Strap for Superocean 44 Special Blacksteel / Diamondworks / Black / Rubber

The Breitling Superocean M17393AN.BE92.227S features a lug width of 22mm. This measurement should be taken at the base of the lugs using a digital calliper, where the inner distance between the lug walls is consistent, to ensure an accurate fit before purchasing a replacement strap.

The ideal choice depends on context. For marine or sporting use, a technical NATO strap or a vulcanised rubber strap offers water resistance and comfort. For urban or formal wear, a 22mm alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather strap complements the brushed steel finishing with refined artisanal texture.

The strap is removed using a spring bar tool with a fine tip. Insert the tip into the small notch on the inner side of the lug, compress the spring bar, and slide the strap free. The process takes approximately two minutes and requires no specialist tools, though working on a soft surface is advisable to protect the case.

Yes. Any 22mm strap with standard spring bars is compatible with the Breitling Superocean M17393AN.BE92.227S. Milano Straps offers a curated range of handcrafted Italian straps in 22mm width, with bespoke options for leather type, colour, and buckle style.

Longevity depends on exposure to water and frequency of wear. A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap used in everyday, non-marine conditions will typically last 2–4 years whilst retaining structural and aesthetic integrity. Repeated exposure to salt water accelerates deterioration; for diving use, a NATO or vulcanised rubber strap is strongly recommended.
