Superocean A1731267.A775.413X— lug 18mm

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean A1731267.A775.413X is 18mm. This measurement is taken between the inner surfaces of the lugs and represents the exact reference for selecting a compatible strap. It is recommended to verify the measurement with a digital calliper prior to purchase.

For the Superocean 36 with its 36mm case, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned calf leather for everyday wear, Porosus alligator for formal settings, ballistic nylon NATO for marine environments, and vulcanised rubber for aquatic use. Colour pairing depends on the dial: a blue dial pairs well with cognac or tan leather, while a black dial suits plain black or charcoal.

To replace the strap, a fine-tipped springbar tool is required. The Superocean 36 lugs feature a standard aperture: insert the tool tip into the lug hole, compress the springbar and slide the strap free. The process takes approximately two minutes per side. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the case.

Yes. Aftermarket straps with an 18mm attachment are compatible with the Breitling Superocean A1731267.A775.413X, provided they respect the exact lug width and use standard 18mm springbars. Milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps in various materials, made specifically for this width.

On a dive watch such as the Superocean, a quality leather strap — particularly vegetable-tanned — has an average lifespan of two to four years with daily use, provided prolonged contact with salt water and perspiration is avoided. Regular exposure to liquids accelerates leather deterioration. For aquatic use, rubber or NATO straps are preferable, reserving leather for dry settings. With proper care (leather conditioner every three to six months) the lifespan extends considerably.
