Strap for Cockpit Lady Diamond / MOP / Red Teju

The lug width of the Breitling Cockpit A7135612.A663 is 20mm. This measurement is taken with a digital calliper positioned between the inner edges of the lower lugs, where the strap inserts beneath the horns.

For the Cockpit A7135612.A663 with its 31.80mm case, a 20mm vegetable-tanned alligator or shell cordovan strap best complements the stainless steel finish. For more active use, a technical nylon NATO or vulcanised rubber strap are functional alternatives consistent with the instrument-grade identity of the watch.

To replace the strap on the Breitling Cockpit A7135612.A663, the existing bracelet or strap must be removed using a 20mm spring bar tool. A fine-tipped spring bar tool compresses the spring bar ends within the lugs, releasing the strap. It is advisable to have the procedure carried out by a watchmaker to avoid scratching the case.
