The Superocean A173762A1B1S1, seen from the bench

The Breitling Superocean A173762A1B1S1 continues a technical lineage dating to 1957, featuring a 44mm case in ceramic and AISI 316L stainless steel with unidirectional ceramic bezel and luminescent dial indices. Powered by Breitling Caliber 17 ND automatic movement, the case integrates ceramic and steel construction to reduce magnetic signature and enhance scratch resistance. The 22mm lug width suits the generous case diameter and professional diving purpose, ensuring broad compatibility with aftermarket straps.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Breitling Superocean A173762A1B1S1?

The Breitling Superocean A173762A1B1S1 features a lug width of 22 mm. This measurement, taken with a digital calliper positioned between the two lugs at the spring bar, is compatible with the wide range of aftermarket straps available in this standard size.

What is the best strap for the Breitling Superocean A173762A1B1S1?

The choice depends on intended use. For formal or daily wear, vegetable-tanned calfskin or alligator with a deployant clasp offer elegance and longevity. For sporting or aquatic contexts, vulcanised rubber or ballistic nylon NATO straps provide optimal technical performance while remaining consistent with the diving character of the watch.

How do you change the strap on a Breitling Superocean A173762A1B1S1?

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool. Insert the tool into the gap between the lug and the original strap, compress the spring bar, and slide the strap free. The operation does not require opening the case and can be performed independently, provided care is taken not to scratch the ceramic or steel surfaces of the case.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Superocean A173762A1B1S1?

Yes. Any strap with a 22 mm lug width is dimensionally compatible with the Breitling Superocean A173762A1B1S1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps in leather, alligator, rubber and NATO specifically available in this size, with options in both straight and tapered widths.

How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Superocean?

The lifespan of a quality leather strap on a diving watch such as the Superocean depends on exposure to perspiration, water and UV light. With standard care — drying after intensive use and periodic application of a dedicated leather conditioner — a well-crafted vegetable-tanned strap typically lasts between 2 and 5 years. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty covering manufacturing defects.
