Strap for Superocean 44 Special Stainless Steel / Volcano Black / Rubber

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean Y1739310.BF45.152S is 22 mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs at the strap attachment point and should be verified with a millimetre calliper before purchasing any aftermarket strap.

The most suitable choice depends on the intended use. For diving or sporting activities, a technical nylon NATO strap or a vulcanised rubber strap offers the most practical solution. For urban or formal settings, an alligator strap with vegetable tanning or a box calf leather strap complements the stainless steel case and blue dial whilst maintaining the aesthetic coherence expected of a high-end diver.

To replace the strap, use a spring bar tool to compress the spring bars housed within the 22 mm lugs. Lever the tool tip against the spring bar to release it, remove the original strap, then insert the new strap by reversing the process. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to prevent scratching the case.

Yes. Any strap with a 22 mm lug width and standard spring bars is compatible with the Breitling Superocean Y1739310.BF45.152S. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps in various materials — alligator, calf leather, NATO, and rubber — all made in the 22 mm size and fully compatible with this reference.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, the tanning process, and the conditions of use. A high-quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, used exclusively in non-aquatic environments and maintained with appropriate leather care products, can last between three and six years whilst developing a distinguished patina. Box calf leather typically lasts one to three years. Leather straps are not recommended for water use; a NATO or rubber strap is preferable for diving.
