For the black ceramic case of the Superocean Y17393101B1A1, the most suitable materials are matte alligator leather, shell cordovan for those seeking a characterful patina over time, and vulcanised rubber to maintain technical coherence and water resistance. A brushed steel deployant clasp is the safest and most visually balanced closure option.

Strap replacement on the Breitling Superocean Y17393101B1A1 is carried out via standard 22 mm spring bars positioned between the lugs. A dedicated spring bar tool or a thin flat-head screwdriver is sufficient to remove the bars, slide out the old strap and fit the new one.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on use and leather quality. On a dive watch such as the Superocean Y17393101B1A1, which may be exposed to perspiration, water and UV rays, a quality artisan vegetable-tanned leather strap, when properly maintained, typically lasts between 2 and 4 years. Shell cordovan, owing to its dense grain structure, tends to offer greater longevity. It is recommended to avoid submerging leather straps and to apply a neutral conditioner periodically to preserve the fibres.
