Strap for Superocean II 42 Stainless Steel / Volcano Black / Rubber / Pin

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean A17365C9/BD67/148S/A18S.1 is 20mm. This measurement is taken with a calliper across the internal distance between the two lugs at the strap attachment point. It is a widely adopted standard, ensuring broad compatibility with aftermarket straps.

The ideal choice depends on the primary use. For aquatic or sporting contexts, a vulcanised rubber strap is the most practical: waterproof, durable and easy to clean. For urban daily wear, a vegetable-tanned calf or Hornback alligator strap provides a superior artisanal finish, with a texture that complements the satin steel case of the Superocean. A ballistic nylon NATO strap is the most versatile and quick-change option.

The Breitling Superocean uses standard 20mm spring bars to secure the strap. Replacement requires a spring bar tool: compress the spring bar within the lug and slide the strap free. The process takes approximately two minutes and requires no specialist equipment, although it is advisable to consult a watchmaker to avoid scratching the case.

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm attachment width is compatible with the Breitling Superocean 42mm. milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan, NATO and rubber, all produced with precisely calibrated 20mm ends for a secure, play-free fit on the Superocean lugs.

The longevity of a leather strap depends on tanning quality, use frequency and maintenance. A quality vegetable-tanned alligator or calf strap used daily in non-aquatic conditions typically lasts between two and four years before replacement becomes necessary. Regular exposure to salt water or perspiration will significantly reduce lifespan; in such cases rubber or NATO straps are strongly recommended. Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
