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

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean Heritage A1732136.BA61.131S is 22 mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case and determines compatibility with any aftermarket strap. It is recommended to verify this on your own piece using a digital calliper.

The ideal choice depends on intended use. For a versatile profile, vegetable-tanned calf leather in havana or cognac develops a distinctive patina and pairs well with the black dial. For formal occasions, an alligator strap in bordeaux or midnight blue introduces a refined material contrast. For sporting or marine use, vulcanised rubber or ballistic nylon NATO straps are the most practical options.

To replace the strap, you will need a fine-tipped spring bar tool. Insert the tip into the lateral slot of the lug, compress the spring bar inward and slide the strap out of its seat. The operation can be performed without specialist tools, though it is advisable to seek assistance from a watchmaker or experienced strap maker to avoid scratching the steel lugs.

Yes. Any strap with a 22 mm attachment is compatible with this model. On milanostraps.it, a range of handcrafted leather, alligator, rubber and NATO straps is available, specifically made for 22 mm lugs with finishes suited to the sporting-elegant aesthetic of the Superocean Heritage.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning, daily use and care. A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap, with regular but non-aquatic use, typically lasts between 18 and 36 months. MilanoStraps straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects. To extend their life, avoid prolonged contact with water and periodically apply a neutral leather conditioner.
