The original Superocean was distinguished by its robustness and ability to withstand depths of 200 meters, an impressive performance for its time.

Since its creation, the Superocean Heritage has undergone numerous evolutions to incorporate technological advances and contemporary design trends. The modern models retain the vintage charm of the first models while offering enhanced performance.
