Strap for Superocean Heritage II 46 Chronograph Stainless Steel / Black / Blue / Croco / Folding

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean Heritage A1331212/C968/757P/A20D.1 is 24 mm. This dimension is measured as the distance between the inner axes of the case lugs. Always verify compatibility with a digital calliper before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

For this chronograph, we recommend genuine alligator for lightweight breathability, vegetable-tanned calf for authentic patina development, or rubber for salt-water environments. Your choice depends on primary usage: marine conditions suit rubber or NATO weaves, whilst formal contexts benefit from alligator or structured calf leather.

Place the watch face-down on a soft mat. Use a spring-bar removal tool (steel or nylon pusher) to gently press the bar outward. Extract the lug completely, then slide the new strap onto the bar. Reinsert until you feel the spring-bar snap into place securely.

Yes, any strap with a 24 mm lug width is geometrically compatible. However, to maintain water resistance to 200 metres, ensure the strap is constructed from robust materials (thick leather, quality rubber, suitable steel). Avoid thin or yielding straps, as the 46 mm case weight demands reliable structural support.

A quality leather strap typically lasts 3–5 years on a heavy tool watch like the 46 mm Superocean Heritage. Exposure to salt water, perspiration, and thermal fluctuations accelerates ageing. Vegetable-tanned calf develops beautiful patina over time, whilst alligator leather maintains superior elasticity due to its scale structure.
