Strap for Breitling for Bentley Motors Green

The lug width of the Breitling for Bentley A2536212.L505 is 24mm. This non-standard lug width is characteristic of Breitling's sport-luxury models in this category and is essential to maintain correct proportions on a 48.70mm diameter case. Verify the measurement using a digital calliper, measuring the internal space between the two lugs where they connect to the case.

Alligator leather in vegetable tanning represents the most refined choice for this model, thanks to its regular grain and ability to develop patina over time. Alternatively, shell cordovan offers superior resistance and a naturally polished finish, whilst thick-grained calf leather guarantees versatility and comfort. Your choice depends on your lifestyle and primary context of use.

To change the strap, remove the watch from your wrist and place it on a soft surface. Locate the spring bar connecting the strap to the case and use a dedicated tool (strap remover or small flat screwdriver) to push the bar slightly, creating enough space to extract the old strap. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new 24mm strap by aligning the holes and ensure the spring bar is fully seated on both sides.

Yes, provided it strictly respects the 24mm lug width. However, we recommend straps made by artisans specialised in Swiss watches, who understand the manufacturing tolerances and material quality required for a timepiece of this calibre. An unsuitable strap could cause excessive play or premature wear of the original lugs.

A quality leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan, calf leather) typically lasts 3–5 years of daily use, provided proper maintenance is observed. Shell cordovan, thanks to its superior fibre density, tends to exceed 5 years. Ageing is natural and desirable: the patina that develops increases the aesthetic value of the strap. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, direct heat, and intense sunlight to maximise longevity.
