Strap for Superocean Heritage II 46 Stainless Steel / Bronze / Bronze / Croco / Folding

The lug width of this model is 24mm, measured between the spring bar pins that hold the strap. A strap smaller than 24mm will not fit into the lugs, whilst a larger one will create unwanted play and visual instability.

For a diver of this calibre, the most versatile choice is Tuscan leather with vegetable tanning in honey or cognac hues, which dialogues elegantly with the brushed steel case. If the watch is used primarily for diving, vulcanised FKM rubber remains the most authentic and functional option.

Place the watch face-down on a soft cushion. Using a spring bar tool, gently compress the spring bar sideways and extract the pin from the lug holes. Insert the new strap and ensure the pin is properly aligned and secure on both sides.

Yes, provided the strap has a lug width of exactly 24mm. Bespoke straps from Milano Straps are crafted to this specific measurement and guarantee full compatibility without any case modification.

Durability varies by material: a quality alligator strap may last 8-10 years with regular maintenance; vegetable-tanned calf typically lasts 5-7 years before showing visible ageing. Vulcanised rubber, whilst subject to hardening over time, can last 10-15 years when not exposed excessively to direct UV light.
