Strap for Double Tourbillon 5349 Platinum - Baguette / Diamond

The Breguet Classique Complications 5349PT/11/9YV/DD0D is fitted with an 18 mm lug width. This measurement should be taken with a precision caliper on the internal distance between the two case lugs, not on the end of the original strap. It is a specific measurement that does not allow for approximations in order to not compromise the fitting on the original platinum lugs.

The strap most consistent with the identity of this platinum watch is Mississippiensis alligator with square belly grain, in polished or matte finish. Navy blue and burgundy are the chromatic tones that best enhance the guilloché dial and the neutrality of platinum. For daily wear, high-quality saddler calf represents a refined alternative capable of developing patina over time.

Strap replacement requires a fine-tipped spring bar tool, preferably made of plastic material or with a rubber-tipped end to avoid scratching the platinum lugs. Insert the tool into the spring bar seat, compress and extract the strap with a controlled lateral movement. On a timepiece of this caliber, it is recommended to entrust the operation to a qualified watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier to avoid any risk of scratches on the case.

A high-quality alligator or calf strap, with regular but careful use, has an average lifespan between 2 and 4 years. Longevity depends on frequency of use, exposure to sweat and humidity, and periodic care with specific products for fine leathers. Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects and are made with hand-tanned leathers that guarantee superior resistance compared to industrial production.
