The Superocean Heritage '57 A10340A71A1X1, seen from the bench

The Breitling Superocean Heritage '57 Pastel Paradise White (A10340A71A1X1) is a 38mm stainless steel dive watch reconstructed according to the original 1957 specifications. It features the Breitling Caliber 10, an automatic movement certified COSC chronometer with maximum deviation of +6/-4 seconds per day, displaying hours, minutes, central seconds and date at 3 o'clock. The unidirectional bezel, screw-down caseback and triangle-index 12 o'clock lug are faithful to the original design. The watch has an 18mm lug width, requiring careful strap selection.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Breitling Superocean Heritage '57 A10340A71A1X1?

The Breitling Superocean Heritage '57 A10340A71A1X1 has a lug width of 18mm. This measurement should be verified using a digital calliper to measure the internal distance between the two lugs, ensuring precise compatibility with any aftermarket strap.

What is the best strap for the Breitling Superocean Heritage '57?

The most suitable straps for the Superocean Heritage '57 are: vegetable-tanned leather (calfskin or alligator) for an elegant vintage profile, vulcanised rubber for sporting and aquatic use, and nylon NATO for fidelity to the 1950s aesthetic. The correct attachment width is 18mm.

How do I change the strap on the Breitling Superocean Heritage '57?

Remove the strap using a flat-tipped spring bar tool or a thin screwdriver to release the 18mm spring bars securing the strap to the lugs. Work on a soft surface to protect the case, and use a tool with a coated tip to avoid scratching the brushed steel.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Superocean Heritage '57 A10340A71A1X1?

Yes, any strap with an 18mm attachment is technically compatible with the Superocean Heritage '57 A10340A71A1X1. MilanoStraps offers a curated selection of handcrafted 18mm straps in leather, rubber, and NATO, available online or bespoke through Casati Milano.

How long does a leather strap last on a dive watch like the Superocean Heritage '57?

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on tanning quality and usage conditions. On a dive watch such as the Superocean Heritage '57, regular exposure to water and perspiration accelerates wear. A quality vegetable-tanned strap, properly conditioned and kept away from immersion, can last two to four years with daily use. For frequent aquatic use, vulcanised rubber is the recommended alternative.
