Strap for Montbrillant Legende Two Tone / Bronze

The lug width of the Breitling Montbrillant C2334021.Q549 is 20mm. This measurement is taken internally between the two lugs, at the point where the strap or bracelet makes contact.

For a 47mm case in rose gold and stainless steel, a padded alligator strap with a gloss finish or a through-dyed calfskin strap offers the best aesthetic balance. Cognac or tobacco tones complement the warmth of the rose gold, whilst black pairs well with the steel elements.

The strap is replaced using a dedicated springbar tool. Press the tip of the tool against the end of the springbar to compress it and slide it free from the lug. Care must be taken to avoid scratching the polished lug surfaces. If in doubt, consult a watchmaker or specialist atelier.

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm attachment width is technically compatible. Milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, NATO, and rubber straps designed for 20mm lugs, with bespoke customisation available through the Casati Milano atelier.

Longevity depends on the material and frequency of use. A quality alligator strap with silk thread stitching and hand-finished edges can last 3–5 years with regular maintenance. Vegetable-tanned leather develops a patina over time, whilst chrome-tanned leathers tend to deteriorate more quickly. Exposure to perspiration and water accelerates wear; rotating straps is strongly recommended.
