Strap for Superocean 44

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean A1739102BA76134A is 20mm. It is measured internally between the two lugs using a millimetre calliper placed flush against the case. This standard measurement ensures broad availability of compatible aftermarket straps.

For the Superocean A1739102BA76134A, a black or navy alligator strap enhances the sportive-elegant aesthetic, whilst vegetable-tanned calf leather develops a patina that complements the brushed steel. For active use, vulcanised rubber or ballistic nylon NATO straps are the most practical options. A brushed steel deployant clasp pairs well with any quality leather choice.

To replace the strap on the Superocean A1739102BA76134A, use a dedicated springbar tool with a bifurcated tip to release the spring bars from the lugs. Take care not to scratch the stainless steel case: it is advisable to protect the lugs with soft adhesive tape before proceeding. The replacement strap must have a 20mm lug width with straight ends.

Yes, as the 20mm lug width is a widely adopted standard in horology, numerous quality aftermarket straps are compatible with the Superocean A1739102BA76134A. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted leather, rubber and textile straps specifically cut to fit the lugs of this model, complete with straight ends and spring bars included.

The longevity of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, daily care and exposure to perspiration and moisture. A first-grade alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather strap, regularly conditioned with a nourishing cream and kept away from water, can last between three and five years whilst developing a fine patina. For intensive or water-related use, a rubber or NATO strap is recommended.
