Strap for Marine 5517 White Gold / Blue / Alligator

The Breguet Marine 5517BB/Y2/9ZU is fitted with 20mm lugs. This measurement is verified by placing a digital caliper between the two upper lugs of the case at the strap attachment point. All straps with 20mm lugs are compatible with this model.

For the Marine 5517BB/Y2/9ZU in white gold, midnight blue alligator or black box calf represent the most coherent choices with the precious case and silvered guilloché dial. Blue echoes the model's nautical vocation, while black ensures formal versatility. Vulcanized rubber is recommended for marine or sports contexts.

The strap on the Breguet Marine 5517BB/Y2/9ZU is removed using a spring bar tool with a fork or fine tip, inserting the tool into the spring bar seat positioned between the lugs. It is recommended to rest the case on a soft cloth to avoid scratches on the white gold. The operation takes approximately two minutes for those with minimal familiarity with watch tools, or can be performed by a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes, all straps with standard 20mm lugs are compatible with the Breguet Marine 5517BB/Y2/9ZU, provided the spring bar ends have the correct diameter. Milano Straps offers a selection of artisanal 20mm straps in alligator, calf, nylon, and rubber, crafted to order or available ready to ship, compatible with this Breguet reference.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the leather, frequency of use, and exposure to sweat and humidity. A high-quality alligator or box calf strap, with moderate daily use, typically lasts between 18 and 36 months. Straps produced by Casati Milano are guaranteed for 18 months against manufacturing defects. Storing the strap away from heat and humidity sources significantly extends the life of the leather.
