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

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger A1338111/F564/433X/A20BA.1 is 22mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case and is the primary parameter for selecting a compatible strap. It is advisable to verify the measurement with a digital calliper before purchasing.

For this 43mm instrument-oriented model, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap in tobacco or midnight blue offers the best balance between professional character and refinement. A high-density nylon NATO strap references Breitling's aviation heritage, whilst vulcanised rubber remains the most practical option for sports use or exposure to humidity.

The strap is removed using a spring bar tool or a fine-tipped lever, inserted into the slot of the 22mm spring bar between the lugs. Compress the spring bar on one side to release it from the lug, then repeat on the other side. No screws are involved. It is recommended to work on a soft mat to protect the case and crystal from accidental scratches.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm attachment and standard length (approximately 120mm for the long piece and 75mm for the short piece, for 43mm cases) is technically compatible. Milano Straps offers handcrafted Italian straps in 22mm, made from selected materials and fitted with steel buckles or deployant clasps, specifically designed for large-diameter cases such as the Avenger's.

Longevity depends primarily on leather quality, tanning method and conditions of use. A quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, with proper care (periodic cleaning and application of a specific conditioner), maintains structural and aesthetic integrity for 2 to 4 years with daily wear. Excessive perspiration and prolonged water exposure are the main degradation factors. The use of a deployant clasp reduces mechanical stress on the stitching and extends the strap's service life.
