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

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean A17392D71B1A1 is 22mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the lugs at the strap attachment point and is essential for selecting a compatible strap. For an accurate reading, it is advisable to measure directly on the case using a digital calliper.

The ideal choice depends on the intended use. For formal or sartorial contexts, a 22mm alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather strap enhances the stainless steel case without undermining its technical character. For sporting or diving use, a vulcanised rubber strap or ballistic nylon NATO offers water resistance and practicality while honouring the model's dive watch heritage.

To replace the strap, you will need a spring bar tool to remove the spring bars securing the strap to the lugs. Insert the tool into the lateral notch of the lug, compress the spring bar and slide the strap outwards. Repeat on the other side. Install the new 22mm strap in reverse order. If in doubt, it is recommended to consult a qualified watchmaker.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm attachment width is technically compatible with the Breitling Superocean A17392D71B1A1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted 22mm straps in leather, alligator, shell cordovan and rubber, tapered to 20mm at the buckle. Always verify the total strap length against your wrist circumference before ordering.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, frequency of use and exposure to water and perspiration. A high-quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, worn daily and kept away from water, can last between two and five years whilst retaining a presentable appearance. For a dive watch such as the Superocean, it is advisable to alternate the leather strap with a rubber one during water activities, considerably extending its useful life.
