Strap for Avenger II GMT Stainless Steel / Volcano Black / Calf / Folding

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger A3239011/BC35/112X/A20D.1 is 22mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two case lugs where the strap is fitted. It is essential to verify this measurement with a calliper before purchasing any aftermarket strap.

The ideal strap for the Breitling Avenger A3239011/BC35/112X/A20D.1 depends on the intended use. Vegetable-tanned Tuscan calfskin is excellent for daily wear and develops an authentic patina over time. Mississippi alligator with square-scale texture suits formal occasions. For sport or diving use, anatomical vulcanised rubber or ballistic nylon NATO straps are the most functional choices.

To replace the strap on the Breitling Avenger A3239011/BC35/112X/A20D.1, you will need a fine-tipped or fork-style spring bar tool. Insert the tool into the dedicated slot on the spring bar, compress it and slide the strap free from the lug. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the stainless steel case. If in doubt, entrust the operation to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible with the Breitling Avenger A3239011/BC35/112X/A20D.1, provided the spring bar has a standard diameter (1.5mm) and appropriate length. Milano Straps offers an extensive selection of handcrafted 22mm straps made specifically for this watch family, available in leather, rubber and nylon.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on leather quality, frequency of use and maintenance. A high-quality vegetable-tanned calfskin strap, worn daily and conditioned periodically with leather cream, typically lasts 2 to 4 years. Alligator, owing to the natural density of its scales, tends to last longer. Frequent exposure to water or perspiration significantly reduces longevity; in such conditions, alternating with a rubber or NATO strap is strongly advisable.
