Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Breitling Avenger V17311101B1W1?
The Breitling Avenger V17311101B1W1 has a lug width of 22mm. This dimension is determined by the geometry of the 44mm titanium case and can be confirmed with a digital calliper by measuring the inner distance between the lugs at the strap attachment point.
What is the best strap for the Breitling Avenger V17311101B1W1?
For the titanium Breitling Avenger V17311101B1W1, the most suitable options include vegetable-tanned alligator leather with a matte finish, natural-grain Tuscan calfskin, or vulcanised rubber for intensive use. A brushed steel deployant clasp completes the setup in a functional and refined manner.
How do you change the strap on the Breitling Avenger V17311101B1W1?
To replace the strap on the Breitling Avenger V17311101B1W1, use a spring bar tool to release the spring bars from the titanium case lugs. The operation takes approximately two minutes and can be performed at home with the correct tools, or entrusted to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Avenger V17311101B1W1?
Yes: any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible with the Breitling Avenger V17311101B1W1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted aftermarket straps in leather, rubber and nylon, available ready to ship or bespoke, with standard buckle or deployant clasp.
How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Avenger V17311101B1W1?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on leather quality and frequency of use. A premium alligator or vegetable-tanned calfskin strap, maintained regularly with neutral conditioner every two to three months, typically lasts between three and six years. Frequent exposure to water or perspiration significantly shortens the leather's life; in such cases, a rubber or nylon alternative is advisable.
