The Avenger A3239011/BC35/106W/A20BA.1, seen from the bench

The Breitling Avenger A3239011/BC35/106W/A20BA.1 is a 43mm stainless steel professional instrument designed for cockpit operations, launched in 2001 as an evolution of Breitling's aeronautical heritage. It features the Breitling Caliber 32 automatic movement with independent 24-hour hand function for dual time zone tracking. The 22mm lug width reflects the architectural proportions of the case and requires a compatible strap for proper fit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Breitling Avenger A3239011/BC35/106W/A20BA.1?

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger A3239011/BC35/106W/A20BA.1 is 22mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the case lugs where the strap attaches. Always verify with a calliper before purchasing a replacement strap.

What is the best strap for the Breitling Avenger A3239011/BC35/106W/A20BA.1?

For the 43mm Avenger with its aeronautical character, the most suitable straps are: matte-finish alligator with vegetable tanning for formal wear, grain calf leather for intensive daily use, ballistic nylon NATO for consistency with the military aesthetic, and vulcanised rubber for sport and aquatic environments. The correct width is 22mm.

How do I change the strap on the Breitling Avenger A3239011/BC35/106W/A20BA.1?

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool. Insert the forked tip into the lug slot, compress the spring bar, and slide the strap free. Take care not to scratch the stainless steel case. For your first replacement, we recommend consulting a watchmaker or specialist atelier to avoid any accidental damage.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Avenger A3239011/BC35/106W/A20BA.1?

Yes. Any aftermarket strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible with the Avenger A3239011/BC35/106W/A20BA.1. Milano Straps offers a curated range of handcrafted leather, NATO, and rubber straps in the 22mm size, with materials that often match or exceed the quality of the original strap.

How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Avenger?

Strap longevity depends on leather type, tanning method, and usage conditions. A vegetable-tanned alligator strap, properly maintained and kept away from prolonged moisture, typically lasts 3 to 5 years of daily wear. Grain calf straps offer comparable durability with greater abrasion resistance. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
