Strap for Superocean Heritage II Chronograph 44 Stainless Steel / Blue / Milanese

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean Heritage A13313161C1A1 is 22mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the case lugs at the strap attachment point and should be verified with a digital calliper to ensure a correct fit.

For the 44mm Superocean Heritage, the most suitable straps are hornback alligator for formal occasions, vegetable-tanned calf leather for everyday wear that develops a natural patina over time, or vulcanised rubber for sporting and marine environments. The 22mm lug width offers a wide selection within the quality artisan segment.

The strap is replaced using a fine-tipped spring bar tool inserted into the lug hole. Compress the spring bar, slide out the old strap and fit the new one, ensuring both spring bars click securely into their seats. It is advisable to have the operation carried out by a watchmaker to avoid scratching the case.

Yes, the 22mm lug width is compatible with a wide range of high-quality aftermarket straps. Milano Straps offers handcrafted straps available bespoke or online, in leather, alligator, NATO and rubber, designed to fit the lugs of the Superocean Heritage A13313161C1A1 precisely.

The longevity of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide and the frequency of water exposure. On a diving watch such as the Superocean Heritage, wearing a leather strap during immersion is not recommended. With normal use and proper care, a high-quality vegetable-tanned leather strap will last between two and five years while retaining a distinguished patina.
