Strap for Avenger II Seawolf Stainless Steel / Volcano Black / Rubber / Pin

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger A17331101B1S2 is 22mm. This measurement must be taken internally between the two case lugs, at the point where the spring bars engage. It is the standard dimension shared across the entire 45mm Avenger family.

For the 45mm Breitling Avenger A17331101B1S2, a vegetable-tanned calf leather strap in tobacco or honey tones is recommended for an authentic Pilot Heritage aesthetic. A matte alligator strap in anthracite suits a more formal register. Vulcanised rubber is the preferred choice for sporting or water-related use.

The strap on the Breitling Avenger A17331101B1S2 is replaced by removing the spring bars that secure the strap to the case lugs. A dedicated spring bar tool with a fork tip is required. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the case, or to entrust the operation to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm lug width is technically compatible with the Breitling Avenger A17331101B1S2, provided the spring bars have the correct diameter for Breitling lug holes (typically 1.8mm). Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted 22mm straps in leather, alligator, rubber and NATO, all compatible with this reference.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on leather quality, care and usage habits. A high-quality vegetable-tanned calf strap, properly maintained with appropriate conditioners and stored correctly, typically lasts between 2 and 4 years of daily wear. Regular exposure to water or perspiration significantly shortens its service life; in such contexts, a rubber or NATO strap is strongly recommended.
