Strap for Marine 5517 Rose Gold / Silver / Alligator

The Breguet Marine 5517BR/12/9ZU is fitted with 22mm lugs. This measurement is taken with a digital caliper positioned between the two lugs at the strap attachment point, excluding the thickness of the lugs themselves. Any 22mm strap is compatible with this reference.

For the Marine 5517BR/12/9ZU in rose gold, a Mississippiensis alligator strap with wide scale grain in dark brown or tobacco is the most coherent choice: the refined texture complements the guilloché surfaces of the dial, and the warm tone of the leather harmonizes with the rose gold. For more sporting use, a black rubber strap maintains the elegance of the case without sacrificing the nautical functionality characteristic of the Marine family.

The Breguet Marine 5517BR/12/9ZU comes standard with an integrated rose gold bracelet. Replacement with an aftermarket strap requires a spring bar tool to remove the connecting bars between the case and strap. It is recommended to contact a watchmaker or specialized atelier such as Casati Milano to avoid scratching the rose gold lugs during the operation.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is technically compatible with the Breguet Marine 5517BR/12/9ZU. On milanostraps.it you will find a selection of 22mm straps in alligator, calf, rubber, and NATO, handcrafted and available with standard buckles or deployants in various metals, including rose gold for maximum aesthetic consistency with the original case.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the leather, care, and intensity of use. A high-quality alligator strap, with alternated daily use, can last 2 to 4 years while developing an elegant patina. To extend its life, it is recommended to alternate it with other straps, avoid prolonged contact with water and sweat, and treat it periodically with products designed for exotic leathers. Casati Milano straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
