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

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger A1338111/C870/438X/A20D.1 is 22mm. This measurement is taken between the two lugs at the point where the strap attaches to the case. For an accurate reading, use a digital calliper or a millimetre ruler rather than relying on the size of a previously fitted strap, which may have stretched over time.

The most suitable straps for the Breitling Avenger A1338111/C870/438X/A20D.1 are: Tuscan calfskin with vegetable tanning for everyday wear with natural patina development, matte alligator leather for more formal settings, vulcanised rubber for sports or water-related activities, and ballistic nylon NATO for maximum reliability and fidelity to the watch's aeronautical heritage.

To replace the strap on the Breitling Avenger A1338111/C870/438X/A20D.1, a spring bar tool is required. Insert the forked end of the tool into the spring bar slot, compress the bar laterally and slide the strap free from the lug. No specialist watchmaking skills are needed, though care should be taken to avoid scratching the case. The 22mm lugs accept standard 1.5mm diameter spring bars.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, frequency of use and exposure to perspiration and moisture. A premium Tuscan calfskin strap with vegetable tanning, maintained periodically with natural wax, can last between three and five years with daily use. High-grade alligator straps, properly cared for and rotated with other straps, can exceed seven years. MilanoStraps provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
