| Post subject: | Heritage diver strap on a Skyland |
I saw a photo of a Superocean Heritage diver strap on a Skyland, but I can't understand how it was done... The Heritage comes in either 24mm or 20mm lug, but the Skyland only comes in 22mm Lug, so how was it done? Unless the Heritage diver strap in also come in 22mm ? Anyone seen this combination, it really looked good! |

The Diverstrap is going to replace the old rubberstraps. It is supposed to come also in 22mm. I have not received any yet, but it is possible, that some are already on the market. BG Thomas |

See the link below, it's a skyland on new rubber strap.. http://www.fototime.com/ftweb/bin/ft.dl ... fs?userid={7ADD5C9C-0872-4719-907E-973BB0592A18}&ndx=60&slideshow=0&AlbumId={B05306CA-0548-4128-A1C0-CC7A2BE95F8E}&GroupId={12452BF3-8706-4C57-AAB2-0C0B70FA3555}&screenheight=1050 If that link fails (which it might cos it's so big) it can be found over on timezone.com in the breitling gallery section (look under aeromarine) Looks really neat |

I was suspecting that they would replace the old rubber strap with this new one. I have seen pics of the 22mm Ocean Racer strap on the Skylands... looks hot. Ross (a user here) is getting a Skyland for his 22mm strap.. I actually have pics of the 22mm strap in the bracelets and straps section that he took! |

Yeah, it's somewhat confusing as there is not much information currently available. I first saw the Ocean Racer on a Skyland in a "for sale" ad at another forum. I just loved the way the black strap matched up with the black dial of the Skyland, and I just like deployants. I checked with my local AD and was told that the Ocean Racer only comes in 24mm so I assumed that the lug width of the Skyland was 24mm also. I then found that the Skyland has a 22mm lug width and was even more confused. I finally went to a small jewelry store in Waikiki, one that I don't normally visit because I figured that it was geared more towards the tourist trade. The salesman there told me that the Ocean Racer straps come in different colors and 2 different sizes, 22mm and 24mm. I bought their last black Ocean Racer in 22mm. Although it doesn't show up in the Breitling 2008 price list separately, I was told that the Ocean Racer deployant is $275 and the rubber part is $75. So, I assume that I can replace just the rubber in the future for a reasonable price, should it become damaged. |
