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

The Breitling Superocean A17365C9.BD67.202S has a lug width of 20mm. This is the correct measurement to use when selecting any replacement strap, whether an original Breitling part or a quality aftermarket option.

The ideal choice depends on the intended use. For marine and sporting contexts, vulcanised rubber offers unmatched resistance and comfort. For a more formal register, a vegetable-tanned alligator or fine-grain calf strap complements the brushed steel of the 42mm case beautifully. A ballistic nylon NATO strap remains the most versatile option for everyday wear.

You will need a fine-tipped spring bar tool (lever or fork type). Insert the tool into the lug hole, compress the spring bar and slide it inward. Repeat on the opposite lug. Take care to protect the case lugs with mylar tape during the operation to avoid scratches on the steel surface.

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm attachment is technically compatible. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted 20mm straps designed specifically for the Breitling Superocean, featuring reinforced stitching, calf leather linings and 1.8mm stainless steel spring bars included in the packaging.

Longevity depends on leather quality and usage patterns. A top-grade alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap, worn in dry conditions and rotated regularly with other straps, will typically last between three and five years. Prolonged exposure to salt water and perspiration significantly shortens service life; for continuous marine use, rubber or NATO textile straps are the more appropriate choice.
