Strap for BR 126 Falcon

The Bell & Ross Vintage BRV126-FALCON/SCA features a 20mm lug width. This dimension is critical to the proportions of the 41mm tonneau case and is measured between the horizontal attachment pins, excluding the inner shoulder of the case. An aftermarket strap must respect this measurement precisely to ensure correct installation and maintain the aesthetic harmony of the model.

Your choice depends on usage and personal style. For a formal approach, alligator in cognac or dark brown tones harmonises with the instrumental precision of the case. Vegetable-tanned calf leather offers versatility and natural ageing. For an authentic technical aesthetic, vulcanised rubber maintains the aviation heritage. Nylon ripstop NATO straps emphasise the military aspect. All materials are available in 20mm at Milano Straps.

Strap replacement is accomplished via the attachment pins located at the case extremities. Remove the old strap by pushing the pins inward using a dedicated spring bar tool. Position the new 20mm strap by aligning the holes, then reinsert the pins until fully locked. Ensure the pins are parallel to the case shoulders for optimal installation. If you prefer to avoid any risk of damage, Casati Milano atelier offers strap replacement service with guarantee.

Yes, provided the strap strictly respects the 20mm lug width. Milano Straps artisanal straps are produced according to construction specifications identical to original straps, guaranteeing complete mechanical compatibility. The difference lies in materials (alligator, calf, rubber) and finishes, which allow you to personalise your BRV126-FALCON/SCA whilst maintaining the design intent of the case.

A natural leather strap with vegetable tanning or alligator has a lifespan of 3-5 years with moderate use, longer with regular maintenance. The leather wears primarily in the fastening area and develops a natural patina over time. Milano Straps guarantees artisanal straps for 18 months. Leather ageing is not a defect, but part of the strap's story: the patina built over time increases the character of the piece.
