Strap for Marine 5517 Titanium / Blue / Alligator

The lug width of the Breguet Marine 5517TI/Y1/9ZU is 20mm. To verify this, measure with a digital caliper the internal distance between the two lugs of the case, which are the metal appendages that accommodate the spring bar of the strap.

For the titanium version of the Marine 5517, vulcanized rubber enhances the sporty and maritime character of the model while ensuring water resistance. For formal occasions, smooth matte alligator in navy blue or cognac is the haute de gamme choice. Grey slate grained calf is an elegant and versatile everyday alternative.

Replacement of the original bracelet or strap is done through the spring bars housed in the case lugs. It is advisable to use a professional fine-tipped spring bar tool to avoid scratching the titanium. Given the delicate finishing, it is recommended to entrust the operation to a watchmaker or specialized atelier such as Casati Milano.

Yes, all straps with a 20mm lug width are technically compatible with the Breguet Marine 5517TI/Y1/9ZU. For the slightly curved lugs of the Marine, it is preferable to opt for straps with curved ends or verify compatibility with standard flat ends. Milano Straps offers a dedicated selection of 20mm compatible straps.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning, usage, and care. A high-quality alligator or calf strap, with regular but not daily use and kept away from water, typically lasts 2 to 4 years while maintaining intact the buckle and structure. Casati Milano straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
