Strap for Colt Skyracer Breitlight / Patrouille Suisse / Black Rubber

The lug width of the Breitling Colt X74320B5.BG23.293S is 22mm. This measurement is taken between the two lugs of the case using a calliper, positioned as close to the case as possible. This is the standard measurement to specify when purchasing a compatible strap.

For a 45mm Titaplast case with a professional vocation, vegetable-tanned calf leather with a matte military finish is the most coherent choice. Alternatively, matte alligator offers a more formal register, while vulcanised rubber provides maximum resistance for intensive use. A ballistic nylon NATO strap remains true to the model's military origins.

The strap is replaced using a spring bar tool to remove the spring bars housed in the lug holes. This straightforward operation takes approximately two minutes and does not require a visit to a watchmaker. It is advisable to rest the watch on a soft cushion to avoid scratching the Titaplast case.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible with this model. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted straps in leather, alligator, rubber and NATO specifically suited to 22mm lugs, made with carefully selected materials and Italian artisan craftsmanship.

Longevity depends on the material and conditions of use. A vegetable-tanned calf leather strap, with regular daily wear and kept away from excessive water and perspiration, typically lasts 2–4 years before showing signs of structural wear. Milano Straps straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
