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

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean Heritage A1331212/C968/760P/A20BA.1 is 24mm. This width is specific to Breitling chronographs of 46mm in the Heritage line and must be measured precisely between the horizontal attachment pins, not across the total width of the lugs.

For the Superocean Heritage, we recommend alligator leather vegetable-tanned in Havana brown or soft cognac tones: these choices enhance the pilot-diver aesthetic of the chronograph. Alternatively, dark blue ballistic canvas or NATO cordura recreate the historical link to military uniforms. Shell cordovan is not recommended due to aesthetic contrast with the industrial character of the model.

The procedure requires a small tool (spring bar tool) to push the elastic pins laterally that hold the strap. Gently push the pin on one side, slide out the old strap, position the new one, and reinsert the pin until it clicks. Avoid excessive twisting to prevent deformation of the case lug.

Yes, any 24mm strap is mechanically compatible. Ensure that the deployant (if present) is sized for the Breitling case lug and that the total circumference fits your wrist. Artisanal straps offer greater customization compared to original Breitling models.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) lasts 3-5 years with regular maintenance and moderate use. Durability decreases if frequently exposed to moisture and perspiration. For underwater use or high humidity, prefer ballistic canvas or butyl rubber, which have longevity exceeding 5 years.
