Strap for Avenger II Seawolf Stainless Steel / Tungsten Gray / Rubber / Folding

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger A1733110/F563/157S/A20DSA.2 is 22mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case and is the key parameter for selecting a compatible strap. We recommend measuring with a digital calliper at the strap attachment point to confirm the correct size.

For the 45mm stainless steel Avenger, the most fitting options for its tool-watch identity include: a NATO strap in quality nylon for maximum functionality, a matte alligator strap in vegetable-tanned leather for a more formal register, calf leather with military texture for everyday wear, or vulcanised rubber for sporting contexts. The choice depends on usage and the desired stylistic register.

To replace the strap, the spring bars connecting it to the case lugs must be removed. A bifurcated spring bar tool is used to compress the spring bars and slide them out of the lugs. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the case: it is advisable to protect the surfaces with Teflon tape or to entrust the operation to a qualified watchmaker.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm lug width is technically compatible with the Breitling Avenger A1733110/F563/157S/A20DSA.2. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted 22mm straps in leather, NATO and rubber, made by hand in Italy with carefully selected materials. Compared to the original Breitling strap, high-quality aftermarket options offer greater variety in materials, colours and personalisation.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, the tanning method and daily care. A vegetable-tanned calfskin strap, properly maintained and not frequently exposed to water, can last between 2 and 5 years with regular use. A high-quality alligator strap, owing to the more robust grain structure, can exceed 5 years. Applying a leather conditioning cream every 3 to 6 months significantly extends the life of the strap.
