The AB2010 marks a genuine generational shift in the Superocean line. Since 2017 it has replaced the Heritage I (A17320) — and the most striking change is right there on the bezel: ceramic instead of steel, in black or blue, each with 60-minute graduation. The Caliber B20 inside is a Tudor development, which raised quite a few eyebrows at the time. At 42 mm, the case hits the sweet spot between vintage character and a wearable sports-watch format.
## Caliber B20 and What Collectors Find Interesting About It
The B20 is a licensed Tudor MT5612 base — 70-hour power reserve, silicon hairspring, COSC-certified. For a sports line priced between $2,334 and $3,267 new, that was a serious argument against Rolex-derived movements in the same price bracket back in 2017. Those who want options have three dial executions to choose from: Black Sunray, Blue Sunray, and Green Sunray, all featuring the sunburst finish that defines the Heritage series.
## Discontinued from 2025 — and What That Means for the Pre-Owned Market
Breitling announced the next Heritage generation in 2025, putting the AB2010 on a scheduled exit from the active lineup. New stock is thinning out, and the pre-owned market is stepping in. Anyone hunting a well-kept AB2010 today will find it somewhere between $2,100 and $2,801 — depending on bezel color, condition, and papers. The ceramic variant with the blue bezel is currently the strongest performer on the secondary market.
Brand profile: Breitling
Breitling is known for aviation and dive watches. Chronographs (Navitimer, Chronomat) are the most frequently counterfeited. Pay close attention to slide rule details and COSC certification.
- Wing logo: a genuine Breitling logo shows the anchor and wing tips that NEVER touch — precise negative space between them — fakes let the tips meet or overlap
- 3D 'B' crown: the 'B' on the crown must appear three-dimensional with a light reflection on the curve — a flat 'B' = fake
- Bezel scale vs. dial: the outer white bezel scale must align precisely with the inner black dial indices — fakes show misalignment
- Date disc depth: a genuine Navitimer date disc sits flush with the dial plane — fakes show the date window as a 'crater' (noticeably sunken or raised)
Serial number format: Breitling serial numbers: alphanumeric, located between the lugs at 6 o'clock. Format: one letter + 8 digits (e.g. 'AB012012'). Older models: digits only.

Entry into Breitling
At $4,778 this reference is one of the more affordable ways to wear a Breitling on your wrist. That is precisely why many pieces have already passed through several hands — condition varies accordingly. Buyers here should pay particular attention to service history and honest photos from the seller.
Watch out for swings: This reference has an above-average volatility of 49.3 percent. In concrete terms: the price can move by several hundred euros within a few weeks. Check the current value before buying or selling — old listings or auction results from two months ago are of little help.
What to look out for when buying?
- Authenticity: The serial number and reference on the case must match the papers. A professional authenticity check of the Breitling Superocean reliably rules out counterfeits.
- Condition: Check scratches on the case and bezel — professional refurbishment can leave traces.
- Service history: A documented service by the manufacturer or a certified watchmaker increases the value.
- Scope of delivery: Box, papers and warranty card make a noticeable price difference on the Superocean.
- Independent certification: The CPS-52 standard covers 52 checkpoints — from the serial number and the timing machine to water resistance. The result is secured on the blockchain and can be verified at any time.
