Strap for Classique 8788 Moonphase Rose Gold / Grand Feu Enamel

The lug width of the Breguet Classique 8788BR/29/986/DD00 is 20 mm. This is the inner distance between the case horns at the spring bar attachment point. All straps with a 20 mm lug width are compatible with this reference.

For the Classique 8788 in rose gold, the ideal strap is smooth alligator belly-cut in burgundy, tobacco, or cognac brown tones. The texture of the scales complements the guilloché dial, while the warm hues enhance the rose gold color. Alternatively, a navy blue box-calf leather offers an elegant and contemporary contrast.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool—either forked or pointed—to remove the spring bars from the case horns. It is recommended to work on a soft cushion to protect the polished surfaces of the rose gold. If you are unfamiliar with the procedure, it is preferable to contact a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier, which offers installation service concurrent with strap delivery.
