Strap for Superocean Heritage II B20 Automatic 42 Stainless Steel / Ice Blue / Japan

The Breitling Superocean Heritage AB20108A1C1A1 has a lug width of 22 mm. This measurement is taken with a digital calliper positioned between the inner surfaces of the two lugs, at the point where the strap attaches to the case. Any strap with a 22 mm attachment width is compatible with this reference.

For the Superocean Heritage AB20108A1C1A1, a vegetable-tanned calf leather strap in dark brown or tobacco enhances the model's vintage character. For more formal occasions, an alligator strap with a polished belly finish offers the finest result. For sporting or aquatic use, vulcanised rubber or a heavy-weave NATO nylon strap are the most practical options.

To replace the strap on the Superocean Heritage AB20108A1C1A1, a fine-tipped spring bar tool is required. Insert the tool into the spring bar slot, compress the bar and slide the strap free from the lug. No specialist watchmaking skills are needed, but it is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the ceramic bezel and case.

Yes, any strap with a 22 mm attachment width is technically compatible with the Breitling Superocean Heritage AB20108A1C1A1. Milano Straps offers handcrafted straps in leather, alligator, rubber and NATO nylon in 22 mm, all fitted with buckles and spring bars suited to the weight and proportions of the original case.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, frequency of use and exposure to perspiration and moisture. A high-quality vegetable-tanned calf leather strap, with moderate daily use, typically lasts between 18 and 36 months. Water exposure significantly shortens its life: for a dive watch such as the Superocean Heritage, it is advisable to alternate between a leather strap and a rubber option for aquatic use.
