Strap for Avenger II Stainless Steel / Tungsten Gray / Rubber / Pin

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger A1338111/F564/158S/A20S.1 is 22mm. This measurement is taken between the two lugs of the case using a digital calliper, measuring the internal free distance. Any strap with a 22mm attachment will be compatible with this reference.

Given the military and professional vocation of this model, a ballistic nylon NATO strap is the most coherent choice with the watch's DNA. For a more formal register, vegetable-tanned calfskin or Hornback alligator with a pronounced grain offer an elegant contrast against the 43mm steel case. For intensive sporting use, a vulcanised rubber strap is the most appropriate technical solution.

To replace the strap, the spring bars connecting the strap to the case lugs must be removed. A bifurcated springbar tool is used, applying gentle leverage to avoid scratching the steel case. It is recommended to work on a soft surface and, if in doubt, to entrust the operation to a watchmaker or authorised retailer.

Yes, all straps with a 22mm attachment are compatible with this Breitling Avenger reference. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of Italian handcrafted straps in various leathers and technical materials, including spring bars. Buckle finishes available include brushed steel, PVD black, and deployant clasp to replicate or personalise the original aesthetic.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning, daily wear, and exposure to perspiration and weather conditions. A quality vegetable-tanned calfskin strap, with ordinary care, has an average life of 2–4 years. A well-maintained alligator strap can last considerably longer. Milano Straps guarantees its straps for 18 months against manufacturing defects.
