Strap for Superocean 42

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean A1736402BA32225XA18BA1 is 20mm. This measurement is taken internally between the two lugs at the point where the strap sits. A digital calliper or a millimetre ruler provides the most accurate reading. Any standard 20mm strap is fully compatible with this reference.

The ideal strap for the Breitling Superocean A1736402BA32225XA18BA1 depends on the intended use. For formal or business-casual settings, a vegetable-tanned alligator or box-calf leather strap in 20mm is the most refined choice. For sport or marine use, a ballistic nylon NATO or a vulcanised rubber strap offers the necessary resistance and comfort. A steel deployante clasp matched to the case finish completes the pairing both technically and aesthetically.

To change the strap on the Breitling Superocean A1736402BA32225XA18BA1, use a fine-tipped or fork-style spring bar tool. Insert the tool into the hole or slot on the lug, compress the spring bar, and slide it free. Work on a soft mat to prevent scratches to the case. It is advisable to carry out this operation at a watchmaker or a specialist atelier to preserve the case integrity.
