Strap for AVI Ref. 765 1953 Re-Edition Platinum

The Breitling AVI LB0920131C1X1 features a lug width of 22mm, measured between the inner walls at the base of the case. It is essential to fit a strap exactly 22mm wide to ensure a proper fit and correct aesthetic alignment.

For the platinum variant, a graphite grey or midnight blue Hornback alligator strap complements the cold neutrality of the metal. Alternatively, a ballistic nylon NATO strap in anthracite references the model's aeronautical heritage with a technical, functional aesthetic.

The strap on the Breitling AVI LB0920131C1X1 is secured by standard 22mm spring bars. Using a dedicated springbar tool or a fine-tipped lever, compress the spring bar on one side and slide the strap free from the lug. Exercise care to avoid scratching the platinum case during the operation.

Yes, any aftermarket strap with a 22mm attachment width is compatible with the Breitling AVI LB0920131C1X1. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted leather, alligator and technical-material straps specifically dimensioned for this reference, with lengths and tip shapes optimised for the model's integrated lugs.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on hide quality and frequency of wear. A vegetable-tanned calfskin strap of artisanal quality, properly maintained and rotated with other straps, can last between 2 and 5 years. High-grade alligator straps, owing to the natural structure of their scales, tend to resist moisture and mechanical stress more effectively, extending useful life to over 4 years.
