Strap for Superocean II 44 Stainless Steel / Black / Japan Special Edition

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean A17392D7/BG84/161A is 22mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs at the point where the strap attaches to the case. It is the standard specification for this 44mm model and should be confirmed with a calliper before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

The optimal choice depends on context. For aquatic environments, a 22mm vulcanised rubber strap is the most technically coherent option. For daily wear, a vegetable-tanned calf leather strap develops a personal patina over time. For formal occasions, a polished alligator strap enhances the professional character of the Superocean without compromising it. Premium NATO straps offer versatility and quick-change convenience.

The strap is removed using a spring bar tool. Insert the pointed tip into the lateral slot of the lug to compress the inner spring of the spring bar and release the strap. The procedure takes approximately two minutes and requires no specialist watchmaking assistance. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to prevent scratching the case.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm attachment width is compatible with the Breitling Superocean A17392D7/BG84/161A, provided the spring bars are the correct length for the 44mm case lugs. Milano Straps offers a wide selection of handcrafted 22mm straps in leather, rubber, nylon and technical materials, designed to fit this model without any modification to the case.

A quality leather strap, vegetable-tanned and hand-stitched, can last between 2 and 5 years under normal conditions of wear. Longevity depends on exposure to perspiration, water and UV radiation. On a diving watch such as the Superocean, it is advisable not to wear a leather strap during water activities, reserving it for dry daily use in order to maximise its service life.
