Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Breitling Colt A13388111B1X1?
The Breitling Colt A13388111B1X1 features a lug width of 22mm. This measurement should be taken using a digital calliper placed between the lugs at the point where the strap inserts into the case. Confirming this dimension before purchasing any aftermarket strap is essential to ensure a correct and secure fit.
What is the best strap for the Breitling Colt A13388111B1X1?
The most suitable options for the Colt A13388111B1X1 include vegetable-tanned Tuscan calf leather for versatile everyday wear, alligator leather for a more formal aesthetic, nylon NATO for faithfulness to the model's military origins, and rubber or caoutchouc for intensive sports use. All straps must be 22mm wide to fit correctly.
How do I change the strap on a Breitling Colt A13388111B1X1?
Replacing the strap on the Colt A13388111B1X1 requires a thin-tipped spring bar tool or a lever-style instrument. Insert the tool into the notch of the spring bar, compress it and slide the strap free. The procedure does not require case disassembly and can be performed independently with the correct tools, or entrusted to a watchmaker or specialist atelier.

How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Colt A13388111B1X1?
