Strap for Super Avenger II Stainless Steel / Mariner Blue / Military / Pin

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger A1337111/C871/104W/A20BA.1 is 24mm. This measurement is dictated by the geometry of the 48mm case and is the critical parameter when selecting a compatible strap. It is advisable to verify the measurement with a calliper between the lugs prior to purchase.

For the 48mm Breitling Avenger, the most appropriate options are a technical nylon NATO strap for everyday and sport use, vegetable-tanned alligator leather for formal occasions, and vulcanised rubber for aquatic activities. In all cases, the 24mm lug width requires artisanal or specialist production, as it falls outside the standard 20-22mm range.

The strap is removed using a springbar tool, inserting the tip into the lateral hole of the lug to compress the spring bar. It is essential to work carefully to avoid scratching the stainless steel case. It is recommended to work on a soft surface and, if in doubt, to entrust the operation to a watchmaker or specialist retailer.

Yes, quality aftermarket straps in 24mm lug width are available for this Breitling reference. Milanostraps.it offers a selection of handcrafted straps produced by Casati Milano in various materials — leather, alligator, NATO and rubber — specifically available in the 24mm size, with steel buckles and deployant clasps suited to this timepiece.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, tanning process and usage. A vegetable-tanned calf leather strap, with moderate daily use, has an average life of 18 to 36 months. Alligator leather, being denser and more resilient, can exceed 36 months with regular maintenance. Prolonged exposure to water and perspiration accelerates deterioration: for intensive use, a NATO or rubber strap is recommended as an alternative to leather.
