Strap for Avenger II Stainless Steel / Blue / Japan Special Edition

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger A1338111/C996/170A is 22mm. This is the standard measurement for the 43mm Avenger case and allows for a wide selection of quality aftermarket straps.

Given the military-professional character of the Avenger, the most suitable options are: vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather in black or dark brown for a formal look, nylon NATO straps for sporting use, and vulcanised rubber for marine or humid environments. Glazed alligator leather suits more formal pairings.

The strap is replaced using standard 22mm spring bars and a spring bar tool. The Avenger's lugs are solid and well-spaced: the operation takes under two minutes and requires no specialised tools. It is nonetheless advisable to consult a watchmaker to preserve the original strap.

Yes. Any strap fitted with standard 22mm spring bars is compatible with the Breitling Avenger A1338111/C996/170A. Milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, alligator, NATO and rubber straps specifically tailored to this lug width.

A quality leather strap made from vegetable-tanned hide with waxed linen stitching typically lasts 2–4 years with daily wear. Longevity depends on exposure to perspiration, water and heat. Regular conditioning with a quality leather cream can significantly extend its service life.
