Strap for SuperOcean Automatic 42 Red Gold / Grey / Oomiya

The Breitling Superocean R173751A1G1S1 has a lug width of 22 mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case where the strap is fitted. It is advisable to verify this with a calliper before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

For the Superocean R173751A1G1S1, with its two-tone black ceramic and red gold case, the most suitable straps are: glossy alligator in bordeaux or cognac for a formal look, vegetable-tanned calf leather in tobacco for versatile daily wear, vulcanised rubber for sporting and diving use, and nylon NATO for a casual, lightweight style.

The strap on the Superocean R173751A1G1S1 is secured with standard 22 mm spring bars. Using a springbar tool, compress and release the spring bars, slide out the original strap, and fit the new one. The operation is straightforward but requires care to avoid scratching the ceramic case.

Yes, any strap with a 22 mm attachment is compatible with the Breitling Superocean R173751A1G1S1. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted straps in various leathers and materials, available made-to-measure or ready to ship, all compatible with the 22 mm lug width of this model.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on leather quality, frequency of use, and exposure to perspiration and water. A high-quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, with periodic conditioning, can last between 2 and 5 years. For frequent diving use, rubber or nylon NATO straps are recommended.
