Strap for Superocean Heritage 42 Stainless Steel / Green / Stratus Silver / Rubber

The Breitling Superocean Heritage A1732136.G717.131S has a lug width of 22mm. This measurement is taken between the two lugs at the point of contact with the strap, using a calliper or precision ruler. Adhering to this measurement is essential for a correct and secure strap fitting.

The optimal choice depends on the intended context. For marine or sporting use, a vulcanised rubber strap in 22mm provides both grip and comfort. For daily elegant wear, vegetable-tanned calf leather develops a natural patina over time. Alligator belly-cut leather is the premium option for formal settings. A technical nylon NATO remains the most versatile and practical solution.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool or lug lever to remove the 22mm spring bars from the case lugs. The new strap is then fitted by clicking the spring bars back into position. The operation takes only a few minutes and can be carried out independently with the correct tools, or entrusted to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm lug width is technically compatible. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps in leather, alligator, rubber and NATO in the correct width, produced from first-grade materials and fitted with steel buckles or precision deployant clasps.

The lifespan of a leather strap on a diver watch depends on exposure to moisture, perspiration and UV light. With proper care — periodic application of a nourishing leather conditioner and drying away from heat sources — a quality calf leather strap lasts between 2 and 4 years. High-grade vegetable-tanned alligator can exceed 5 years. For intensive marine use, pairing leather with a secondary rubber strap is advisable.
