Strap for Superocean II 36 Black / Calf

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean A17312C9.BD91.415X is 18mm. This measurement should be taken directly between the two lugs of the case using a calliper to confirm compatibility with any aftermarket strap.

For the 36mm Superocean A17312C9.BD91.415X, a vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather strap in cognac or tan offers the best balance between elegance and everyday versatility. For more active or marine use, a vulcanised rubber strap is technically coherent with the model's heritage. Alligator leather is the preferred choice for formal settings.

To replace the strap on the Superocean A17312C9.BD91.415X, you will need an 18mm spring bar and a proper springbar tool. Insert the tool into the lug hole, compress the spring bar and slide the strap free. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the stainless steel case. If in doubt, entrust the operation to a qualified watchmaker.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, frequency of wear and exposure to perspiration and water. A high-quality vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather strap, with regular care, typically lasts between 2 and 4 years. Avoiding prolonged immersion in water and allowing the strap to air-dry after intensive use will considerably extend its life.
