Strap for Avenger Chronograph 43 Stainless Steel / Blue / Bracelet

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger A13385101C1A1 is 22mm. This measurement should be taken with a calliper positioned perpendicular to the case, at the junction between the lug and the case middle. Any 22mm strap is compatible without modification.

The ideal choice depends on the intended use. For formal occasions, an alligator strap with hornback grain or a vegetable-tanned calfskin strap pairs well with the stainless steel case. For sport or water-related use, a vulcanised rubber strap or a ballistic nylon NATO offers superior durability and comfort. A deployant clasp is recommended for leather straps to preserve their shape over time.

The strap is replaced by removing the 1.8mm spring bars using a dedicated spring bar tool or a bifurcated pin pusher. The Avenger's robust lug profile facilitates this operation. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the case, and to use certified stainless steel replacement spring bars.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm attachment is technically compatible with the Breitling Avenger A13385101C1A1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, rubber, and textile straps specifically dimensioned for this reference, with lengths and thicknesses optimised for the original Breitling lugs.

Longevity depends on the type of leather, frequency of use, and exposure to perspiration and weather. A quality vegetable-tanned calfskin strap, regularly conditioned and stored away from heat sources, typically lasts 2–4 years with daily use. A high-grade alligator strap can last over 5 years with proper care. Milano Straps offers an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
