FAQ
What is the lug width of the Breitling Superocean A1736006.I514?
The Breitling Superocean A1736006.I514 has a lug width of 20mm. This measurement should be verified using a digital calliper placed between the lugs, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the case, to ensure a precise fit for any replacement strap.
What is the best strap for the Breitling Superocean A1736006.I514?
The ideal choice depends on context. For formal wear, a lacquered alligator or shell cordovan strap in 20mm enhances the model's refined diver character. For everyday or sport use, a vegetable-tanned calf leather or vulcanised rubber strap offers optimal durability and comfort. A nylon NATO strap remains consistent with the Superocean's original military-dive heritage.
How do I change the strap on a Breitling Superocean A1736006.I514?
Strap replacement requires a fine-tipped spring bar tool or lever-style remover to extract the 20mm spring bars seated within the lugs. Work on a soft surface to protect the case finish. Insert the new strap by sliding the spring bar into the lug channel on both sides until it clicks securely into place. For straps with a narrow keeper, it is advisable to remove the spring bar from the outer lug first.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Superocean A1736006.I514?
Yes. Any aftermarket strap with a 20mm attachment is technically compatible with the Breitling Superocean A1736006.I514. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, rubber and nylon straps made specifically for this lug width, with options for standard buckle or deployant clasp in steel, available at milanostraps.it.
How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Superocean A1736006.I514?
Longevity depends on the material and conditions of use. A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap, with regular conditioning — protective cream applied every two to three months and drying away from direct heat — can last between three and five years. Shell cordovan, due to the density of the hide fibres, tends to last longer and develops a characteristic patina over time. Alligator leather requires specific care to preserve the lustre of the scales. Leather straps are not recommended for water exposure with this dive watch.
