Strap for Superocean II 36 White Pro III

The Breitling Superocean A17312D2/A775/230S/A16S.1 features a 20mm lug width. This measurement is taken with a digital calliper positioned between the two lugs at the spring bar seat. It is one of the most common sizes in sports watchmaking, ensuring a wide availability of compatible aftermarket straps.

The ideal strap depends on intended use. For daily urban wear, vegetable-tanned calfskin offers the best balance between refinement and durability. To emphasise the sporting character, a matte bombé-grain alligator strap creates a striking aesthetic contrast. For humid conditions or water proximity, vulcanised rubber or technical nylon NATO straps — optionally with a deployant clasp — are the recommended choice.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool or a dedicated lug lever. Compress the spring bar on the inner side of the lug, remove the strap, and insert the new one ensuring the spring bar clicks firmly into both lug holes. The operation does not require professional tools, though entrusting it to a watchmaker is advisable to avoid scratching the stainless steel lugs.

Yes. The 20mm lug width of the Superocean 36 is compatible with the full range of standard straight-end aftermarket straps. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps in leather, alligator, shell cordovan and technical materials, available bespoke or ready to order online, all fully compatible with this Breitling reference.

Longevity depends on the material and frequency of wear. A quality vegetable-tanned calfskin strap typically lasts 2–4 years with daily use, developing a distinctive patina over time. Well-tanned alligator often exceeds 5 years. Regular exposure to salt water or perspiration accelerates deterioration: for marine environments, rubber or NATO straps are recommended. The Casati Milano guarantee covers 18 months for manufacturing defects.
