Strap for SuperOcean Automatic 36 Stainless Steel / Turquoise / Bracelet

The Breitling Superocean Automatic 36 A17377211C1A1 has a lug width of 20mm. This measurement should be taken with a digital calliper between the two lugs, perpendicular to the strap axis. Any standard 20mm strap is compatible with this reference.

For marine or sporting use, a vulcanised rubber strap in 20mm is the most practical choice — waterproof and resistant to deformation. For daily wear and smart-casual settings, a vegetable-tanned calf leather or matte alligator strap complements the ceramic bezel. A steel deployant clasp extends the life of leather straps by reducing stress on the buckle.

The Superocean 36 lugs accept standard 20mm spring bars. A fine-tipped springbar tool is sufficient to compress the bar and remove the existing strap. No specialist tools or watchmaker visits are required, though care should be taken to avoid scratching the stainless steel case during the operation.

Yes. Any aftermarket strap with standard 20mm spring bars is compatible. Milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps in alligator, calf leather, rubber and NATO, specifically proportioned for 36mm cases with tapered 20/18mm profiles that respect the short lug geometry of the Superocean 36.

Leather straps are not recommended for diving or prolonged exposure to salt water. Under regular marine use, average lifespan is 6 to 12 months. Rubber or nylon NATO straps are advised for wet environments. If leather is preferred for land use, a quality vegetable-tanned strap treated with natural waxes can last 2 to 4 years with periodic maintenance.
