FAQ
What is the lug width of the Breitling Superocean A173678A1B1S1?
The lug width of the Breitling Superocean A173678A1B1S1 is 20mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs at the strap attachment point and determines compatibility with any standard 20mm aftermarket strap.
What is the best strap for the Breitling Superocean A173678A1B1S1?
The optimal choice depends on the intended use. For formal occasions, an alligator leather strap with vegetable tanning and a deployant clasp in brushed steel complements the case beautifully. For sporting or marine use, vulcanised rubber or ballistic nylon NATO straps offer greater moisture resistance and ease of replacement.
How do I change the strap on a Breitling Superocean A173678A1B1S1?
To replace the strap, use a spring bar tool to remove the 20mm spring bars housed in the case lugs. Work on a soft surface to protect the stainless steel case from scratches. If in doubt, the operation can be carried out by a watchmaker or at the Casati Milano atelier by appointment.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Superocean A173678A1B1S1?
Yes. All straps with a standard 20mm straight or slightly tapered end are compatible with the Breitling Superocean A173678A1B1S1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, rubber and textile straps specifically suited to this reference, available at milanostraps.it.
How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Superocean?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, the tanning process and the conditions of use. A high-quality alligator or shell cordovan strap with vegetable tanning, kept away from saltwater and prolonged perspiration, can last between three and seven years, developing a distinctive patina over time. For intensive water use, rubber or NATO straps are recommended.
