Strap for SuperOcean Chronograph Blacksteel

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean M13341B7.BD11.152S is 22mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the case lugs and determines the correct strap width. It is advisable to verify this with a digital calliper before ordering an aftermarket strap.

For the Superocean M13341B7.BD11.152S, the most suitable materials are Tuscan vegetable-tanned calf leather for everyday wear with a natural patina over time, smooth-belly alligator for formal occasions, and vulcanised rubber or cordura for use in humid or marine environments. The correct width is 22mm. A brushed steel deployant clasp is the most coherent closure choice for this model's aesthetic.

To replace the strap on the Superocean 44mm, you will need a dedicated springbar tool or a flat-tip springbar tool. Compress the springbar towards the centre using the lug notch as leverage, remove the strap, and insert the new one by reversing the procedure. It is recommended to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the case. If in doubt, entrust the operation to a qualified watchmaker.

The lifespan of a leather strap on a diver depends on use and leather quality. A high-quality Tuscan vegetable-tanned calf strap, kept away from diving and intense perspiration, can last between 3 and 5 years while maintaining good structural integrity. For intensive or marine use, rubber or nylon is recommended, reserving leather for dry environments. Milano Straps offers an 18-month guarantee covering manufacturing defects.
