How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Chronomat 36?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, maintenance, and daily use. A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap, kept away from prolonged water exposure and excessive perspiration, can last between 2 and 5 years. Traditionally tanned alligator tends to offer greater longevity. Shell cordovan is the most durable option over time. Casati Milano provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
