Strap for Marine Dame 9518 Stainless Steel - Diamond / MOP / Alligator

The lug width of the Breguet Marine 9518ST/5W/984/D000 is 20mm. This measurement should be taken internally between the two lugs at the attachment point to the case, using calipers or a millimeter ruler. It is a precise measurement: straps of 19mm or 21mm do not guarantee correct attachment and can damage the lugs over time.

For the 33.8mm stainless steel Breguet Marine 9518ST/5W/984/D000, box-calf leather and alligator belly in polished finish are the choices most consistent with the maison's aesthetic. For more sporty or marine use, vulcanized rubber or a navy nylon NATO strap are technically appropriate alternatives that respect the model's maritime DNA.

Changing the strap on the Breguet Marine 9518ST/5W/984/D000 requires using a fine-tipped spring bar tool to remove the attachment bars from the shaped lugs. It is recommended to work on a soft surface to protect the case finishes and to rely on a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier to preserve the integrity of the lugs and the characteristic bezel of the model.

The lifespan of a leather strap on a Breguet Marine depends on the material and usage. A quality alligator or box-calf leather strap, used with care and stored properly, lasts an average of 2 to 4 years with daily use. Prolonged exposure to water and sweat accelerates deterioration: for frequent marine or sporty use, rubber is preferable. The Casati Milano warranty covers 18 months for manufacturing defects.
