Strap for Superocean 44

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean C1739112.BA77.131S is 20mm. This measurement is taken internally between the case lugs and is the key parameter for selecting a compatible aftermarket strap. It is advisable to confirm the measurement with a digital calliper before purchase.

For this two-tone stainless steel and rose gold model, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap in cognac or mid-tobacco enhances the warm bichromatic tone of the case. For sporting or aquatic use, a vulcanised FKM rubber strap is the most appropriate technical solution, owing to its resistance to salt water and dimensional stability under pressure.

Strap removal requires a spring bar tool inserted laterally between the strap and the lug to compress the spring bars. Work on a soft surface to avoid case scratches. Alternatively, the operation can be performed by a watchmaker or at the Casati Milano atelier by appointment.

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm lug width is technically compatible with the Breitling Superocean C1739112.BA77.131S. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, rubber and nylon straps specifically suited to this width, available online or made to measure through the Casati Milano atelier.

Longevity depends on leather type, usage and maintenance. A quality alligator or shell cordovan strap under daily non-aquatic use retains its structural integrity and aesthetics for 3 to 5 years. Frequent exposure to salt water or perspiration will significantly reduce lifespan; in such cases an FKM rubber strap is strongly recommended for superior performance in aquatic environments.
