Breitling announces the launch of the Superocean Heritage '57 Outerknown, the third watch in collaboration with Outerknown, the sustainable apparel brand co-founded by surfing legend Kelly Slater.
Following the Superocean Heritage Outerknown in 2018 and the Superocean Outerknown in 2019, this is the third collaboration between the two brands.
Breitling CEO Georges Kern says, "We're thrilled to be able to build on our strong partnership with Kelly and everyone at Outerknown. The projects we work on with them go beyond watchmaking. They underscore Breitling's commitment to sustainability. Of course, we also love the link to the cool surfing lifestyle, and working with the greatest surfer of all time makes that even more special!"
Kelly Slater: "Georges and his team at Breitling have shown that they have the same passion for clean oceans and beaches that we do. And creating watches with the ECONYL® yarn straps we designed with Breitling is a nice message and our symbol towards a cleaner environment while developing products."
