Strap for Montbrillant Legende Silver

The Breitling Montbrillant A2334021.G631 has a lug width of 20mm. This measurement should be taken with a digital calliper at the internal gap between the lugs — where the strap sits — to ensure an accurate replacement and a proper fit on the wrist.

For an oversize 47mm chronograph such as the Montbrillant, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned alligator for a formal register, grain calf leather for versatile daily use, shell cordovan for a characterful choice, or vulcanised rubber for sporting wear. In all cases, the strap must be strictly 20mm at the lug end.

The strap is removed using a spring bar tool to compress the spring bar terminals housed within the case lugs. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the stainless steel case: protect the surface with a soft cloth and work gently. An experienced watchmaker can complete the swap in a matter of minutes.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Breitling Montbrillant A2334021.G631. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps in various leathers and materials, all made with a precise 20mm lug end, available with a buckle or steel deployant clasp to complement the original case finish.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality and maintenance. A high-quality alligator or calf leather strap, treated periodically with a nourishing cream and kept away from moisture, can last between three and six years with regular use. Shell cordovan is particularly long-lasting due to its dense, compact fibre structure.
