Strap for Superocean Heritage II 46 Stainless Steel / Blue / Silver / Croco / Pin

The Breitling Superocean Heritage AB202016/G828/760P/A20BA.1 has a lug width of 24mm. This measurement should be taken with a digital calliper placed between the lugs at the lower part of the case, flush against the crystal. This is a non-standard width that requires straps specifically produced with a 24mm lug end.

The ideal choice depends on intended use. For sporting or marine environments, a vulcanised rubber or FKM strap offers the best functionality: waterproof and highly durable. For everyday versatility, vegetable-tanned calf leather develops an authentic patina over time. For formal occasions, alligator leather paired with a deployant clasp in brushed steel delivers the most refined result. All straps must feature a 24mm lug end for a precise fit.

The Superocean Heritage uses standard 24mm spring bars to secure the strap. Replacement requires a spring bar tool: compress the spring bars laterally, remove the existing strap, and fit the new one. No professional equipment is necessary, though it is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the case or lugs.

Yes. Any strap with a 24mm lug width is technically compatible. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, rubber and NATO straps available in 24mm, with lengths and heel thicknesses suited to the 46mm case. It is advisable to ensure the heel thickness does not exceed 5–6mm for a clean fit between the lugs.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends heavily on exposure to moisture, perspiration and direct sunlight. On a diving watch such as the Superocean Heritage, wearing a leather strap in water is inadvisable: prolonged contact with salt water accelerates fibre degradation. With dry daily use and periodic conditioning with a leather cream, a quality calf or alligator strap will typically last between two and four years before showing structural wear.
