Strap for Classique 7788 Moonphase Rose Gold / Grand Feu Enamel

The Breguet Classique 7788BR/29/9V6/DD00 is equipped with an 18mm lug width. This is a recurring measurement in the Classique line, chosen by the Manufacture to maintain elegant proportions in relation to the 39mm case. Before purchasing an aftermarket strap, it is advisable to verify the measurement with a caliper between the two lugs of the case.

For the 7788BR in rose gold, the Louisiana alligator strap with polished finishing is the choice most consistent with the haute horlogerie aesthetic of the model. Midnight blue recalls the lunar dial, havana brown enhances the warm tones of rose gold. An 18-karat rose gold deployant completes the pairing with metallic coherence. High-quality European tanned calf leather is a valid alternative for a more everyday look.

The strap replacement is done via spring bars, the small spring-loaded pins housed between the case lugs. With a special bifurcated spring bar tool, compress the ends of the pin and slide off the strap. The operation requires care not to scratch the rose gold case: it is advisable to entrust the work to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier for the first replacement.

Yes, any strap with 18mm lug width and straight terminal compatible with the lug profile of Breguet Classique is technically mountable on the 7788BR/29/9V6/DD00. Milano Straps offers a selection of 18mm artisanal straps, crafted by Casati Milano, in selected leathers with buckle or deployant. It is important to specify the terminal and type of buckle desired at the time of order.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning, daily use, and care. A first-choice alligator strap, properly alternated and kept away from moisture and sweat, can last 3 to 5 years while maintaining a prized patina. Casati Milano guarantees its straps for 18 months against manufacturing defects. Avoid prolonged contact with water and perfumes to preserve the leather fibers.
