EP54: How the Superocean Made Waves in 1957 feat. Breitling Global Head of Heritage Gianfranco Gentile

Fresh off the heels of Breitling's summer blockbuster release of the Superocean Heritage, the boys had a chance to sit down with Breitling's Global Head of Heritage Gianfranco Gentile to talk about the origins of this unique dive watch, and how it made such a lasting impact since its launch in 1957 – an impact that still persists, now with the launch of the newest Heritage line nearly 70 years later. And be sure to stick around for a Universal Geneve & Gallet teaser, as these are also both brands that Gianfranco is directly involved with!
