Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Breitling Avenger A13317101B1A1?

The Breitling Avenger A13317101B1A1 has a lug width of 22mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case, best verified with a calliper positioned perpendicular to the strap axis. Any strap with a 22mm attachment is fully compatible with this reference.

What is the best strap for the Breitling Avenger A13317101B1A1?

Given the 45mm stainless steel case of the Avenger, the most suitable materials are alligator leather for formal settings, vegetable-tanned calfskin for structured daily wear, ballistic nylon NATO for sporting use, and vulcanised rubber for marine environments or intensive physical activity. The optimal choice depends on context and personal style preference.

How do you change the strap on a Breitling Avenger A13317101B1A1?

The strap on the Avenger A13317101B1A1 is secured via standard 22mm spring bars fitted into the case lugs. To replace the strap, use a spring bar tool to compress and release each bar, remove the old strap, and insert the new one. The operation takes only a few minutes and requires no specialised watchmaking skills, though it is advisable to work on a soft surface to protect the case from scratches.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Avenger A13317101B1A1?

Yes. Any strap with a standard 22mm attachment and spring bars is compatible with the Breitling Avenger A13317101B1A1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted 22mm straps in various leathers and finishes, designed to complement watches with substantial case diameters such as this one.

How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Avenger A13317101B1A1?

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, frequency of use, and exposure conditions. A high-grade vegetable-tanned calfskin or alligator strap, with regular care — drying after moisture exposure and periodic application of leather conditioner — typically lasts between 2 and 5 years. Milano Straps products carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
