Strap for Aviator 8 Chronograph 43 Stainless Steel / Blue / Calf / Folding

The Breitling AVI A13316101C1X3 features a lug width of 23mm — a non-standard measurement that requires specifically sized straps to ensure a precise fit between the case lugs. It is advisable to verify this measurement with a digital calliper before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

The most suitable materials for the Breitling AVI A13316101C1X3 are cognac or black alligator belly leather, vegetable-tanned calf leather for everyday wear, and shell cordovan for those seeking dense texture and durability. For sporting use, a woven nylon NATO or vulcanised rubber strap is recommended. All options must feature a 23mm attachment width.

To replace the strap on the Breitling AVI A13316101C1X3, a springbar tool is required. Insert the tip into the gap between the lug and the springbar, apply gentle leverage, and slide the spring bar out. Repeat on the opposite side. Insert the new 23mm strap and secure the spring bars in position. This operation can be carried out at home with the correct tools.
