Strap for SuperOcean Automatic 44 Stainless Steel / Green / Rubber

The Breitling Superocean A17376A31L1S1 has a lug width of 22mm. This measurement is taken with a digital calliper positioned between the two lugs at the narrowest internal point. Any strap with a 22mm attachment is fully compatible with this reference.

The answer depends on intended use. For aquatic or sporting contexts, a vulcanised rubber or nylon NATO strap is the functionally appropriate choice. For everyday urban wear, a vegetable-tanned calf strap develops a genuine patina over time. For formal occasions, a flat-belly alligator strap creates a refined material contrast against the ceramic bezel.

Remove the strap using a fine-tipped springbar tool inserted into the lug slot to compress the spring bar ends. Standard 1.5mm diameter spring bars are compatible with 22mm lugs. The operation requires no specialist tools and can be carried out independently, though care should be taken to avoid scratching the case or the ceramic bezel.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm attachment is technically compatible with the Breitling Superocean A17376A31L1S1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted 22mm straps in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan, NATO and rubber, crafted from selected materials and available in various lengths to suit any wrist circumference.

The longevity of a leather strap depends primarily on water exposure. On a diving watch such as the Superocean, immersion use accelerates leather deterioration: perspiration, saltwater and chlorine compromise the fibres over the medium term. With predominantly dry use and periodic conditioning with leather cream, a vegetable-tanned calf strap typically lasts 2 to 4 years. For aquatic use, rubber or NATO is strongly recommended, reserving leather for dry contexts.
