Strap for Avenger II Stainless Steel / Mariner Blue / Calf / Pin

The Breitling Avenger A1338111/C870/435X/A20BA.1 has a lug width of 22mm, measured internally between the two lugs of the case. This is the standard measurement for the 43mm Avenger family and allows any aftermarket strap with a 22mm attachment to be fitted without adapters.

For the Avenger A1338111/C870/435X/A20BA.1, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather (tobacco brown or cognac), ballistic nylon NATO for sporting use, and hornback alligator for more formal occasions. The choice depends on context: the NATO strap emphasises the tool watch vocation, whilst vegetable-tanned leather develops an authentic patina over time.

To replace the strap, the spring bars connecting it to the case lugs must be removed. Use a forked springbar tool, inserting the tip into the lug slot and compressing the spring bar inward. It is advisable to protect the case surface with a soft cloth during the operation to avoid scratching the stainless steel.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm attachment is compatible with the Breitling Avenger A1338111/C870/435X/A20BA.1. milanostraps.it offers a selection of handcrafted 22mm straps in leather, alligator, NATO and rubber, made with selected materials and compatible with Breitling's original spring bars.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the type of hide, frequency of use and care taken. A quality vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather strap worn daily with proper attention to moisture can last between 2 and 5 years. Well-maintained alligator leather treated with nourishing cream can exceed 5 years. Milano Straps provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
