Strap for SuperOcean Automatic 42 Stainless Steel / Blue / Rubber

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean A17375E71C1S1 is 22mm. This measurement is taken with a calliper between the two lugs of the case, at the point where the strap or bracelet is fitted. Always specify 22mm when ordering any aftermarket strap for this reference.

For the Superocean A17375E71C1S1, with its ceramic and steel 42mm case, the most successful choices are a glossy alligator strap in black or navy blue for formal wear, a vegetable-tanned calfskin strap for a sporting-casual look that develops patina over time, and a NATO or vulcanised rubber strap for maximum aquatic functionality. All options must feature a 22mm lug width.

To replace the strap on the Superocean A17375E71C1S1, you will need a double-ended spring bar tool. Insert the tool into the lateral groove of the spring bar, compress it and slide the strap free. No advanced watchmaking skills are required, but it is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the ceramic bezel.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is technically compatible with the Breitling Superocean A17375E71C1S1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, NATO and rubber straps in this size, made from selected materials and available in bespoke configurations through the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the type of leather, care and frequency of use. A quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calfskin strap, worn daily and treated periodically with leather conditioner, will last between two and five years. Prolonged contact with water and perspiration should be avoided: the Superocean is water-resistant, but leather is not.
