Strap for Classic AVI Chronograph P-51 Mustang Red Gold

The lug width of the Breitling AVI R233801A1B1X1 is 22mm. This measurement is taken with a digital calliper positioned between the two inner lug faces at the strap attachment point. Any strap with a 22mm fitting is directly compatible without adapters.

For a red gold 18-carat case such as that of the Breitling AVI R233801A1B1X1, a vegetable-tanned alligator belly strap in dark brown, cognac or bordeaux offers the most coherent pairing. The natural grain of the leather complements the warm tone of the metal. As an alternative, an untreated Tuscan calfskin develops a patina over time that further enhances the prestige of the case.

The strap on the Breitling AVI R233801A1B1X1 is replaced using a flat-tipped spring bar tool or a dedicated screwdriver, acting on the spring bars that connect the strap to the lugs. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to protect the red gold case from scratches. If in doubt, entrust the replacement to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier for a professional result.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the tanning method, care routine and frequency of use. A quality artisan alligator or calfskin strap with vegetable tanning, kept away from excess moisture and perspiration and treated periodically with a nourishing conditioner, can last between 3 and 7 years while retaining its structure and appearance. milanostraps.it backs its straps with an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
