Strap for Marine 5517 Titanium / Slate Grey / Alligator

The lugs of the Breguet Marine 5517TI/G2/9ZU measure 20mm in width. This is the measurement to specify when purchasing a compatible aftermarket strap. The standard buckle for this width is typically 18mm, in line with the proportions of the 40mm titanium case.

For the Marine 5517TI/G2/9ZU in brushed titanium, the most suitable materials are matte alligator in midnight blue or grey for formal occasions, smooth calfskin in cognac brown for a sporty-elegant register, and vulcanized rubber in black or cement grey for daily use consistent with the model's nautical spirit. The bicolor blue/white nylon NATO is an authentic choice for those wanting to evoke maritime tradition.

The strap on the Breguet Marine 5517TI/G2/9ZU is removed with a fine-pointed spring bar tool, gently leveraging the lug spring. It is advisable to protect the titanium case back with a soft cloth during the operation to avoid scratches. Alternatively, you can contact a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier for professional installation.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug attachment is technically compatible with the Breguet Marine 5517TI/G2/9ZU, provided that the lug profile allows for correct insertion of the spring bars. On milanostraps.it you will find a selection of 20mm straps in various materials, handcrafted, with 18mm buckle and also available in bespoke version through the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the leather, daily care, and exposure to sweat and atmospheric agents. A strap in quality artisanal alligator or calfskin, kept away from water and regularly rotated with a second strap, can last from 3 to 5 years while maintaining a respectable patina. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on manufacturing defects on all of its straps.
