It's a Gekota watch strap. I can't see anything similar on their site at the moment. To be honest if I was buying it again I'd probably just stick 'Sailcloth strap' or 'Canvas strap' into ebay, they are usually of similar quality.gtidriver said:
Well I finally bit the bullet and I've joined the slippery slope of buying a nice watch. A very pleasant experience purchasing it at the breitling boutique in lakeside.
Not been a fan of Breitling as I find their watches a bit too "blingy"..... however that is a lovely watch, I hope you enjoy it, if I was on the market for a classy divers that would be right up theregtidriver said:
Thank you for the kind comments, I need to go back as its slightly too lose and the manual adjustment is at max. what other straps for it would you watch experts recommend ??
I think - but others will know for sure - that it is possible to cut the strap and move the clasp to a new hole. My understanding is that there is a lot of adjustment available on Breitling rubber straps.The supplying dealer should be able to do that for you.
Apologies if I’ve got it wrong - never owned a Breitling, though I must say it’s a very nice watch..!

You can't cut the super ocean 2 strap.
I've got the same problem with the oem rubber being too long for my weedy wrist...
I solved it by buying a fake shorter one from one of the multitude of available sellers of Ebay or one of the Chinese sites. Can't remebr which I opted for in the end.
I can't tell the difference between the straps, but appreciate it's not a solution for everyone... A few other options... As you can see I was a little undecided!
