Strap for SuperOcean Automatic 42 Bronze / Green / Rubber

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean N17375201L1S1 is 22 mm. This measurement should be taken with a digital calliper placed between the two lugs, measuring the free inner space at the case — not the external width of the lugs themselves.

Given the ceramic and bronze case of the Superocean N17375201L1S1, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap in havana or cognac tones is the most coherent pairing: the natural grain echoes the developing patina of the bronze. For actual water use, a vulcanised rubber strap is the technically sound choice.

The strap on the Superocean N17375201L1S1 is replaced using a spring bar tool, carefully releasing the spring bars within the 22 mm lugs. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the ceramic case. No specialist tools are required, but care must be taken given the surface brittleness of ceramic.

Yes, any strap with a 22 mm attachment is compatible with the Breitling Superocean N17375201L1S1. milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, rubber and nylon straps specifically listed for this lug width, with bespoke options available through the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on exposure to moisture and salt water. On a diver such as the Superocean, used in aquatic environments, a quality calfskin strap typically lasts 12 to 18 months. Vegetable-tanned leather offers greater longevity than chrome-tanned alternatives, developing a patina that enhances rather than degrades its appearance over time.
