Strap for Classic AVI Chronograph Curtiss Warhawk / Bracelet

The lug width of the Breitling AVI A233802A1L1A1 is 22mm. This measurement is consistent across the entire AVI family and can be verified using a digital calliper to measure the internal distance between the two lugs of the case.

The most suitable straps for the Breitling AVI A233802A1L1A1 are vegetable-tanned calf leather in tobacco or cognac tones for everyday wear, polished alligator for formal settings, and vulcanised rubber or ballistic nylon NATO for sport or travel use. The lug width to observe is 22mm.

To replace the strap on the Breitling AVI A233802A1L1A1, a springbar tool is required to release the spring bars from the lugs. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the stainless steel case: place the watch face-down on a soft cloth and work gently along the side of each lug. Alternatively, a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier can perform the swap in a matter of minutes.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm attachment width is technically compatible with the Breitling AVI A233802A1L1A1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, rubber and textile straps specifically selected for this lug width, with customisable lengths and linings to ensure a perfect fit with the original case.

Strap longevity depends on the material, frequency of wear and maintenance routine. A quality vegetable-tanned calf leather strap, worn daily with proper care, typically lasts between 18 and 36 months. Shell cordovan and alligator, owing to their denser fibre structure, can last considerably longer. Milano Straps handcrafted straps carry an 18-month production defect warranty.
