Strap for Superocean Heritage 42 Stainless Steel / Red Gold / Volcano Black / Rubber

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean Heritage U1732112.BA61.200S is 22mm. This measurement is taken with a digital calliper positioned between the inner faces of the lugs and is the essential specification for selecting any compatible aftermarket strap.

The Red Gold and stainless steel combination of the Superocean Heritage pairs particularly well with smooth-belly alligator straps in cognac, bordeaux or anthracite, or with vegetable-tanned Tuscan calf leather that develops a distinctive patina over time. For marine or sporting use, vulcanised rubber is the most functionally coherent choice given the model's dive heritage.

Strap replacement requires a fine-tipped spring bar tool. Insert the tool into the slot between the lug and the strap, compress the spring bar and slide it free. Take care not to scratch the Red Gold lugs — it is advisable to protect the case with masking tape before proceeding.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is technically compatible. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted 22mm straps in various materials — leather, alligator, rubber and NATO — finished to a standard befitting the aesthetic level of this reference.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality, care and frequency of use. A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap, kept away from prolonged water exposure and conditioned regularly, typically lasts 2–4 years. Alligator, owing to the naturally robust structure of its scales, can exceed 5 years while retaining structural integrity. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
