Strap for Avenger II Stainless Steel / Volcano Black / Military

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger A1338111.BC33.109W is 22mm. This measurement is taken with a digital calliper at the inner gap between the two lugs, precisely where the strap is inserted. Adhering to this specification is essential to ensure a proper fit without lateral play or undue stress on the case.

The ideal strap for the Breitling Avenger A1338111.BC33.109W depends on the intended use. A ballistic nylon NATO strap suits intensive daily and sporting wear. A vegetable-tanned calf leather strap in military grain strikes an excellent balance between character and refinement, developing a distinguished patina over time. Alligator leather is recommended for formal settings. In all cases, the strap width must be 22mm.

To replace the strap on the Breitling Avenger A1338111.BC33.109W, you need to remove the two spring bars securing the original strap to the lugs. Insert a spring bar tool into the lug slot, compress the bar and slide it out. Care must be taken to avoid scratching the case. It is advisable to use a professional tool with a Teflon tip or to entrust the operation to a watchmaker.

Yes, the Breitling Avenger A1338111.BC33.109W features a standard 22mm lug width, making it compatible with a wide range of aftermarket artisan straps. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of 22mm straps in alligator, vegetable-tanned calf leather, ballistic nylon NATO and vulcanised rubber, all compatible with this reference. Ensure the buckle or deployant clasp is correctly proportioned (22/20mm).

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on leather quality, frequency of use and exposure to moisture and perspiration. A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap, used with care and stored properly, can last between two and five years. Alligator leather, owing to its denser fibre structure and protective finish, generally offers a longer service life. Leather straps should not be worn during water-based activities.
