Strap for Avenger Hurricane 12H Breitlight / Cobra Yellow / Rubber / Pin

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger XB0170E41I1S2 is 24mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the case attachment pins. A 24mm strap is mandatory to ensure correct alignment with the lugs and prevent lateral play or case movement.

For the Avenger XB0170E41I1S2, straps in medium-grain alligator are recommended, as the material resists deformation caused by the pressure of the massive case. Vegetable-tanned calf leather for those desiring evolving patina; vulcanised rubber or synthetic composites for operations in humid environments; NATO-style nylon straps for tactical versatility.

To change the strap, you will need a spring bar removal tool. Position the forked end of the tool under the pin, then push downward to compress the internal spring and extract the pin. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the pin recesses, then reinsert the pins with gentle pressure until they click into place.

Yes, 24mm aftermarket straps are available online, ready for dispatch and customisable in length, initials and thread colour. Casati Milano atelier, by appointment, creates bespoke straps in selected leather, with photographic updates and an 18-month warranty.

A quality leather strap, subject to regular maintenance (cleaning with a damp cloth and treatment with specific balms every 6-8 weeks), maintains structural and aesthetic integrity for 2-3 years of daily wear. The patina of vegetable-tanned calf evolves over time, creating a unique appearance. Rubber and NATO straps offer superior longevity (4-5 years) as they resist atmospheric agents more effectively.
