Strap for Superocean Heritage 42 Stainless Steel / Black / Volcano Black / Rubber

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean Heritage A1732124.BA61.131S is 22mm. This measurement is taken between the two lugs using a digital calliper, with the tips placed in contact with the inner walls of the case. It is a standard size in the 42mm diver segment and allows for a wide selection of compatible aftermarket straps.

For this model, vegetable-tanned Tuscan calf leather in a vintage brown finish is the most coherent choice given the heritage character of the dial. Alternatively, hornback alligator offers an elegant contrast between dive watch aesthetics and artisan luxury. For sports or marine use, nylon NATO or vulcanised rubber provide durability and practicality. A deployant clasp in polished steel is recommended for a secure, professional fit.

To replace the strap, a spring bar tool is required to remove the spring bars from the lugs. The Superocean Heritage lugs have a slight downward curve, so care must be taken to avoid scratching the case during the operation. Alternatively, the procedure can be carried out by a watchmaker or directly at the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm lug width is technically compatible with the Breitling Superocean Heritage A1732124.BA61.131S. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted straps in 22mm across various materials: vegetable-tanned leather, alligator, shell cordovan, nylon NATO and vulcanised rubber. All models are handmade and supplied with spring bars included.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, tanning process and usage. A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, properly conditioned with specific creams and not regularly exposed to salt water or excessive perspiration, can last between 3 and 7 years, developing a distinctive patina over time. For intensive diving or sports use, nylon NATO or vulcanised rubber is recommended, as these materials are inherently waterproof and unaffected by moisture.
