Strap for Avenger II Stainless Steel / Mariner Blue / Rubber / Pin

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger A13381111C1S2 is 22mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case, taken with a digital calliper placed directly against the case. This is a standard size, allowing any aftermarket strap with a 22mm fitting to be mounted without modification.

The ideal choice depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For intensive or water-adjacent use, a vulcanised rubber strap offers maximum functionality. For an authentic military aesthetic, a NATO strap in nylon or leather is entirely appropriate. For a more refined register whilst retaining the case's assertive character, a hornback alligator strap with pronounced grain or a vegetable-tanned calfskin strap represents the finest artisanal option.

To replace the strap, use a dedicated springbar tool with a fine tip. Insert the tip into the lug hole or between the lug and the strap, compress the spring bar and slide the strap free. The operation requires care: we recommend consulting a watchmaker or a specialist strap retailer equipped for the task, to avoid scratching the stainless steel case.

Yes. Any strap with a standard 22mm fitting is compatible with the Breitling Avenger A13381111C1S2. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps in leather, alligator, calfskin and rubber, specifically selected for this lug width. Italian artisan quality ensures finishes and thickness proportional to the 43mm case diameter.

Longevity depends on leather quality, tanning method and daily use conditions. A high-quality vegetable-tanned calfskin strap, worn regularly but kept away from extreme moisture, will typically last between two and four years. Alligator straps, owing to the natural structure of the scales, tend to last considerably longer whilst developing a distinguished patina. Casati Milano provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects on all straps.
