Strap for Superocean 44 Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The Breitling Superocean A17367D71B1A1 has a lug width of 20mm. This measurement should be taken internally between the two lugs using a digital calliper, excluding any machining burrs. Any strap with a straight 20mm end is compatible with this reference.

The ideal choice depends on context. For formal or business settings, a 20mm alligator or shell cordovan strap in vegetable-tanned leather offers both aesthetic depth and durability. For sport or water use, a vulcanised rubber strap in black or blue is the most technically appropriate option. Vegetable-tanned calf leather is the most versatile choice for everyday wear.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool with a fine tip of approximately 1mm. Insert the tool into the notch on the spring bar located between the lugs, compress it laterally and slide the strap free. No specialist watchmaking skills are required, though it is advisable to work on a soft cloth to avoid scratching the stainless steel case.

Yes. Any 20mm strap with a straight end is technically compatible with the Breitling Superocean A17367D71B1A1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps in alligator, calf, shell cordovan and rubber, specifically sized for this reference and available online or through bespoke commission at the Casati Milano atelier by appointment.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on leather quality, frequency of use and exposure to perspiration and moisture. A high-quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap, with daily use and proper care (conditioning cream every 3–4 months, drying away from direct heat), typically lasts 2–4 years. Milano Straps provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
