Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Breitling Avenger A3239053.BC34.109W?

The Breitling Avenger A3239053.BC34.109W has a lug width of 22mm. This measurement is taken between the two lugs of the case using a digital calliper or a millimetre ruler, at the point where the strap attaches. Any aftermarket strap in 22mm width is compatible with this reference.

What is the best strap for the Breitling Avenger A3239053.BC34.109W?

The most suitable options for the Breitling Avenger A3239053.BC34.109W, given its technical and robust character, are: matte alligator leather for a refined yet instrument-oriented look, vegetable-tanned calf leather for natural patina development, ballistic nylon NATO for intensive use, and vulcanised rubber for extreme environments. The correct width is 22mm.

How do you change the strap on the Breitling Avenger A3239053.BC34.109W?

To replace the strap on the Breitling Avenger A3239053.BC34.109W, use a spring bar tool to release the spring bars from the case lugs. The operation takes approximately two minutes.
