Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Bell & Ross Instruments BR05A-BL-PG/SRB?
The lug width of the BR05A-BL-PG/SRB is 22mm. This measurement refers to the inner distance between the two attachment pins (lugs). It is essential to measure this distance on the inner side, as the outer measurement may vary slightly depending on the case geometry.
What is the best strap for the Bell & Ross Instruments BR05A-BL-PG/SRB?
For the BR05A-BL-PG/SRB in rose gold, we recommend Nile alligator in cognac-amber tones, which creates natural chromatic harmony with the precious case and blue dial. Excellent alternatives include vegetable-tanned calf leather in black or light grey for versatility, or shell cordovan for formal occasions.
How do you change the strap on this model?
The strap is removed using a dedicated watchmaking screwdriver: insert the blade into the groove of the lateral pin and apply gentle pressure to disengage the internal spring. Extract the pin, then the strap. This operation requires care to avoid scratching the rose gold case. We recommend entrusting this task to a professional if you lack experience.
Which aftermarket straps are compatible with the Bell & Ross Instruments BR05A-BL-PG/SRB?
Any quality strap with 22mm lug width is compatible with the BR05A-BL-PG/SRB. Milano Straps offers a complete range of customisable 22mm leather straps, including the option for custom lengths and hand-sewn passants to guarantee a perfect fit.
How long does a leather strap last on this watch?
A quality leather strap typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use and regular maintenance. Lifespan depends on exposure to humidity, perspiration and atmospheric agents. Vegetable tanning ages beautifully over time, developing natural patina. Milano Straps offers straps with an 18-month warranty and the possibility of leather replacement when needed.
