It’s time for our winter OT Club membership wristwatch giveaway and it’s a big one: the Breitling Superocean Heritage B01 Chronograph 44mm. A stylish panda chronograph that was introduced in 2018 and discontinued last year, in 2025, when the Superocean collection was revamped. This is the highest value wristwatch we’ve ever given away as part of the members club with a secondary market average price of approximately £5,000. In order to provide this opportunity to Oracle Time members, the watch has been supplied by Arena Club. To be in with a chance to win the watch, you must be a registered OT Club member by December 31st.
On the wrist it’s an unapologetically large watch, measuring 44mm in diameter with a thickness of 15.51mm. That’s not unexpected of a sporty chronograph where a large diameter allows for a wide, legible display that isn’t too crowded despite featuring hours, minutes, small seconds, date, chronograph seconds, a 30-minute timer and a 12-hour timer. The thickness also makes sense because the movement has to accommodate the self-winding rotor, main calibre body, and chronograph functions, creating a layered construction.
Fortunately, the sweeping lugs follow a relatively steep downwards curve meaning that the watch wraps around the edges of the wrist in a satisfying way. The result of which is that even on my relatively slender wrists, I think the 44mm sizing works. On the more built forearms of my gym-inclined colleagues it looks perfect. The case is finished with a high sheen polish across the caseband, lugs, chronograph pump pushers, and crown. It’s also equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel.
Aesthetically, the Breitling Superocean Heritage B01 Chronograph 44mm uses a panda colour scheme. That means the main sunray brushed dial is silver-white while the tricompax subdials are black, giving the appearance of a giant panda’s facial markings. The subdials here are recessed into the dial, adding a layered appearance to the piece that’s further emphasised by the applied baton hour markers.
Inside is Breitling’s B01 chronograph movement, featuring a 70-hour power reserve and COSC-chronometer certification. It’s visible through the exhibition caseback, which is also inscribed with the watch’s details including the 200m water resistance rating. The Superocean Heritage B01 Chronograph is a very versatile sports watch. That’s backed up by the comfortable rubber strap and folding clasp.
Don’t miss your opportunity to win this watch by becoming an OT Club member.
