The new Heritage ‘57 Highlands is a series of four watches that act as a capsule collection and sit within Breitling’s larger Superocean dive watch portfolio.
There are four dial and bezel colours to pick from, and the watches can be bought with either a stainless steel mesh bracelet or a tweed strap that will likely go well with your Highland hiking attire.

The dive-style watch has a 38mm case diameter and a bidirectional rotating bezel with 18K red gold detailing and a ceramic insert that matches the colour of the dial. Colour options include blue, green, mustard and beige. All four come with the steel mesh-style bracelet, plus a tweed strap in green and two shades of brown; a blue tweed strap option is available to purchase separately, pictured above.
Inside, the Superocean Heritage ‘57 Highlands is fitted with Breitling’s own Calibre 10 automatic movement, which has a fairly modest 42 hours of power reserve.

That said, I quite enjoy pairing my Tudor Black Bay dive watch with a mesh strap and wearing it for winter strolls, complete with a chunky jumper and Barbour jacket combo. Maybe Breitling is onto something here, and perhaps we need a fresh vocabulary for describing a dive watch that has found a new home on dry land.
