage catalogs. For contrast, the orange-dial Superocean A173751A1O1S1 takes a bolder visual approach within the same family. Both belong to the Superocean collection, but silver reads quiet and understated where orange demands attention.

Timing With the Three Black Registers

The pusher at 2 o’clock starts and stops the chronograph, and the pusher at 4 resets it. The central hand counts the seconds, the register at 3 adds up to 30 minutes and the register at 6 up to 12 hours, while the register at 9 shows the running seconds of the time. On the silver dial, the black registers make a reading easy at a glance.

Silver Superocean B01 Superclone on Black Rubber

Silver dials on dive watches remain relatively uncommon, which gives this Heritage variant a distinct position. The neutral tone matches virtually any strap color you might swap in, from navy rubber to olive canvas. On black rubber, it appeals to anyone who wants the Heritage silhouette with a lighter dial than the black and blue palettes that dominate most dive-watch shelves.
