Strap for Colt Quartz Mariner Blue / Calf / Pin

The lug width of the Breitling Colt A7438811/C907/105X/A20BA.1 is 22mm. This measurement is taken with a digital calliper between the two lugs at the point closest to the case, both at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock sides. Any aftermarket strap with a 22mm attachment is compatible with this reference.

For the Colt A7438811/C907/105X/A20BA.1, a technical nylon NATO strap is the most coherent choice given the model's military origins, offering dual-bar security and water resistance. Alternatively, a matte alligator or vegetable-tanned calfskin strap raises the formal register while respecting the sobriety of a brushed steel case. Vulcanised rubber is recommended for sporting and aquatic use.

To replace the strap on the Colt A7438811/C907/105X/A20BA.1, use a flat-tipped screwdriver or a dedicated spring bar tool. Insert the tool into the lug hole or between the strap keeper and the spring bar, compress the spring, and slide the bar free. Repeat for both lugs. The operation takes approximately two minutes and requires no specialist equipment. Work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the bezel.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning, daily use, and maintenance. A high-quality vegetable-tanned calfskin strap, with regular use and occasional conditioning, typically lasts between two and four years before showing structural wear. A premium alligator strap, properly cared for, can exceed five years. Milano Straps products are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
