Strap for Marine Dame 9518 White Gold - Diamond / MOP / Alligator

The Breguet Marine 9518BB/V2/984/D000 is fitted with a 20mm lug width. This measurement is taken internally between the two lugs of the case using a caliper and is the standard width to specify when purchasing a compatible strap.

For the white gold Marine 9518, polished smooth alligator in midnight blue or burgundy is the ideal choice: the natural grain of the leather complements the guilloché bezel. Box-calf leather is preferable for daily wear, while high-grade vulcanized rubber is suitable for sports or summer use.

Switching from the integrated bracelet to an aftermarket strap requires replacing the original spring bars with standard 20mm spring bars. Given the delicacy of the 18-karat white gold case, it is recommended to entrust the work to a qualified watchmaker to avoid scratches on the lugs during removal.

Yes, all straps with 20mm lugs are technically compatible with the Breguet Marine 9518BB/V2/984/D000. Milano Straps offers a selection of 20mm straps in various materials and finishes, available both online and as bespoke versions through the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and usage. Quality alligator, with proper care and alternating wear, lasts 2 to 4 years. Box-calf leather develops an interesting patina but wears more quickly with perspiration exposure. Casati Milano provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects on all handcrafted straps.
