Strap for BR-01 Tourbillon Skull

The lug width of the BR01-TOURB-AIRBORN is 24 millimetres. This measurement is specific to the model and requires straps manufactured to this exact dimension. To verify it, place a flexible ruler on the straight section of the lower lug attachment, from side to side, without force. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of 24mm artisanal straps, ready to ship and customisable in leather, fabric, and finishes.

For the BR01-TOURB-AIRBORN, the ideal strap must respect the timepiece's avionic and tactical identity. Crocodile leather in vegetable tanning with medium-fine grain creates sophisticated contrast against the titanium case whilst maintaining authority. Vegetally-tanned calf in brown or hazelnut tones evokes historical aeronautical heritage. A cotton-polyester NATO fabric in grey or black amplifies sportiness without distraction. Structured FKM rubber excels in high-humidity or maritime environments. Your choice depends on usage: for dress applications, orient towards alligator or fine calf; for sport, favour NATO or technical rubber.

Removing the BR01-TOURB-AIRBORN strap requires a spring bar tool to release the original strap from the lugs. Position the tool into the lateral holes beneath the lug, apply gentle pressure to compress the internal spring, and withdraw the bar. Repeat on the opposite lug. To install the new 24mm strap, align the spring bar with the holes, compress the spring again, and secure the strap. Verify that both sides are locked correctly. If preferred, the Casati Milano atelier offers professional fitting upon appointment.

The BR01-TOURB-AIRBORN accepts only straps with a lug width of 24 millimetres. Milano Straps supplies an artisanal range of 24mm straps, including crocodile, vegetably-tanned calf, NATO fabric, and structured rubber. All Milano Straps products are manufactured in Italy under rigorous quality control and available with personalisation of lengths, engraved initials, and stitching thread colour. Compatibility is assured for standard spring bar attachments.

A genuine leather strap, if properly maintained, typically lasts 3–5 years with moderate daily wear. Longevity varies by material: vegetably-tanned alligator, thanks to dense fibre structure, generally outlasts ordinary calf. Factors that reduce lifespan include constant humidity exposure, salty perspiration, direct UV rays, and lack of maintenance. To extend strap life, rotate your timepiece with at least two straps, dry promptly after water exposure, and occasionally apply a neutral protective balm. Milano Straps applies an 18-month warranty to all artisanal straps, covering manufacturing defects and craftsmanship.
