Strap for Superocean Heritage B31 Automatic 44 Stainless Steel - Red Gold / Blue / Milanese

The Breitling Superocean Heritage UB3112161C1A1 features a lug width of 22mm, measured as the internal gap between the two lugs at the strap attachment point. It is essential to verify this measurement with a precision calliper before purchasing a replacement strap.

Given the combination of black ceramic, red gold and stainless steel, a belly alligator strap with a glossy finish or a shell cordovan in burgundy tones best enhances the precious character of the case. For more active use, vulcanised rubber or technical nylon NATO straps provide durability and comfort without compromising the diving identity of the watch.

Strap replacement requires a fine-tipped springbar tool: insert the tip into the lateral slot of the springbar, compress the spring and release the strap from the lug. The operation is fully reversible without invasive tools. It is advisable to rest the case on a soft cloth to avoid scratching the ceramic and red gold components.

Yes. Any strap with a standard 22mm attachment is compatible, provided the end shape is straight (not curved) and the profile suits the case's carrure. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted 22mm straps — in leather, rubber and fabric — made in the atelier and compatible with this Breitling reference.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, the tanning method and daily use. A handcrafted alligator or cordovan strap with vegetable tanning and hand-finished edges can last between three and seven years with regular care (neutral cream conditioning, drying away from heat sources). Prolonged exposure to saltwater and perspiration accelerates deterioration: in marine environments, it is advisable to alternate with a rubber or NATO strap.
