Strap for Colt Chronograph Automatic Blacksteel / Volcano Black / Military

The lug width of the Breitling Colt M1338810.BF01.109W is 22mm. This measurement is dictated by the architecture of the 44mm case and must be matched precisely to ensure correct fitment of any aftermarket strap.

For the Breitling Colt M1338810.BF01.109W, we recommend vegetable-tanned calf leather straps in dark tones or matte Hornback alligator for formal wear, and vulcanised rubber or ballistic nylon NATO straps for sport and outdoor use. A satin-finish steel deployant clasp is the most suitable fastening for leather straps.

To replace the strap on the Breitling Colt M1338810.BF01.109W, use a spring bar tool to release the spring bars securing the strap to the lugs. No professional tools are required, though working on a soft surface is advisable to prevent scratching the case. Replacement spring bars should measure 1.5mm in diameter and 22mm in length.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm attachment width is compatible with the Breitling Colt M1338810.BF01.109W, provided the spring bars are of the correct dimensions. Milano Straps offers a curated range of handcrafted 22mm straps specifically designed to fit Breitling lugs, available in a variety of materials and finishes.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, frequency of use, and exposure to perspiration and moisture. A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap, worn daily and maintained with regular conditioning, typically lasts between 18 and 36 months. Alligator straps, thanks to the denser grain structure, tend to last longer. Milano Straps provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects on all its straps.
