Strap for Montbrillant 01 Red Gold / Mercury Silver / Croco

The Breitling Montbrillant RB013012.G710.730P features a lug width of 20 mm. This measurement must be confirmed before purchasing any aftermarket strap: a strap measuring 19 or 21 mm will not fit correctly between the lugs and will compromise both the aesthetic result and wrist security.

For an 18-carat red gold case, vegetable-tanned alligator leather with a matte finish is the most coherent choice: the belly grain enhances the case's texture without competing with the gold. As an alternative, shell cordovan in Cognac or bordeaux tones offers a progressive patina and a slim profile ideal for shirt cuffs. A deployant clasp in red gold or PVD gold finish completes the ensemble harmoniously.

The strap is removed using a fine-tipped spring bar tool inserted into the spring bar recess within the lug. It is advisable to consult a watchmaker or equipped jeweller to avoid scratching the red gold case. The spring bar has a standard diameter compatible with any 20 mm strap fitted with curved ends to match the Montbrillant lug profile.

Yes: milanostraps.it offers a selection of 20 mm straps compatible with the Montbrillant, handcrafted in Italy. It is essential to choose models with curved ends to respect the profile of the red gold case. Each strap is available with a traditional buckle or a deployant clasp, in various materials: alligator, calfskin, shell cordovan and vulcanised rubber.

Longevity depends on the material and usage. A quality alligator strap, vegetable-tanned and properly maintained, typically lasts between 3 and 5 years with daily wear. Shell cordovan offers superior durability due to the compactness of its fibres. All Casati Milano straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects. To extend strap life, avoid prolonged exposure to perspiration, water and direct sunlight.
