Strap for Breitling for Bentley Flying B Gold

The Breitling for Bentley R2836212.A634 features a lug width of 24mm. This is a non-standard measurement in the watch industry, requiring straps specifically manufactured or sourced for this width. It is advisable to verify the measurement using digital callipers placed between the lower lug tips.

For a Red Gold case of 38.50mm, the ideal strap is a vegetable-tanned alligator with symmetrical belly grain, in shades of bordeaux, cognac or dark chocolate. Shell cordovan is a distinguished alternative offering a natural lustre that develops beautifully over time. Both options complement the warm chromatics of red gold without overpowering the dial.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool or fine flat-head screwdriver to remove the spring bars from the lugs. Given the uncommon 24mm width, it is advisable to entrust this operation to a watchmaker or a specialist atelier such as Casati Milano to avoid any risk of scratching the Red Gold case.
