Strap for Avenger II Stainless Steel / Mariner Blue / Bracelet

The Breitling Avenger A13381111C1A1 has a lug width of 22 mm. This measurement is taken with a calliper positioned internally between the two lugs, flush against the case. 22 mm is a well-established standard in high-end sport chronographs, ensuring a wide availability of compatible aftermarket straps.

The choice depends on the intended use. For daily sport wear, a vegetable-tanned calf leather or vulcanised rubber strap offers durability and comfort. For more formal occasions, a polished belly alligator strap creates a refined contrast with the satin-brushed steel case. A ballistic nylon NATO strap remains the most faithful option to the model's original military aesthetic.

The strap is replaced using a pointed or forked spring bar tool, inserted into the lug hole or into the gap between the strap and the case. Compress the spring bar inward to release the fitting. No professional tools are required, but care must be taken to avoid scratching the steel lugs. It is advisable to work on a soft surface and to apply protective tape to the lugs beforehand.

Yes. Any 22 mm strap is compatible with the Breitling Avenger A13381111C1A1, provided the spring bar diameter is 1.8 mm and the bar length matches the lug width (approximately 20–21 mm). Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted 22 mm straps in leather, alligator, NATO and rubber, all finished to a standard that exceeds the factory-fitted strap.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on leather quality, frequency of wear, and exposure to perspiration and moisture. A high-quality vegetable-tanned calf strap, properly maintained with periodic cleaning and a neutral conditioner, will typically last 3–5 years. Alligator straps, owing to the natural density of the hide, generally last longer. Milano Straps provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
