Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Breitling for Bentley A2536513.C781?
The lug width of the Breitling for Bentley A2536513.C781 is 22mm. This measurement should be taken between the two lugs at the point where the strap meets the case, using a millimetre calliper for precision. The lugs feature an arched profile, so it is advisable to verify the curvature before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure a proper fit.
What is the best strap for the Breitling for Bentley A2536513.C781?
For a 49mm stainless steel case such as the Breitling for Bentley A2536513.C781, a Louisiana alligator strap with a polished or semi-polished finish is the most coherent choice given the watch's character. Alternatively, a vegetable-tanned calfskin strap develops an authentic patina over time, while vulcanised rubber is ideal for those seeking robustness and comfort in more active settings. A deployant clasp in steel is preferable to a tang buckle to manage the weight of the case comfortably.
How do you change the strap on the Breitling for Bentley A2536513.C781?
To replace the strap on the Breitling for Bentley A2536513.C781, you will need a fine-tipped spring bar tool to remove the 22mm spring bars connecting the strap to the case. Given the arched lug profile and the substantial 49mm case diameter, it is recommended to work on a soft surface to avoid scratches. If in doubt, entrust the operation to a watchmaker or to the Casati Milano atelier.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling for Bentley A2536513.C781?
Yes, aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling for Bentley A2536513.C781 are available, provided they conform to the 22mm lug width and the arched attachment profile. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of 22mm straps in various materials — alligator, calfskin, rubber and NATO — crafted by hand and compatible with this reference.
