Strap for BR 126 Original Black Chronograph

The lug width of the BRV126-BL-ST/SCA is 20mm, a consolidated standard for the sport-elegant segment. This dimension corresponds to the internal distance between the case lugs and is essential for a perfect fit without undesirable lateral play.

For the BRV126-BL-ST/SCA we recommend vegetable-tanned alligator in dark brown or natural chestnut tones: its natural grain and warm colour harmonise beautifully with the brushed steel and midnight-blue dial. For daily versatility, aged Chromexcel calfskin represents the best compromise between aesthetics and durability.

The BRV126-BL-ST/SCA uses standard lug attachments with a 20mm width. Remove the old strap via the internal spring bars (small hidden springs) using a dedicated tool to avoid case damage. The new strap must be inserted manually ensuring the spring bars lock completely into their seats.

Any strap in leather, fabric or rubber with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the BRV126-BL-ST/SCA. We recommend choosing thicknesses and construction characteristics that respect the technical profile of the watch: full and robust leathers or hard fabrics maintain the military aesthetic coherence.

A quality leather strap (alligator, Chromexcel calfskin, shell cordovan) lasts on average 3–5 years with regular wear and minimal maintenance (drying after humidity exposure). Vegetable tanning ages elegantly, developing a deep patina. Budget straps fail after 12–18 months. Our craftsmanship carries an 18-month guarantee.
