Strap for Superocean II 44 Stainless Steel / Black / Volcano Black / Rubber

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean A17392D7.BD68.229X is 22mm. This measurement corresponds to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case and determines the correct strap size. It is advisable to verify this with a digital calliper before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

The choice depends on intended use. For daily wear with a sporting character, a 22mm grained calf leather or nylon NATO strap is both functional and durable. For a more formal register, an alligator strap with a deployant clasp complements the steel case beautifully. For those frequently exposed to water, vulcanised rubber offers superior moisture resistance.

To replace the strap, a fine-tipped spring bar tool is required. Insert the tool into the gap between the lug and the strap to compress the spring bar. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the lugs — masking tape around the case is recommended. The new 22mm strap is then fitted by reversing the same procedure.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm attachment is technically compatible with this model. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, alligator, calf and technical material straps specifically sized for 22mm lug width, with standard lengths (120/75mm) suited to the 44mm case.

Longevity depends on leather quality, frequency of use and exposure to moisture. A vegetable-tanned calf leather strap under regular daily use typically lasts 2–4 years before showing wear at the stitching or buckle. Properly maintained alligator leather can exceed 5 years. For a diver regularly exposed to water, rotating between straps or using technical materials is advisable.
